Your mum sounds like a wonderful soul. I only contribute on a much smaller scale with foster kittens in my home. You learn a lot about boundaries and behaviour when you are trying to get feral, abandoned, and relinquished kittens used to your hands and voice and home, then ready for their forever homes.

From experience, people who are kind to animals aren't always kind to humans. There's a Nat Geo series now on YouTube called 'Beastly' where you see several examples of people who've clearly been badly hurt, and can only love animals, but in doing so turn the animals into 'babies'.

Equally though, people who are unkind to humans, are almost always unkind to animals too.
