And from what I saw cats are surviving but are not 'cared for' as we know it. They have no Vet care or stable nutrition. (I know that's not the case for every cat)

I fed many a hungry cat and was powerless to do anything more than giving them a square meal. (My job had time restraints)

I still think about those cats and it has really spurred me to help cats where I'm at, through fostering.
I think you have obviously spent enough time in these countries to realise the enormity of the problem!
