Suggestion: Be a "sponsor mom or dad"
Untold thousands of perfectly healthy cats and dogs are euthanized every
year because there are not enough people to adopt them (and the primary blame, in my opinion, is failure of people to spay or neuter their pets). One great help is when people agree to foster and socialize pets even when they do not plan to adopt. We have a cat rescue group in our community that has done a wonderful job of finding foster homes until the animals can be adopted. However, it is expensive. They check references, investigate homes, provide food and veterinary care, and arrange for adoptions. I have been donating to this group for several years. A couple of years ago, I also paid for vetting, immunization, and other necesseties for two cats that otherwise would not have survived. I began to call myself a "sponsor mom." At the time, I thought I was creating the term, but I have since seen it in a number of places on the Internet--so, once again, I wasn't being "original" at all. I have sponsored several cats since that time. My purpose in writing is to encourage some of you to do the same thing. Rescue groups can often find more people willing to foster than they have money to support, so something like this is a way that we can benefit our furry friends even if we do not adopt or foster.
