So my husband and i, well mostly me but with his approval, foster kittens. I usually find a skinny pregnant cat or a sick/skinny feral cat and take care of it. So i usually prepare a room for this cat to give birth and keep them as long as possible and try to find people for them. Now, i feel very judged by doing this. I get shocked about the amount of muslims or "muslims" who kind of disapprove of this.. they're like "why would you do this, these are animals not babies" and "that must smell bad" or making silly comments on how i have a circus or a zoo at home. I only do this because when shelters find them they seperate them from the mother at a young age so she can get sterelized or even put down while the kittens get sterelized at only 8 weeks old and put up for adoption. While in nature cats and mothers stay together untill 16 weeks at least. But no one understands why i do this. Yes i put alot of energy in them and however i spend alot of money on food for them i never ask a penny for it because i know selling animals is haram. This time i even bottlefed kittens, since the mother was missing. I actually felt ashamed if anyone would found out.. while I'm just trying to do a good deed especially since cats are praised so much in islam. I don't get it honestly.
Now, the way i feel looked at by these people is that since i am a converted girl this must be some handicap of my former kafir life. Seriously.. i feel very misunderstood honestly. My husband is moroccan and he always tries to comfort me by saying this is the moroccan mentality and not a muslim mentality but that doesn't help much though i still feel like an outcast.
So i wonder how some of you feel about this ?
