These cats need you because they are living in small cages, they aren't getting a lot of food, and they are getting sick. These cats have been taken in and out of homes because they make a few mistakes. Sure they mess up, but if your children did the same thing the cat did, you would just bring them to a shelter to live a miserable life? No, you wouldn't. So what I am trying to say is that you should give these precious animals a chance at a good life. Dakin is not a bad place, but the cats would live better with a home, and with you as their parent. If someone wants to adopt a cat they should know what they are getting into, which is not returning the cat right after something bad happens. If you are going to adopt a cat you need to know how to nourish them, and love them with all your heart.
