I'm not a friggin collector; And I don't want to become one. I've
already recognized the possibilty, and have said no to many cats.
sigh There was a beautiful green eyed, blue short hair tom that got
abandoned at the hospital where I work recently. Goddess knows I was
tempted! I did feed him, he dissapeared after about 3 days. I'm hoping
the shelter did not pick him up. New Braunfels shelter is notorious


I know how hard it is to say no. But you have to keep in mind that you, as
only one person, cannot save them all. It is in the best interests of the
cats, both the abandoned ones, and the ones you already have, for you to not
take any more into your home.

Yes, I know...... sad smile

Now I just have to continue to gripe at people that I know to get
their cats spayed! One cat that I accepted from a guy at work a few
years ago was taken under two conditions. One, I got the pick of the
litter and he had to get his cat fixed... He complied. :-) I also
just payed for my neighbor who is poor to get Saris spayed. Lynn will
mow my lawn for a few weeks to pay me back. She did let her have one
litter but she made the cat stay outside to have it. With the number
of fire ants and small predators in our area, feral kittens rarely
surive. The litter was born under the house and lasted less than a
week. :-( Oh well..... They never actually saw the kittens, they
just heard them under the kitchen floor, then they smelled them. :-(

Life sux sometimes. Poor kittens.
