I am the champion of rescuing and trying to foster infant urban animals, most of which heartbreakingly die anyway, so I can empathize (with the added fillip that your animals have more economic impact on you than the stray kittens, sparrows, puppies, etc. that I was always finding in boxes on my porch).
Re Andre Norton: Oh, sad, sad. She is largely responsible for my spending a lot of my life concerned with speculative fiction. But she is very, very old, if I'm remembering correctly...a very good life with a lot of impact on a lot of people.
