Can someone go shop and bring some food for the cats.?
I can make a transfer to your account; no cash at home.

My friends' car is in trouble.

The cats need food.
Can anyone help?

Waiting to go shopping 🫤

Still working on summary of March donations so far.
There was a good summer vibe in the last days and I
gave priority to some good outside sorting materials
and cleaning the shelter some more.
The rainy weeks have made cleaning difficult.

I woke up an hour ago with just one cat on my bed!

It was one of the sick cats, tucked in my arms, together in foetus position 😁
When she woke up she looked at me and she hugged my arm with both front legs, kneeding, purring...
Then she relaxed again and fell asleep, her head in my palm.
Hearts melting 🫠

So today I took a breath, went to the toilet and then got back into bed for another half an hour, to cuddle with this baby 😍

I told her, like many others, that I will do my best, but that it's okay if it's too hard.
It's okay to give up the fight 🥹
That we will meet again, one day.
That are souls are together forever ⛓️

I wish I could show you more of these beautiful moments, each and every day, or talk about them more.
Things are getting better though; practical things here and some trees also now 🌿

In the past years I have spent much of these last moments with animals.
Comforting them, talking to them, but my own baby was alone 🫥

I used to think I knew what a good internal fight was
but this one is quite the challenge.

I know she wants me to fight for the cats though, and I will.

Just to say to some of you who are waiting for replies and in confusion;

Let me get out of this ditch, that minefield, the dozens of highways and timelines in my brain 🫣 and get back to you.
It comes in waves and I'm not controlling much besides feeding and caring for the cats 'n kitties.

Don't worry about that.

💙

Updates :)

---------------
➡️The Fundraiser mentioned in the previous post is for receiving in JUNE ⬅️

➡️The emergency remains real now, even though over 40 people have contributed generously !

➡️There is 48 hours of food left with a long weekend right in front of us.

With Easter weekend, the shops open again next Tuesday, after closing Saturday evening.

I have quite some work digging holes for the wonderful trees gifted by a dear friend, but I will do my best to follow up on everything.

Thank you

Hello dear followers 😃

With a warm heart, sharing some good news

My brain shut down yesterday.
The day moved so fast and I went shopping, organized some things around here, moving furniture, in between checking the cats, cleaning... Later in the day I started preparing a post and I was moving files around and keeping track of my administration and then suddenly...
Nothing. I just sat there.
Well it's not the first time of course.
It's the first time I'm talking about it.

After three hours of wasting time to further try to concentrate and trying other things to manage, I went lying on my bed and woke up six hours later and I remember nothing about falling asleep.

Many of us volunteers are exhausted, mentally alone 100% of the time from all the emotional bagage.
What made us give up so many things everyone takes for granted.

I just read about another shelter's frustration and I can attest that yes, disappointment is real.

To us and to all the donors who prove daily that it's possible.
Some of them have compensated for lack of interest and care of others, but there are limits.

Today I will try again to continue what I wanted to post and share yesterday; about the ANGELS who DID help in the past weeks drop in support > less food > more sick cats > more costs
> frustration > posting frustration > some donate more, many go away and judge you for your frustration, anger etc. instead of
continuing to help.

I sure hope things will change because right now, I can not responsibly take in more cats.
Saying this because the requests start coming.
There is still a big debt to get out of this winter hole first or the whole thing comes down.

But okay; a little less talking, a little more cats now, I'm already looking forward to annoy and please some of them as I feed them while singing songs of all genres.
I also hum classical music 😆

Whataday !

I got up and did my usual thing.
Hurry to the toilet, get coffee, check the inside cats
and got on the computer for the day's reminders and
plan it all.
After about an hour, twilight arrived and I started feeding the inside and outside furry families and prepared to take the bus into town.

My friend came to help to take food and litter box sand home.
After a quick lunch I gave the cats their second meal with the wet food I just bought.

I will post some media tomorrow.
The pc is currently running important backups from the mobile also and it's taking longer than expected.
After some hours of cleaning and work on the new website in the afternoon, the cats got their third round of food today.
Three smaller doses works very well now, with breakfast and dinner with wet food >>

* More sustainable support is coming for kitty litter and food
* An urgent call for help was answered by about 30 of almost 200 donors reached to help cope with the dip in donations and consequent new debts...
* ... I forgot... 😅 Live to fight another day, going to bed
