I know the feeling as well. Even seeing the commercials on television for the Humane Society of the US & the ASPCA with those pleading eyes get to me. My landlord has been more than generous in allowing me to first adopt Chloe then to take in the two abandoned cats. I know I'm at my limit for pet ownership but when I see those eyes I can't help but think "I'll bring you home." I, too, wish there were homes for all of them.
