Signs up, driving around, the shelter. I have 4 other animals, all fixed. I'm not an idiot. He had a collar that he managed to get out of prior to this, the break away kind. Now he has one that won't break free. I live backed up to a forest. I let my cats roam...its the humane thing to do, you don't have to agree with me, he's my cat. I didn't post this to be attacked.
