Does Inyo County count? The bankruptcy courts consider it Eastern California; the highway department considers it Central CA; the Dept. of Health & Human Services says it's Southern CA?
My oldest two, 15 and 10 are one's we picked. 14 are throw aways, one's that somebody would have thrown away if we hadn't taken them. And all under 4. As a matter of fact three of them were left in a garage at 10 days with their mother and brother. I lost their mother and brother to distemper and almost them too so they stayed! They just celebrated their first birthday. The last one was a foster who refused to be put in a cage so she stayed with me. I currently have two fosters that were dumped at the local Petsmart where the rescue I work with keeps some of their cats. A house full but I am always loved!!
I got 16 out of a busy shopping center parking lot, ended up keeping 6 of those I already had 2, mickey who is about 14 and cammie she's about 9 or 10, the rest are between about a year and a few months to 2 1/2 , and I know the Loved feeling very well, I just don't care to go back to that parking lot
It took me over a year to get all of them sissy and 5 baby girls were the last ones, I found homes for 2 of the babies and kept the others, I couldn't part with them, I give rescue people alot of credit it's hard work and very emotional... I cryed everyday till I got them, went every night and feed them, it's tough to see so many that aren't Loved.
