🕊️Rest Peacefully, Imara 🕊️
I try to keep my page light, but I am feeling every type of way, so I apologize in advance for the heavy nature of this post. I got a call tonight about a cat that had been hit by a car. Thank you to Kate’s Cat Rescue for not leaving her to suffer. Some feedback for the individual who hit her: Next time, the least you can do is stop, and contact someone for help. The false sense of grandiosity people have over other beings is discouraging; to maim a living, breathing being, knowing that they have nerve endings and pain receptors and felt every bit of that, and to not bat an eye, speaks volumes of the state of the world we live in. I mean this from a genuine, respectful place, and with no ill intent or malice - to the City of Cornwall: Please help. I have been doing this since moving to Cornwall five years ago, as this crisis was too significant to ignore, holding cats and kittens as they die, and bringing others back from the brink. I have spent all of my own hard-earned money from working multiple jobs, and devote every ounce of free time that I might have, trying to manage a problem that is way bigger than I am - a problem that you are vastly more equipped to handle yet seem to be turning a blind eye to - so please, I am begging you for any sort of help that you can offer; I would eagerly welcome the opportunity to collaborate to address this issue, and I am sure other local organizations would be more than happy to assist, as handling this on our own is just not going to cut it; every year things escalate.
I do not want to shut down like many rescues before me, but it is clear why that cycle persists.
I am bursting at the seams paying primarily out of pocket; any and all donations toward Imara’s care are very greatly appreciated, and can be sent to [email protected].
As always following the loss of a life, our page will remain silent for 24 hours to honour Imara.
