I honestly donāt know what to do anymore? Either way I lose sleep and suffer horrible guilt. šššš
Society has truly lost its way. So many people nowadays are selfish, self obsessed, ignorant and some are just downright evil.
I read recently about a kitten that was injured and its wound was crawling with maggots and the people just threw it out of the window of a moving car like it was rubbish, not a living breathing feeling being. The amount of evil hate directed at cats is unbelievable fuelled by propaganda much the same as the lies about the brumbies etc.
From the govco culling of innocent animals to the cruelty, abuse and neglect of animals on the streets and in ā homesā. Its downright depressing.
Then the old cliche is appliedā you canāt save them all!ā Of course we canāt or all rescues would have 1000ās of animals. But knowing innocent healthy animals die unnecessarily is soul destroying.
It shouldnāt be this way. They have a right to live too.
Right now i can barely get enough regular volunteer help or ongoing financial help to support the numbers i have. If more people helped then it would be much easier and less stressful on a daily basis. But out of 8 recent volunteer applications only 2 followed through.
Of 7.5k followers on this page, less than 30 regularly donate whether its when i put out a plea for help or the $5 Friday funds or both. $5 a week ⦠less than a store bought cup of coffee. Why do you follow my page if you cant help sustain this rescue?.
There are currently 6 healthy friendly cats in our local pounds that are running out of time. I only have 3 cage spaces (due to recent adoptions and Stacey taking on Nova to foster)
The ones i leave behind will likely die ( euth)
How do i live with that? How do i choose who to rescue? How do i look at the ones i leave behind and say Iām sorry i didnāt choose you?ā
Yes, I have the space to put in more enclosures but whats the point? Its extra work that falls on me and a handful of volunteers and the financial burden is then increased for food, litter, vets, medical and maintenance.
Thankyou to people that do donate and that offer to raise funds or suggest ways, some very unique, and it all helps. But i donāt have the time to do it myself when Iām doing all the physical work too.
I donāt have answers.. (did i ever?) all i know is Iām damned if i do and damned if i donāt.. and in the meantime innocent cats and kittens will die through no fault of their ownšand most people donāt even bat an eyelidš
