Holy smacks, everything in this reply hits in the right space. What I'm having difficulty with is having enough funding to start building that educational awareness and show our community that sterilization is the answer to the overpopulation problem. Unfortunately, where I am, TNR or just spaying and ...

When I moved and started working at a cat rescue out of state, I felt like I was with my people. Now, being back home in ...
