"...Saving just one animal won't change the world
...but, surely, the world will change for that one animal..."
Eight months ago, I would not have believed what the future held for me; but, before I shed tears for what my life has become and what I wish it could be, I think about this little guy and what the future holds for him and his family.......what if I can't get him out before our next hurricane season? My pace has become faster and more frantic because I know that in 3 weeks, another season starts and I am terrified.....terrified that this time around, I will be helping to pull more babies like him from the destruction and I am terrified that babies like this one, and mothers like his on which every rib in her pathetic little body can be counted, I am terrified that they won't have the strength to wait until we can pull them through the destruction they now call home, or worse, that they won't have the strength to survive yet another wave of destruction that, for the rest of my life, will only be one nightmare away.

If only my trapping skills were as good.....I was too late and when I began the task of trying to trap this family this past week, along side a wonderful volunteer from Colorado, Aubrey, there was no way for us to know that mama siamese had already moved her two kittens because of roofing work on the building...I was told today that she found a safe spot next door in a shed, inside a large ming vase. How was she to know that her babies would suffocate in the vase.....the man who found them was kind enough to bury the babies and now I must trap Mama so this does not happen again.
You are making a real difference in the lives of these survivors on the streets.
Trapping can be difficult due to the intelligence of these animals. They can stay one step ahead of you. The mama cat was stressed out like the rest of us and scared for her babies, so she made a mistake in choosing a hiding place. It must be very difficult for them to tell which humans mean them well and which mean them harm.
Your sensitivity to the feelings of each little soul out there shines through in your writing. Please keep up the good work. We need many more like you.
