A lot of us are kept by our pets, and are not keepers of our motley crews. 
It is affordable (food, vet care/health insurance, square footage, play things, and affection) for me to have up to 5 rescued cats at a time, two resident dogs (I actually own three, but one of the resident dogs, Obi, & his brother Chewy are shared custody kids), and two small animals (rabbits, rats, or other small creatures). So, I generally do.
I'm lucky enough to have met my animal loving match, in Gaige, who is also an avid rescuer and supporter of animal welfare rights. I frequently encounter folks who say some very rude things to me, about the fact that I have a full house (hoarder/cat lady, you get the picture. Then they wonder why I prefer animals to people most of the time ). Frankly, I feel like the world needs more people like Gaige and I, because there are so many furry children without forever homes.
