Did you even read the rest of my post? My next sentence was "That meant that I had to work even harder to find quality, permanent homes for the cats that I had rescued." And that's what I did. As I mentioned in a previous thread, at one period in my life, I had 8 indoor cats of my own and 27 outdoor cats. I provided large, quality dog houses for them, each w/heating pads and covered w/blankets to protect them from the elements. I fed them twice a day, gave them warm cream to put fat on them and I paid out of pocket for all of their shots and vet care, plus I had every one of them spayed and neutered. When I placed them in homes, I had vet papers to prove it and I gave the new families a month's supply of cat food and vitamins.
I am not a child, which means I don't think like a child. Only a child would think that s/he can save all the cats. Sometimes a cat would show up only to eat, find a warm bed for the night and then move on. They were too feral to tame or to place in a home. I also do not have an inflated ego to think that my way is the only way. I've learned a lot from my PT family; I've also received encouragement from them when I was ready to give up. And I can only hope that I've done the same for others here.
And, btw, your veiled insult "There are many people in this world that can handle many cats. We are called cat lovers." did not go unnoticed. To doubt my motives and/or my sincerity regarding cats and cat rescue because I dared to comment on Tiger Ranch is insulting. The best determination of future behavior is past behavior, meaning that if this woman, as sincere as she may have been, is allowed to run another shelter, the same thing will probably happen again. That shelter became a death camp for those cats. You accuse others of being judgmental. Take a look at yourself, why don't ya?
