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.
