We live on an old tobacco farm in rural NC. The 11 outdoor rescue cats are part of a group of 21 that were abandoned when some white-trash neighbors abandoned their USDA-financed house two plus years ago. My other neighbor still has three of them and the rest disappeared, died, or got run over. I never wanted so many but I have more compassion for critters than can't help themselves than for humans that won't.
