There’s too much animal cruelty in this world.  Animals being brought in to it all the time that nobody wants, whether it is through breeders or people who don’t take adequate care of their pets by not getting them desexed.  It’s a shame really, as the only results are underfunded kennels doing their utmost to care for what few they can, and more often than should be, putting the animals down simply because there’s nobody to care for them.

Most kennels and pounds struggle so much they cannot really afford the time to care for newborn or sick animals. Fortunately they came up with the brilliant idea of foster parents.  Foster parents take on animals who need extra attention for a couple of weeks and nurse them back to health.  To the left here you see Poppy, she is just one foster kitty a good friend of mine, @catherineLd has the recent pleasure of looking after (and teasing us on twitter with pictures/videos of her latest family).
