Sorry for the lost posts not exactly sure what transpired.
But believe the problem will go away.
Had to take some time off- hurt my shoulder trying to wrestle a 55 pound wheel chair into the truck. Not a fun time. I sprained my arm in the process and typing became quite challenging.
On the kitty front- Smuggles and Secret are coming out more and more during the night and I see their heads peeking out from under the bed now when I feed them. I put my hand under the bed the other day-near Smuggles, palm flat and she was fine with it, until I went to move it- then she smacked me hard without her claws- so that is a big step in the right direction.
Mike isn’t healing yet- he has a bolt coming loose so they are watching him closely and hoping for no more movement. He is getting pretty good with non weight bearing now and I am very proud of him that he has come such a long way.
I am turning down cats and kittens on a daily basis but I am full up and even when the stories break my heart, I am telling the people I can’t help. I am having a hard time meeting the demands of the cats here money-wise and taking more in makes no cents to me. If I can’t help them as they need it- then I harm them in the end.
We understand. There is a thin line between rescuer & hoarder, and sometimes it would be real easy to cross it.
The rescue group I work with also has to turn away cats. I am sure it’s the same everywhere: too many cats in need and not enough help to give. If people would spay and neuter, there would be fewer problems, but that doesn’t help the poor cats in need now.
