How can you justify your own want and your own need to the fact that thousands of kittens/cat are being euthanized every single day in the US due to over population?
I think it's wrong to do ANY kind of charity or kindness that will eventually cause you to resent the ones you do charity for. Many people do charity work because they WANT to and it makes them feel fulfilled. Rescuing cats IS a want and need for some people.
Not everyone's wants and needs are the same. I want to rescue cats tons of cats. I wish I could take in dozens but I think my husband would leave me if I did that to him because that is simply not the life he envisioned for us. Is that selfish of me? Is it wrong to put my marriage before saving the life of a cat? How much should I sacrifice before my needs become important?
This is something I think others often overlook. I can promise you that almost every rescuer saves cats because they WANT and because they feel it is important. Not because they feel obligated to. I think very few people do charity work out of a sense of obligation. They do good because in turn it makes them feel good to help others.
Seriously, people can sacrifice until they are bled dry. It's a kindness to respect that not everyone's limits are the same. Hope that makes sense.
Whew, I'm long winded, hope that makes sense.
