12/4/17 – I know there will be a special place in the hereafter for those who make a difference in the lives of the abandoned and abused BUT I also pray there is a special place in hell for those who abuse and neglect the most vulnerable in our society — whether they be children, our elderly, or our four-legged companions. This is Aidan and here is the e mail I received from an individual rescuer whom we’ve helped in the past.

“Hi Diana!
I desperately need your help. There was a black cat “left” on my porch tonight. I believe it’s a neutered boy and he’s in awful shape. He is malnourished and sick. We have warmed him up and gave him food and water. He is having a terrible time breathing and does this gag/choking cough thing. He’s almost done to bones. His eyes are crusty and runny as is his nose. I am positive he needs an antibiotic.
I asked my neighbors if they saw anyone dump this lil guy and they said a dark small car stopped after dinner but we were not at home and we didn’t see him when we finally got home. Just heard meowing as I was going to get the mail.
I hope and pray you can help this one too. – Karen”
