What is our responsibility in rescue, where does TNR end? Cid here is the last male cat we had left to fix at Final Fantasy colony. In October, he was a large, robust beefy guy. By January, he was just a shadow of himself, frail & thin. He evaded us until now, and limped under the drop trap at last.
