As many of you know, my FIL is the most despicable human being ever to (dis)grace this earth. I feel that I need the collective Pet Talk voice to help me out with a situation.
Remember how Mama Cat brought her three babes up? Well, Rasputin has brought six or seven babies, of her own, up. FIL was b^&$%ing and complaining about how many cats there were. He said, "I wish we had some hawks and owls to kill these cats." I told him that part of responsible pet ownership is making sure they are spayed and neutered. He had the audacity to say, "Well not out here in the woods! Besides, that costs money! Do you have any money?" WE LIVE IN AN INDUSTRIAL AREA. There is a GHETTO on two sides and a very busy HIGHWAY on the others. What kind of moronic crap is he trying to pull? And no s*** taking care of your responsibilities costs money! SO DOES EVERYTHING ELSE.
In any case, I need help. So far, we have three adult cats and somewhere between 8-11 kittens (I am sure that there were a few hiding away from me.). There is one animal welfare organization here in town that does spay neuter vouchers. I can *try* and get the outside cats altered. In the mean time, there are still kittens. As it stands, right now, I am going to email the organizations and humane societies and offer them the kittens because I just do not have the means to do it myself. I am distraught and highly aggravated right now so any advice could help. Thank you so much.
UPDATED: Well, I received a very terse letter from the head of Animal Welfare Inc., let's just hope it is because she is under stress. In any case, it sounded like she was basically accusing me of trying to sap funds from her or something. SO freakin sorry for asking for help to save at *least* ELEVEN cats. I just don't have the means to do it myself (I can probably get the 3 older ones spayed and neutered). I was *JUST* asking. I was very friendly and didn't belittle or anything. I am just DESPERATE to save these kitties. They deserve so much more.
I am going to go out to trap some babies so I can clean their eyes. :(:(:(:(
UPDATED 2: Well, there were some minor misunderstandings between the AWI head and I but it's all sorted out now! I may be able to get low cost vaccinations and some spay neuter vouchers! :D Hoorah!
