When I lived in Boston I had a colony of ferals that I fed, watered and neutered. I got 4 of them homes. And, I'm still in love with one special kitty who now lives with a good friend of mine in Boston. Her name is Buddy. Trust didn't come easy for her, but, we eventually bonded. And now, she lives a wonderful, love-filled life.
It's a tough life for all those poor babies out there---some abandoned, some just born wild. Same for packs of dogs.
I will never understand why ppl choose to an animal and then don't take care of it until it's life is over. It's a crime.
Gratefully, there are a lot ppl who take care of these poor wayward souls.
Good work!
