I doubt the person who did this will read it or care, but another cat was hit by a car and had to be put to rest because someone couldn't wait to let it cross the road - a road where the speed limit is low-, or purposefully turned to injure the cat. There are cats that do not have homes to live in but they ARE loved and have been to the vet! This was yet another cat who had been rescued from a dangerous, high speed area -she was spayed and was becoming friendly - she could have gotten an indoor home like many have. Someone stole that chance from her & they will never see punishment, they will also never know the pain and suffering those who cared for her felt when we had to bury her. We have a problem in Tullahoma where people think it's OK to hit an animal and not even bother to see if there's an owner, especially when it's a cat. THIS is why people need to get their cats/dogs spayed/neutered because rescuers are the ones who deal with the heart break when these animals are dumped and we do all we can for them just to lose them in one way or another. THIS is why there are less people who do rescue, the heartache is more than most people can understand or handle when we lose the rescued animals, and it's never just once, we lose a lot of them because of the amount that no one cares about and just abandon anywhere they can. People need to start using their brains and hearts and DO RIGHT by the animal(s) they have.
