You know, amanda, i think my blackie would never survive out there, even if it's a managed space. we have sometimes look at blackie's lifestyle and wondered what would happen if he ever escaped and got lost out there.
he never sleeps on any cold, hard surface. he has only known soft beds or sofa all his life.....so how can he manage?
so, in this respect, I think surrendered pets may not survive out there if they're neutered and released. and, the ferals are not going to welcome a former pampered pet into their colony.

And that one McDonalds outlet may force me to take back a few (but only a few  ) of the hateful things I've said about McDonalds over the years.
Thanks again,
