Cats
An overwhelming majority of U.S. animal control agencies and shelters keep a firm grip on outdated animal damage control laws and species-inappropriate policies that result in the killing of over 71 percent of all cats—pet, stray, and feral—that enter their facilities. Virtually every feral cat that animal control traps or that enters a shelter dies. - Alley Cat Allies
Learn Your ABCs - Animal Birth Control
Every animal purchased from a breeder or a pet shop fills a home that could have taken in a dog or a cat dying for a home at a local shelter. Each year in the United States, animal shelters are forced to put to death roughly half of the estimated 8 million unwanted dogs and cats who pour into their overwhelmed facilities.
Healthy, social, loveable animals lose their lives because of simple math: too many animals and not enough homes.

This is a blog dedicated to animals; narratives and pictures of my own menagerie and from the out in the field of rescue. One of my goals is to post at least 1 animal a day from the rescues I work with, and to help them find homes. These dogs and cats, puppies and kittens, are all on the brink of euthanasia due to being strays or turned in to animal control by their own "families." I hope to bring some enlightenment to the world about the plight of animals in general, and specifically these domesticated ones.
