Arrggg....

There are about 4 neighborhood cats in my area. My next door neighbor feeds
them and I don't mind so much. But one of them had 5 kittens. We don't need
9-10 cats around here. I let the mother care for the kittens and guessed
their age at about 2 months. I feed them and they ate the dry cat food. I
rounded them up and took them to the local Humane Society (where I adopted
one of my cats). Well they turned me away as they already had too many cats.
So I took them to the County Animal Shelter. While I'm sure (?) this was for
the best... that place did not leave me with a good feeling. Perhaps I'm
over sensitive, though. They pulled the kittens out one by one and placed
them into a wire cage. The room was about 30' x 10' and there were about 3
dogs in this same area. I know those kittens were scared to death.

I'm not so concerned about that but I just have an awful feeling that the
kittens are going to be put to sleep. I keep telling myself that it had to
be done though (which it did). But I'm hopeful as I'd think kittens are more
likely to be adopted. I just hope they have some plan like the H.S. to
domesticate the animals.

After I did all this, I saw that there were 2 more kittens in my neighbors
yard. Darn!
