Sobering

If you want a moment that will make you stop and think about life and death--take a walk through your local animal shelter.

You will see cats, dogs, kittens and puppies all begging for a home.  It is so heartbreaking, words cannot describe.

I was there last week looking for Bella and again today.  I saw mom cats and newborn kittens--families of kittens that are 10 or 12 weeks old.  Cats with collars.  Quiet ones.  Cats that meow for attention.  Put their paw out to touch you.  Then there are the ones who are scared and sit in the back of the cage--knowing the death that is coming.

It's a fact shelters are over crowded.  The shelter I was at today has overflow, which means that some of the cats will be destroyed to make room.

I saw some of the cats from last week, however when I go back next week--most won't be there, which to me is very sad.  How did those cats/kittens get there?  Did some owner surrender them?  Did some cat hater call the pound to come and take these cats?  The world is a hard and cruel place.  Humans made it that way.

If you think you want to have a pet in your family--be sure.  Think about it and realize that there are bills that come with animals.  VET bills and then you need food.  Make sure you have the time in the day to spend with your animal.  Don't leave it alone and then decide it wasn't for you.  If you do that then you are the worlds biggest LOSER!

Shelters need sponsors for the animals--take the time to sponsor an animal.  Give the cat or dog a chance.

**Keep safe Bella and may St. Francis bring you home.**
