argue that trap-neuter-return programs abandon feral cats, they provide an opportunity for the cat to continue living. For instance, one Jacksonville, Florida program both “decreased cat intakes by 25 percent and decreased ‘euthanasia’ by more than 75 percent” (Robinson). In addition, trap-neuter-return programs cost less than euthanasia. One statistic is that “San Jose, Calif. … spent just $72 per cat for its TNR program, versus $233 per cat to impound and ‘euthanize’ them” (Robinson). TNR…

My sister, a girl whose kindness created hardship, attempted to save her beloved cats from the nuisance of fleas, only to bring the unwavering wrath of misused medication upon the mother. A dosage meant for a fifty pound dog was…

quickly realized many of the emotional connections that humans and their canine pets share. Prior to visiting with the dogs, I made my way around the cat shelter area. After observing the cats, it became evident that their many of their “cute” behaviors were aimed solely at attracting the attention of potential human companions. For instance, a white cat named Sirocco made a distinctive pawing motion whenever I passed her cage, as if she was beckoning me to come closer and visit with her. Yet,…

“There are about 70 million strays living in the US. Of this 70 million, only about six to eight million cats and dogs enter the nation’s 3,500 shelters every year. Nearly half of all animals that arrive in U.S. shelters are euthanized because there is a lack of space and adopters, amounting to roughly 2.7 million dead animals every year or five out of every ten dogs and seven out of every ten cats – that’s like 80,000 animals per week” (Facts about Pet Homelessness).

“Come back here Lilly!” I called from the porch. I had just watched my little kitten run outside and I had to go get her! I scanned the lawn hoping and praying she would still be out there. It hasn’t even been a minute since she had gotten out, how far could she be? I finally spot her. There was only one thing wrong, instead of running away like I would expect her to do, she was digging in the lawn! She never digs, not even in the house! Completely weirded out, I run down the stairs and go to…

Erika. Erika with the dark raven hair and the shy smile that first appears on the corner of her eyes then spreads to her mouth, who would have known she hosts’ a midnight show? Her dreams, memories, hopes, and ideas projected every night from 2am- 4am. If you follow the termites they might show you the way.
