Sometimes I'll see a stray and he/she is just free, roaming around, maybe a little hungry and cold but free.
Sometimes I wish I could fence in my 30 acres and take a bunch of them. Id make them huts and tents, let them run in the woods. Its expensive to care and feed animals.
With the economy some of the shelters that normally get donations are suffering. Especially around here.

We still have 13 of the ferals we rescued from our old town and found homes for 11. One had to be put down after we'd had her for over 2 years. We had fixed all of them, even the ones we gave away. I'd do it again in a heart beat if it meant saving a life. My rescues will never go to a shelter.
