    No matter how big your heart is, for your own well being, you have to learn how to say no. You have enough issues of your own, without being drawn in to other people's problems. You can't help or fix everybody, even tho you want to, and I know that it makes you feel bad turning people and cats away. If you had the means to help, then that would be another story. Try to remember that charity starts at home.

    Please take care Melissa. You have enough on your own plate without taking on more.

    As a VERY good friend of mine told me, "You have to learn to say, I'm sorry, but I can't."

    Awesome advice. I would notify the ASPCA and let them know what's going on.

    I wonder if this Lady scouted your car, saw the Cat Food and then decided to see if you would take care of her Cat
    That is a shame that that Poor Cat is so ill, the Poor Cat may be better off in a shelter where a Vet can at least give the Cat;s Guardian an idea of what is wrong.
    I pray that they can help that Poor Cat, but do not feel badly that you cannot Melissa

    I've learned my lesson big time. I went over to her place right after I posted this and gave the cat some kitten food and some kitten can food (fancy feast) the cat was eating. I asked her if she called any of the numbers I gave her and she said that she called the SPCA and they gave her another number to call and she called her and left a message.

    The lady did call her back and a vet appt. was scheduled last night. The lady was going to pay for her cat to get vet checked so I'm washing my hands of this. I did what I could and I'm glad someone else stepped up

    Thank you all for the advice.

    You did more than a lot of others would have so don't beat yourself up. Some
    people have a way of making others feel guilty for their problems, time to bow out and take care of your own problems.

    God bless you, Melissa. You did so much here.
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
