Years ago there was a stray that kept hanging around house. i was going out of country for a few months so I called one of the rescue groups. They wanted me to feed it! I said was leaving country and could/would not do so. No attempt from them to come out, gave no time frame. I think they intended for me to foster. Is sad...
@mutton: Of course they wanted you to feed the cat and foster it.  Rescues' job is not to come and get every animal out there, we can't afford it nor do we have the time  since most people in Rescue are all volunteers who usually have full time jobs  and or families to tend to.  They Rescue out of the love and passion for animals.  We expect the public to give us a hand when they find an animal but either fostering or helping with boarding and vetting.  It takes a village.
