Sonya - good on you for encouraging people to go to rescues, and fingers crossed your OH relents!! Raising awareness of neutering is another really important issue, and one i hope rescues will start to address.
There are rescue peeps on here who deserve a lot more thanks than me Tan. It is sad that there are so many cats in rescues, but fortunately there are soo many wonderful, caring people who devote their time to making sure they have a better life.
That would be my wish too - but until then, all we can do is help as many as we possibly can, and to do that, we need people to adopt them, it is one of the most important things rescues need to continue helping needy cats.
