My whole life I have never "purchased" a cat or dog, yet rarely have I, or my family growing up, been without at least one. All of my babies were either walk-ups (some tossed out on the dirt road in the woods), feral, Humane Society foster babies...we've never been able to return a foster
...and/or adoptees, or needed a "good home" for reasons unrelated to their behavior. I have never had an issue with even the most wild, injured, and/or 'originally unruly' arrival. All have shown me their sweet and loving nature. They just needed a chance.
I so very much appreciate everyone who saves a sweet furry baby, and/or gives it a lap to nap in. Thank you all!
