    To let a cat into your home w/out even the promise of immunization, as you yourself stated, is NOT ok. It is irresponsible and is a danger to your other cats. And flea infestation is serious. Cats can die from it, especially kittens. And if you can't afford to have them altered, then the problem will just continue to spiral out of control and the next thing you know, you'll be in the same situation as Lin Marie was. No one questions your motives and we bristle when our own motives are called into question. And no one engaged in name calling either, as you've repeatedly implied that we've done w/Lin Marie. We all know how heartbreaking it is to see a stray cat, hungry and cold w/no place to lay its head. But there's more to cat rescue than assuaging your conscience w/putting out a bowl of cat food. If you can't see that, then nothing I or anyone else can say to you is going to make a difference. And that's unfortunate for the cats.

    To say that all cat lovers should feel the way you do and then to imply that, if they don't, then they're not cat lovers at all is insulting. You may feign innocence if you like but I have a good command of the English language and I know an insult when I hear or read one. And that's the last I'm going to comment on that subject.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    Thank you Mary, and Donna! I'm not the only one reiterating the quality of care vs. quantity of cats issue.

    I wish people would understand that being responsible for the pets you have, before you take one more, is what is necessary.

    Can you feed them all? Can you get them all neutered and spayed? Can you make sure they are all treated for the illnesses, and make sure they are up to date on the vaccinations? If you can't do that, then that's not helping them. Maybe it makes you feel virtuous and superior to say that you are helping "X" number of cats, and because we don't take every stray in we're not animal lovers in your eyes. I really don't care if that is what you think, because I know that if I'm taking in a stray, they are getting quality care. If I can't care for them, I won't be helping them by taking them in.

    The issue is still quantity of animals vs. quality of care.

    Like I said in the other thread, you cannot, realistically, save them all.
