We had a realtor who rescued stray cats with a friend. She housed them in her garage until they could find better homes. If I had acres of land and lived in a more rural area, I'd love to have a sanctuary for animals, like the big cats (panthers, tigers, lions, etc), that have been abused or given up by their owners who should never have had them in the first place.
When I started I lived in the country and my landlord was an animal lover so she went easy on my hoard LOL I have since moved to the city, and although my landlord loves all my pets, I can't have any more pups so I stick to smaller critters. I just don't understand how someone can treat a family member (I view all pets, regardless of size, as family) in the ways that they do. I have an iguana I rescued that has one foot missing in the front and the other weak due to a bone disorder. They had him living in a parrot cage, he is around 4 feet long...I talked them into giving him to me and I don't plan on sending him elsewhere
