We don't have anything like your population problem though. Probably because the animals (bigger animals like cougars, bears, wild dogs etc.) here keep them in check. <br />I would do the same thing though...I couldn't watch them starve if I could help it. That one cat that you said bloated...there might be people out there putting poison out for them too. I love your quote you posted. You can only do what you can do...angels could do no more.

We cannot leave food outside due to foxes and raccoons etc., and the danger of rabies (hopefully you don't have that dreaded life threatening disease in Kuwait).

We put out food several times a day so that they won't go hungry. Sometimes they come to our door and sit and wait for us to feed them. We do have someone who takes care of feeding the kitties when we travel-- but I still worry that they won't " feed them as good as we do!!" we fret over these kitties so much!!<br />VickiVicki Bosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10130335934867523461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263927360240129050.post-85463647599698465302012-08-24T19:12:43.299+03:002012-08-24T19:12:43.299+03:00I would feed them too.

Pet overpopulation is such a horrible thing that causes so much pain and suffering. Sorry to be so morbid, but I'm all too familiar with unwanted cats and dogs.<br /><br />North Carolina has the highest pet overpulation (which equals the highest "euthanasia") rate in the nation and this area in particular is horrible. Yet I can see people giving away or selling pups in the WalMart parking lot every single weekend. Dog breeding (and fighting) is big business around here.<br /><br />I'm so sorry for the little one that died. There are so many. It's a tough call, but I'd probably put food and water down for all that I could. They've already been born and at least they can find a little kindness from you. Thank you for helping them.Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02161905717646343288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263927360240129050.post-47481905542364779382012-08-24T00:50:23.913+03:002012-08-24T00:50:23.913+03:00I'm so sorry that you had this sad task to per...I'm so sorry that you had this sad task to perform, Tammy.

My heart goes out to the animals and can really make me hate humans. :( It's heartening to know that people like you won't stand by and do nothing to help.
