Melissa, I'm so sorry about the little guy. You sound like you're beside yourself. It's NOT your fault. You had the best of intentions. The lady should have taken you up on your offer. I am surprised she told you what happened. Does this woman have a cruel streak or am I just reading that into the situation? You couldn't have made them give you the kitten anyway. Those kitties were their responsibility and they failed. That's never going to be on you.
Personally, I think you are doing what you can, planning on doing shelter work and TNR. You have a good heart. Don't let what happened jade you on life and the good people around who DO care about cats. Shame on those people who did what they did. They are the ones who have to live with it, and will have to answer for it. Life does have a way of evening the score even if we don't know it when it happens. And I like that idea, even if I shouldn't. :) Wendy "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has!" ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better Heartthrob.
