I am not going to be answering my phone for awhile. I keep getting calls from people who are finding kittens and cats. When I tell them that I cannot take anymore, some of these people start getting mad at ME! As if it is my fault the cats are out there fending for themselves. This last call was about a mother cat and kittens out at the high school. Five tuxedo babies and mom that I am supposed to just stop everything and run over and scoop up and save. I told the lady that I am full up and cannot take anymore for quite awhile. I suggested she try and trap the family (my traps are still on loan) and then call around to the shelters to see if they have room. Even as I suggested it, I knew the shelters are as full as my home. But it is always worth a shot. The gal was going on and on about how unfair the situation was for the kittens, how they are starving and why don’t I do something? Why don’t I do something? Probably because I realize I am at my limit now. Taking in any more cats or kittens would be suicidal for them and for me.
It’s so easy people SPAY AND NEUTER! That’s the formula to fix this problem. Unless you are an ethical cat breeder- SPAY AND NEUTER! God it just makes me nuts how people don’t see this!
