That's just wrong. Here in the US, I give money to Alley Cat Allies,
which sponsors trap-neuter-and-release programs. Our local SPCA is a
no-kill shelter and the City of Austin was supposed to go no-kill by
2000, but that didn't happen. Too many idiots breeding their dogs and
cats.

Yes, they do. Which is rather stupid of them as if I had a vacancy this is
just the sort of cat I would be seeking to adopt as the facilities here for
timid or feral cats are very suitable for them. It's very quiet, almost no
traffic, there are acres of gardens and fields to roam in, and sheds to
sleep in should they be too nervous to come into the house.

The more I learn about the RSPCA the less I like them. They will never get
a penny of my money.

Your home sounds delightful. :-) BTW I forgot to tell you, I thought your
christmas card was to nice to put away, so I've framed it and it's on the
wall by my desk.

They aren't all *my* acres, I only have a quarter of one, but so do all the
neighbours and we back on to fields that go for about a mile before there's
a road.

Aww, thanks for telling me. I'm glad you liked it.
