When I was 5 years old I had a beautiful black and fluffy rabbit. I had two actually, but I liked this one the best. I do not really know how this happened, but I guess my rabbit got sick. It went over pretty fast, so I thought he was okey. But after some time again he got sick again... or not really sick but he got some kind of sickness because he had been sick. Hard to explain.

Of course me and my mum took him to the vet, because we wanted him to be well again. He was the most beautiful rabbit I had ever seen, he was kind, caring and simply gorgeous. He was the perfect rabbit for me. But the vet said that it was nothing she could do - and even though I loved my rabbit and knew that he could still live, we decided to put him to sleep. It was the best for him, but as the 5 year old I was I did not want to do that. I remember I said something like this: "-I'll rather live with a sick rabbit, then have no rabbit at all." But now I realise it was the best for him. He was suffering.

So with this story in mind...
When it is best for the animal to be put to sleep, I see no problem with that. When they are suffering I do not see why that should be a problem? Many animals live in animal shelters and when no one wants to have them... well sometimes it is simply better for the animal.

What I really find horrible and disgusting, is when animal-owners leave their animals outside to die, drop the off somewhere and leaves them on there own to die or something like that. That is horrible.

Well that's a tought situation and I certainly wouldn't like to be in one. You should think about it earlier but that doesn't help you right now, does it? So of course, you can't put them to sleep! I'd suggest contacting the media and telling them your story and maybe they'll make a story, which will bring you money and you can also say to people that you have to get rid of some of the cats and they can put your phone number there...or somehting like that!

Other option is to print a few posters around the city and give your number aswell...also be sure to post the cutest pictures...

Maybe you could also use email-fowarding-medium, which is great for that sort of stuff - just email info and pics to as many friends as you have and ask them to forward to as many friends they can...do the math and you'll se the number of people grows amazingly fast!

I don't know...maybe learn a few of those cats to go to neighbours house and maybe they'll want to take one or two ))

I wish you all the best and don't give up!!
