"HOW COULD YOU?"

if u read this it'll seriously bring tears to your eyes

A man in Grand Rapids, Michigan took out a $7000 full page ad in the paper to present the following essay to the people of his community. It really touched my heart and I hope it will yours too.

I have a kitty cat with *terrible* potty habits - I spend a good deal of my time scrubbing urine stains out of my carpet, I've had to throw away couches, had ruined clothes. . . very frustrating!

But whenever I'm sitting in my rocker and she crawls up on my belly and nuzzles under my chin, it's all forgotten. When I come home from work and she's waiting at the door to give me a welcome home "meow", I forget all the stresses of the day. When my wife and I lay in bed at night and she silently crawls up on our pillows, protecting us from all the things that go bump in the night. . . I could never part with her.

She's as much a part of our family as any human could ever be. She's shown more unconditional love and devotion than any of the humans in our life. She's our best friend, our child, and so much more.

I could never part with her. In fact, I think I'll go snuggle with her now . . .

i know how that is. one of my cats is like that, but its sorta more on a revenge thing if you make her mad she'll pee on something that belongs to you. usally shes pissed at the hubby for something dunno what so usally its always his stuff and nothing of mine. but he knows i could never part with her, shes my bad evil kitty and i had her longer then i knew him :) in the end threw her evil ways lol shes a real sweet heart too :)

OMG. I just read this and it's so sad... I don't understand how people can do this sort of thing to animals.

I've been working to get publicity for a no-kill shelter in my state, which does the most amazing work. Check out the website www.petshaven.com.au

Incredible people. I look at my furbaby and wonder how people can go from loving an animal to just seeing it as a burden and something that's an inconvenience...

It made me cry the first time I read that. Its why I pay sooo much money to live where I live now, we had such a short notice to find a new place and where we were staying didnt allow dogs so the first place that allowed my dogs and cats we took so here we are! 45mins from my job a few towns away, but it only took two weeks of constant searching.

at work on our slow days we have a few rescues we do free grooms for to help the dogs get adopted. and i collect all the used old/new collars bowls toys ect and give em to one of our rescues. i had one short breif time where i had no animal in my life, for about a year, sometimes i'd trip on stuff in the dark and still freak out i stepped on the furry friend i didnt have

I went for years refusing to get a pet because I hate the awful feeling when they get old and leave you (as in die, but I don't like to say that ( ... )

aww yea we have a cat rescue at work, they go to the shelters and rescue cats or they are called out to hoarding cases ect. sometimes i dont like them tho personally because they do stuff as in sometimes adopting out a cat that still isn't fully over being sick, which i think is outrageous to do! exspecially if the home has other cats, but we get tons of the hoarding cats in, you always have a fave. there was this big fat tabby named roscoe everyone fell in love with him but no one would adopt him! if i didnt have two cats i woulda, but in the past three cats together wasnt a good choice. so i refrained. the day he got adopted its all everyone talked about because it was like why is this cat here? everyone loves him! i think his size was intimidating he was rather large for a tabby. then even customers would come in asking about roscoe for a bit because they loved playing with him when they came in. but you can't have every lil furry in your home. i wish i was there to see who adopted him tho.
