i used to visit to this place whenever i feel like going, be it to help the volunteers clean the litter box, wash the food plate or just to sit and play with the cats. the first visit was triggered by a heart-melting story about one of the cat, who was hit by a car and had to have 'wheels' replacing both hind legs. the other visits were simply because the love i felt after each visit. i can still remember how each and every one of them trying to get your attention, i guess deep down they hope that they can be adorable enough to touch human's heart which resulted in them having a place to go home to. everytime i miss having cats around, i'll just go visit the cattery. and with every visit i was always tempted to bring one home. but i didn't, simply because i don't think it's fair for the lovely feline to be alone at home while the master will only be back at night. not to mention other issues that might look small, but will be huge in the long run.
that was years back ...
now, the situation changed. if you can't commit yourself on volunteering you're not allowed to visit. why? a lot of so-called 'volunteers' ended up dumping their own there. with 100ish cats and few dogs around, they couldn't afford to be that generous in accepting everything. of course some special cases are still accepted. the last time i called them, they made me promise not to disclose their location to anyone who has the intention of washing their hands of their responsibility. i still couldn't believe people who has bonded with their pets could give away something close to their heart. but the last blog entry proof it all ....
