She should have been an indoor cat... :(

People rarely see the part of rescue where we grieve for the animals we couldn’t save—where everyone else looked away, and we were the ones who stopped, noticed, and tried. This image may be difficult for some to see, but to me, it is a reminder that she was seen, that someone cared enough to grieve her, and that someone tried to give her a chance. What breaks my heart is knowing that three years ago, I had to beg the person whose property she lived on just to let me get her spayed, and three years later, I received a call saying she was dying. Did they notice her decline months before that call? Maybe they did, maybe they didn’t. But either way, she never got the fighting chance she deserved because of excuses like, “She’s an outdoor cat,” “It’s unnatural to get them fixed,” or “Maybe she just wasn’t strong enough.” These are the kinds of attitudes rescuers encounter again and again while doing TNR. One of the hardest lessons rescue teaches you is how easy it is to become bitter when you constantly have to explain why cats cannot simply survive by hunting, why they should not be forced to reproduce litter after litter, and why basic food and medical care matter. You see cats reduced to skin and bones because they survive on whatever they can catch, often parasites and small prey, and even then they may go hungry. You watch kittens die, mothers grow exhausted from endless pregnancies, and cats barely old enough to have their adult teeth become pregnant. You see injured or attacked cats waiting for someone to finally notice them, and tomcats covered in wounds from endless fighting. Sometimes you get exhausted from trying to explain compassion and empathy to people who seem determined not to understand. Yet every single day, those moments remind us why rescue matters. Because when everyone else chooses not to see them, someone has to. And sometimes, that someone is you. --- Rainbow Bridge Cats.

Or, you'll end up the villain!!!...
You shouldn't be mean to an author, or you'll end up the villain in a story and, if the author becomes popular, many people might recognized you and know what you did.
