Ah, gotcha. I'll consider it, although I've grown really wary of reaching out to animal groups. They already have more than enough cats in their care for which they need to tap their resources. Why would they help me?

I'm close to contacting our local humane society again. Earlier this summer, I asked for a courtesy listing on their website, but they never returned my email, even though it (a) would have cost them nothing and (b) they know that my husband and I have gone out of our way to help the strays in our care. They've never done the first thing to help us with these cats.

The humane society is a foster program. They did not run a shelter. Foster parents bring their fostered animals to weekly adoption events where the public is invited to visit with and apply for adoption. This is how we got our two year-old cat. My proposal is to participate in the foster program with the hope of adopting her out.

But given my general lack of reception from the humane society, I've been hesitant to ask. They kind of suck, and it really upsets me that they've done so little to help me with the strays we've cared for. If they disappoint me once again, I might just go off.
