I had a lovely black and white cat that looks like she is about to deliver kittens arrive on my door sill over the weekend. Please, if you get a new pet for Christmas, don’t forget to neuter it and if you can’t keep it for some reason in the future, don’t just drop it by a barn thinking the farmer will take care of it.
My local farmer can’t take in the strays people drop off and they wander across the street looking for food and shelter. Many of them are killed by passing cars or wild animals before any of us can rescue them. And then we have to drop them twenty minutes away at the overcrowded shelter or come up with money for vet bills so we can make sure they are not carrying anything that can make our pets sick before we bring them into our households until we can find them permanent homes.
