You Can't Make Up this Stuff

Rescue groups who don't stop pushing cats on people to foster are not helping the problem, they're starting a Warehousing Explosion. They don't take them back when they say they will because they have so many in foster homes they really have no place to put them in!  They only take cats to the vet when the cat's at death's door and the same Antibiotics are given for everything from eye infections to pneumonia.

Articles posted on Craigslist about hearing the cries of cats that aren't helped sound like the rantings of a maniac.  Very dramatic but omnious of a sick mind.  The person who posted that sounds like they need medical help. 

Yes we all want to be humane and we want to help as much as possible but to remain sane we need to know when to stop and when we really can't do anything more.  We need our own lives to function well in order to remain emotionally healthy.

To push these cats/kittens/dogs/puppies on foster homes until they are adopted is unrealistic.  How long will it take before they're adopted?  These animals grow quickly.  The way to resolve this is not to continue the revolving door of rescue/adoption.  The linear thinking of the past 60 or so years doesn't work.  A fresh approach is needed. 

Through Emotional Blackmail "rescuers" hope that homes will "fall in love and adopt their little foster cat/kitten."

We can try to find ways to keep the animals off the street and out of the shelters.  We need to help communities implement Trap Neuter Release programs (TNR). 

Free clinics like one in Connecticut and pet food pantries (pet food collection sites) would help initially.
