I am rescue.
Three words, three little words that have so much behind them. They mean strength, commitment, joy, but sometimes they mean fear, horror, and even sadness.
Rescue, it's what I do, it's who I am and it's why I love Diabetic Cats in Need so much, but it's not always easy. Those three words, sometimes I feel them and know I am rescue, other times I feel like a fraud, there's no way I'm making a difference, cats are still being surrendered, things aren't changing.
The cat who brought me to eventually find DCIN is gone now, but his spirit is still alive and strong and he pushes me every day to continue to rescue, even on those days when my heart hurts and I am not sure I can make a difference.
