I posted this morning about adopting Amber, who is a wonderful feline BTW. I spent 3 hours over at the foster mom's home yesterday. We discussed our experiences with cats in our lives, her 6 cats and the 3 siblings that she humanely caught, treated and was adopting out. This woman is amazing. She went to great lengths for these kittens and the kittens mother. The mother and kittens were living on the land behind her housing complex and she kept them fed, watered and cool throughout the summer months. She captured the kittens (now 8 month old cats) and had them vaccinated and neutered/spayed before they reached puberty. She captured the mother too. Unfortunately the mother had to be PTS. There are tons of strays in our city and she makes sure that the cats around her get fed and watered. This lady works very hard for animals in her own way and even though she had 9 cats in her house total, you never would have realized it unless you had seen all of them. All of these cats were healthy and very friendly. You can tell how much she cared about them.
Her ad in the paper did ask for a monetary amount for Amber. After everything was all said and done, she refused to charge me for Amber. I am wondering if it would be overstepping the boundaries if I were to donate food, treats and litter to her. She has done so much for the animals in her neighborhood. Any advice?
