As a guardian of a 18 1/2 year old cat I could not imagine every even thinking about giving her up.She doesn't do much these days but sleep when she was adopted as a kitten I made a commitment to her for life.

They say they will only be able to help 200 cats.That is a GREAT start!When you think about how many more offspring are being prevented because of the spay and neuter of these 200

We have become such a throw-away society, even our pets are tossed out! Shame on anyone who can do this to their fuzzy family members. While I can understand not being able to provide, and wanting to do better for their pets, it's just beyond my own commitment to my own animals, to always keep them safe. Regardless. Thankfully, that promise has never been challenged.

VEry sad to read about people turning in their senior pets, SHAME ON THEM I'M SORRY BUT that's how I feel. And the article about putting down unwanted cats, shame again sigh. So depressing.
