I would be a crazy cat lady if Mare would let me, but She keeps me grounded.
Seriously, we only have rescued kitties - with the exception of my Charlie and Shaolyn (who have passed) who were born in an apartment. Ember was a barn cat, and Max was rescued from a shelter. We almost took his little sister, but someone already adopted her.
(&(*@&$(#@&*$!!!
We have several feral and abandoned house cats in this neighborhood, and as much as I would love to, I can't house them. I do what I can to make sure they're fed. Our Ember and Max are healthy cats, and I am afraid to expose them, besides the fact Ember is up in years and his health is declining - we thought bringing Max into the house was a gamble in itself.
But .... if I had the funds, I would love to do something more for them.
