I think you're a great person and you probably already had that in mind, but just in case. Good luck with the kitty.

We should set up a website to spay and neuter
Mandatory spay/neuter was just passed in Calif -
and although we already have too many laws, if we hadn't passed this one, no one would both to spay/neuter. There are SO many unwanted animals out there - often because people are too lazy, or too cheap, too uneducated about what really happens to most of these animals, (or all of the above). The mandatory spay/neuter doesn't include breeders (who will pay for a license), but helps to close down some of the backyard breeders. I once had a cat that was a beautiful purebred, confiscated from BYB who kept 100's of them in squalid, inhumane conditions.
I agree with spay/neutering, but not with mandatory spay/neuter
If this was a feral, mandatory spay/neuter would have been useless here, not to mention it is an infringement on personal rights, it gives the government too much control. However, what is needed is tougher punishment for animal cruelty, or cruelty of any kind really. This kitten thing and the ball player with the pit bulls is just sickening, all should be punished. Quite frankly, due to the outside predators, my cats do not go outside, I fear what people could do to them more than anything else. I also did rescue for more than 20 years and now raise show cats. Mandatory spay and neuter would kill off the pedigree cats and dogs that some people totally adore. Yes, there are bad breeders, but there are far more good ones. In my 18 years in the cat fancy, I have seen some bad ones, but the good ones far outweigh the bad. Don't punish everyone for what a few are doing.
