If only people would spay/neuter their dogs and cats life would be so much better for them and we wouldn't have all the heartache. If they cannot afford to do this, then they should not get a pet. With pets as with children come responsibilities and if you cannot fulfill them, don't take them

I continue to be amazed by her progress. I can't stand the idea of her in that cage for two or three more weeks. I'm torn between buying a bigger cage (hard to afford right now) and releasing her sooner, say in 3 or 4 more days. I think she might stick around. My biggest fear is that she

She might surprise you and stick around your house. Where is she getting shelter, food and most of all love? Bringing her inside might be easier than you think. She has already accepted you and learned to trust you. She might like being inside with soft furniture to sleep on and may even

I agree. Bonnie, you should stop thinking like a human (being caged is terrible) and start thinking like a cat (I feel safe and cozy in this enclosed place that is small enough for me to control). She doesn't mind the cage, really! Let her stay there and finish acclimating, or take the next
