Better safe than sorry in this case. However, there are lots of opportunities to foster pets through your local shelter or rescue group and I can think of someone whose name begins with S who might like that :)mshatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308916014310536449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733289016000331233.post-40567256485198261932012-01-24T08:35:17.960-05:002012-01-24T08:35:17.960-05:00My sister had this dilemma with a cat she rescued....My sister had this dilemma with a cat she rescued.
