I was on my way to work this morning at 6:30 a.m. and I saw a mom cat this morning with I think 2 babies (I know I saw 1 for sure but I'm not sure if I saw 2), they were probably 8 weeks old I tried to get them to come to me but I didn't have any food or anything so they wouldn't come they just stood there and stared at me.
I may try to go out to the place I saw them this morning to see if the mom would be interested in coming to me with her babies, the only thing is I have no place to put them so I would have to take them to a local shelter where they do euthanize but they are trying not to do that much now and I'd hate for that to happen so what do I do just leave them outside? Especially now it's getting colder out at nights.
It broke my heart to see the kittens out there with their mom, I don't know even know if they will be around the same spot or not, it's a fenced in area that I can't access. The only place I used to volunteer at is getting out of cat rescuing and the other is just a TNR and she's usually booked for a few months.
I also just recently had a stray show up just 2 days ago since the weather is getting colder out, she/he knows that I always tend to put food out when it's cooler weather and I take it away in spring/summer time.
I was hoping the cat would find another place to eat but she/he came back and I of course had to feed him/her because they looked on the thin side.
The cat I call Baby ate for 15 mins. straight, I'm not kidding either it was crazy and of course Baby came back again last night for more food.
I already have vets bils and I'm going to have more vet bills coming Thursday when Ashley goes in for her peeing out of the box/crystals thing, plus the kitten we just recently rescued has to go back to the vets for more shots, and it's overwhelming with wanting to help these cats outside and I just can't due to lack of space and money.
I suppose I just needed to vent some because it's really bugging me and I feel bad for Baby as well the mom I spotted this morning but I wish I had a lot of money to help them both.
I feel really bab I think more for Baby because what if I do move, who is going to feed Baby then, will she/he just go off and eat some other place, I was really hoping the cat would do that once I stopped the feedings earlier this year but now it's cold outside Baby returned yet again.
