27 cats/kittens abandoned

[Laura's Babies]

When I find someone like that Medusa, I offer to help them find help in getting the S/N done. I tell them what they have is great and it is called a "sanctuary" and there are things in place to help them. I make sure I tell them the world NEEDS people like her that has a place for them and if it is numbers she wants, the S/N will reduce the kittens but there are many, many more that need a place to go if she was willing to take them.. I can't tell you how many times I have stopped at the flea market where someone has a bunch of kittens and do my S/N speech and tell them all the help there is out there to get that done for free to low cost.

To dump this kitties out in a kennel somewhere and just to abondon them like that is heartbreaking. That is a text book case of not S/N'ing and suddenly getting overwhelmed.. Then just dump their problem on the rest of the world..

You're right, to dump kittens is a sin in my opinion, and it causes a problem for people other than herself if they're dumped somewhere. This woman knows all too well what options are available to her but she won't take advantage of them. Her excuse: "I'm too busy. I'm up at 4:00 to milk the cows, then I'm off to work, then more to do on the farm when I get home. I can't worry about a bunch of cats." I find this attitude all too often.

It puts a burden and heavy strain on all the shelters since it is now kitten season. *sigh* Not to mention all the people like us involved in animal rescue.

I Heard Him Later Laughing That The Momma Cat " Disappeaed"

What A Shame That There Are These Unfeeling Creeps In The World.
