My Life Is a TOTAL Nightmare!
ARGHHH! I don't even know where to begin, but things have become psychotic here. I've taken in two moms and kittens from a colony I've been chipping away at, both moms are likely adoptable. 1st mom has 4 six week olds, 2nd has 5 nine day olds. I set up a cage for each, and then things turned crazy. Another abandoned cat (with a collar and phone #) was called by the elderly woman who was feeding her and noticed she was very pregnant. Maureen calls the # on the tag and the *&##s says to her..."Oh we don't want her"! GRRR. So another person who does rescuing, Julia calls a total stranger who had wanted a kitten, and talks her into taking the pregnant cat. She delivered 2 days later four kittens. The kittens are about 3 days old now, and mom cat is no where to be found!Mom cat got out between last night, and this morning!! Talk about idiots!:mad: :mad: All the way around (Julia included)! So mom cat is loose in the same neighborhood that I spent 4th of July weekend trapping 3 kittens and their mom. I took the kittens home, and now this poor mom has 9 kittens on her!They are close in age, and she accepted them, but I'll be bottle feeding to help her out until either another surrogate can be found, or the mom by some miracle shows up (I doubt that). :rolleyes: It gets better..I get home to a call from an old friend who thru the grapevine heard of a colony of cats and kittens. Sooo I head over there, round up one mom and her only baby and throw them into my handy instant cat carrier aka laundry bag. I found another rescuer to take her and the one. Another mom had 5-2 week olds in the back of a pickup truck. I fed her and while she was eating I checked the kittens over and found 2 have no eyes! :( I couldn't risk her up and moving them so I trapped mom and picked the babies up. Poor Spencer(the dog) had to be evicted from his kennel in the kitchen as I'm totally out of space, and scrounging for more foster homes! I stopped by the vets office on my way home, and had a vet look at the 2 kittens w/eye problems and they recommended killing them. No way..not after seeing how well our special Magoo has done. And knowing that killing a kitten that size is not a nice death. :( I won't get into that, but I somehow found the room to squeeze in (I lost count) many more. Now there's the desperate need for foster homes that I have to find. :( I'm disgusted by this city. :mad:
if he has given you a "title"
You need to be paid! my dear! and you know that! Do not get run over by the city! He makes little money i am sure. and I guess there is no money for anyone else- but if you are going to do this UNPAID- the least he could do is strike up a freindship with the boston ARL (I'll say nothing here- he should have done that a long time ago), ALL the area shelters, and start creating foster homes - even if it means his wife does the scouting for him! You know what i mean?
