I provide cat trees for them to climb on and have tons and tons of mind stimulating toys to keep their brains working. We also play laser which lets them hunt while they're indoors and safe.

Do NOT ever call the Humane Society the UNhumane Society. I take great offense to that because I work there. What would happen if we started giving cats away for free? For one, a lot of testing labs would just go to the shelter to get their victims to torture and do tests on. I think its better to be put to sleep peacefully than to be tortured and neglected to death. The price also covers the costs of SPAYING and NEUTERING which a lot of shelters REQUIRE, not all shelters do require it but most do.

To say that every single stray is happy .. well thats completely naive. I am sure there are happy strays, but I'd be willing to bet there are TONS more who are unhappy. You are judging only by what you see. The general public has blinders on when it comes to the overpopulation problem. If you don't see it, you probably won't realize it.

And you are so offended by the responses, but look at your posts and look at your poll. You are just asking for controversy, as most young people on the net do.

This is a courteous site full of friendly people who love their cats. Please stop being so confrontational and offensive. Thank you.
Well said.
