Talk about the issue of abandoned dogs and cats.

Abandoned dogs and cats are adopted pets that are later cast aside. Sadly the number of abandoned companion animals is rising every year. Some animals make their way to animal shelters, but many are put to sleep as they wait for adoption. It really gets me down when I see these abandoned animals.

Some people are prejudiced, and think that these stray animals can do a lot of harm. But from the animals' perspective, they are just doing what they can to survive. They rummage through trash to find food, and look for places to warm themselves in the cold winter.

There are people who regularly feed these animals on the streets. In the winter, simply providing unfrozen water could enough to save their lives.

A few stray cats live in our apartment complex.

Do they?

Yeah. I've been providing them with food and water every day.

I see. Good for you.

They are probably cats that once had owners.

It's true. That's why it breaks my heart everytime I see these abandoned pets.
