Up until a year ago I volunteered at our local shelter once a week. Most of the kitties were either ferals or strays so most of them were not real friendly. We had one kitty named Cee-Cee and she lost an eye to glaucoma and was the most beautiful long-haired sweetheart anyone could want. She was there for about 2 yrs and finally got adoped out. It really broke my heart that I would not see her again but at the same time you have to realize that letting them go to a good home is the best reward.

I also took part in adopting out cats from PetSmart and that was OK for me. Seeing a 8 yr old girl walking away with a new kitten in her arms just melted my heart.
