Alot of you will know my story,how i ended up helping out kitties owned by an irresponsible owner, having them spayed and kittens rescued during the summertime last year, and how I ended up with her three cats, as she just abandoned them, I was happy to have the girls as they had been here for over five months in my care, and I loved them,but i did not bargain for ending up with the Boy kitty,although Toby as we have called him is a lovely looking boy, he is very timid and sadly he challenges my elderly cat and gets in bad fights with him.
He is going in on Wednesday to be neutered,but I still think there will be problems, he cannot come inside either, but we have a sheltered area on our verandah for him with cat beds and blankets,although not ideal it is far better than he had before, and he is fed regularly, de-wormed and de-flea-ed and given cuddles when he allows it.
I really have to try and find a home for him, it is just too tough financially and it is not working out with Ash who has to take priority, it simply is not fair on him, but i rang the shelters today, no luck there, and they don't hold out much hope for my chances of re-homing him because he is timid for one and of course kitten season will be here soon, the cat shelter really almost suggested i have him PTS, I cannot bear the thought of being the one responsible for doing that to a young animal who appears healthy although he does have a few health issues right now, mainly his eyes and sneezing problem which he seems to have passed onto the girls, Ella is recovering, but now Nikki is sick, I am hoping because my two have been vaccinated they will not get sick too,(I had planned to get the girls vaccinated, but finances just would not allow right now, but i still will do it as soon as i am able) I feel immensley stressed about the whole situation to be perfectly frank.
I am going to ring the SPCA in a smaller town which is a no kill one, and see if i can get on the waiting list, i will advertise him, and even look at transporting him to another town if a shelter will take Toby, I cannot have him PTS.
So folks i guess my good deed has come back and smacked me in the face, but still i don't regret it because I had to intervene simple as that, just need somewhere to get it all off my chest, thanks for listening, any advice is always appreciated.
