After listening to the other side of the story as told in stunning detail from a recently rescued feline, I realized that "human happenings" need to exist for pets as well. As you can tell from the picture, he was begging not to be sent back to his old life. Boring, is how it was described with long days with nothing to do but sleep, often forced to sleep for hours at a time (sometimes flat on his back) with only a few breaks for snacks and personal hygiene. And being turned out into the terrors of the night, forced to listen to those squawking birds and bullfrogs while the owners were safely inside. Beasts! I began to understand the dreadful conditions imposed on some of these creatures and vowed to make things better.
So, if you know any creature, furry or otherwise, in such dire conditions, don't hesitate to call 1-800-wantout.
