I am so thankful that God sent you to save those precious little lives! Like everyone else here, this is something that I personally hear all too frequently. Especially where I live, in a farming community. I can relate to your wanting the momma and afraid of what your husband will say. I remember when I only had 1 cat that I adopted from a shelter. I stopped one evening at a gas station and they had found this tiny kitten under a Pepsi machine. She was starving to death and covered in fleas. They asked me if I wanted a kitten and I told them that my husband would kill me it I brought another cat home. Well.... she went home with me and is now a gorgeous, long haired Calico that is my heart kitty. That was 9 years ago. During the last 3 years 15 more have joined her!! Yes, I am still married What are we supposed to do when no one wants them?! Here, cats are just barn cats.
