Mike and I have been having some in-depth conversation today, concerning whether or not we want to continue to rescue. We have lost 5 cats this year! A staggering amount for us, the most we have ever lost in a short amount of time. All died from different causes- had it been one disease that wiped them out, I might be able to have prepared for it, but they all just struck out of the blue, and just when my heart started to begin to heal, we would lose another one. It started with Dunkin, and ended yesterday with Ripley, and in between we lost Stryker, Bartee, and sweet Shredder. I hope it ends soon, I don't believe either of us can stand to lose another one.
The question is, can we stop rescuing? There is such a need for it in this area where people have such small regard for these noble creatures. It is so ingrained in us to help these cats, I don't know if we can stop helping them or not. I just know our hearts ache at the insurmountable losses of late.
