I grew up in a house with all sorts of different pets. My parents were very nature conscious and brought us up to be same. As children we rescued all sorts of animals/birds etc, rehabilitated them and released them back to the wild whenever possible. As adults we still do the same and have worked with quite a few wildlife organisations. My cats are my baby's first and foremost and I am not a breeder for profit, I just love baby's but practically, can't keep them all ~ however, I do insist on talking to & meeting potential homes ... as I always want to make sure that they are going to good homes - where they will be happy and their new family will be happy with them
