Thanks guys. I told you I would be whining!
There is this one little kitten, maybe 12 to 14 weeks old, that is really sick. He started with URI and now has pnuemonia (sp). He is orange and white, skinny, and has poo all over his back end and tail from diarrhea. He wheezes when he breathes and his nose just constantly runs. He tries to be a typical kitten and find something to do in his cage. He would grab me everytime I went by. He touched my heart deeply. I wonder if he will make it.
There was this beautiful long haired white cat that had been dumped there. He is very old and sick. He won't eat and he really doesn't care what you do to him. They said they would probably have to put him down. For the first time in my life I asked them what they were waiting for! I looked at his old, tired, sick face in that cage surrounded by so much illness and thought that I would not want to live like that either. He has no will to go on.
Then there was a whole wall lined with Siamese cats. They had belonged to a hoarder/breeder. There had been lots of inbreeding and apparently they had been kept in a bad environment. They were not so nice kitties! It was eary to walk down the hall with all those slanted bright blue eyes staring at you.
I feel like I have been in a bad bad dream. I'm sorry to pour all of this out, but I know how well you all will understand.
