I can so sympathise with what you are saying. A couple of weeks ago my vet called me and asked if I could take a positive cat with anemia that he believed there was hope for. I had to tell him no and I am still thinking about that poor cat. The owners were being jerks, refused to have their other cats tested, even though they go outside, and wanted to put this one down immediatly. I don't help anywhere near as many cats as you do but as you say, I wish I could rescue them all. My husband has reached his limit with seven cats and if I took another I know there would be some issues in our marrage. I guess you just have to remember what a difference you have made in the lives of the ones you have rescued. Sue
