I have had a short discussion with a friend tonight. We were discussing cat rescue, and she didn't seem to consider herself a rescuer. I personally beg to differ and I can cite a hundred cats she's successfully fostered off the top of my head.

What do you consider to be rescue? Is it something as simple as finding a home for the stray that found refuge in your garage or is it wading through snow banks to save that pregnant mama cat before her kittens emerge into the world, then hand feeding them after mama turns them away? Perhaps both and everything in between?

When you think of rescue, what do you think about?
