How roommates navigate different approaches to animal rescue and boundaries

My roommate and I both love animals but she keeps bringing home strays and I want to help them too but our apartment is getting out of control and I don't know how to talk about limits without seeming heartless. We used to bond over cute animal videos and now I feel like the villain every time I suggest we can't save every animal in the neighborhood.
