I'm first in line to make fun of the animal rescue lady ... if she's the woman that has 20 cats in the house, can't keep up with them and the government has to come take them away. I remember a news story once where the woman had so many cats in her house (un-neutered and breeding like wild) that the entire neighborhood smelled of it. They actually ended up condemning the house!
On the other hand, people who have their heart in the right place (in other words, they genuinely have the animals' interests in mind and not just a self-centered need for affection) and start these wonderful shelters where rescued animals can have a happy, healthy home ... well, they get my admiration and respect. It's not easy work and there are a lot of obstacles to doing it well. And there is definitely a need for good animal shelters in the world, considering the number of people who get animals they can't ... or won't ... properly care for.
So if that's the kind of shelter your mom runs ... well, more power to her. I don't think that's crazy at all.
