Kim,

I will be honest but my answer isn't on your list.

I would suggest you look at each cat's situation on a case by case basis and do what you feel is the best solution.

----------------
but you asked for opinions, so here is a few.....
You should not feel obligated to take a cat because the 'owner' threatens to PTS.

You are NOT responsible for their behaviour. Tell them that. , give them a list of rescue centres.

You can only afford vet bills when you can afford them !!

I know some people would pay anything for a pet but everyone has a limit. Sadly money is a factor in deciding vet treatment and don't feel bad about this, it is just a fact of life.

Having PTS two sick strays, I know how the guilt feeling goes but if the choice is between sick dying cat on the streets or PTS with love, I know which option the cat would choose.
----------------

But in the end these decisions are yours and only yours to make.

You have to live with each and every decision you make.

I'm sure you have made and will continue to make the right choices for all those cats you help.

You have done so much wonderful work in the past and I suspect you'll go onto to help many more kitties in the future.

It is just a shame the endings aren't always happy for the cats but that is the so called 'owners' fault not yours.


{{Hugs}} to you and remember you do a great and charitible deeds for your cats/strays etc but you can't help them all.

(Unless you win the lottery )
