Default PLEASE HELP! Fleas, fleas, FLEAS!

Bryan,

I've seen lots of people say this, but cats live (hopefully) 20 years or
so. People's circumstances change from time to time. If finances change,
should the animals be given away immediately?

Very few people can predict their circumstances for the next 20 years so
by the reasoning below, maybe no one should rescue an animal.

absolutely true.) Suppose an expensive vet bill arose? Broken leg,
etc?
