23. Amazing! Didn't realize that there's such a thing as a branch shelter for cats.

But many of the local shelters complain about not having enough space. Wonder why they don’t offer similar partnerships.

I’m in a rural/farm area as well. Multiple acres, fenced. Lots of stray cats. Hmmm, you’re giving me ideas. I’ve taken in many strays, sometimes a pregnant mama, staying with her through birthing and nursing period. (It’s where my medical background shines. Lol.) Then I carefully screen potential adopters who have to show ID, and proof of intent (receipts for toys and good quality food, etc.). That’s worked really well, with most families staying in touch with pics of the kittens and growth updates, etc.

But your setup is helping so many more animals. Thank you for sparking formerly unknown possibilities.
