IMPORTANT: WE ARE FULL
I do not check this message box regularily as I'm rarely using Facebook at all anymore. Let this be for the record - I am BEYOND full. I have about 8 cats that have come down with stomatitis...and it's going to cost a boatload to get them back to a normal state. I ask that you DO NOT send messages to this box. It is rarely checked. If you have a cat or kitten that you need help with or are forced to rehome (or looking for a temporary housing for your kitty), try the local Facebook group "Friends of Spartanburg Animals" and see if anyone on that group can help you or point you in a good direction. I'm not even taking on long term fosters at the moment either.
With this costly setback - FOOD DONATIONS ARE NEEDED (Friskies, Fancy Feast, Churros, Bisques (the ones with stomatitis seem to keep weight on better and do better overall on the Bisques mixed with fancy feast pate and some luke warm water)) All of that would be greatly appreciated as like I said, the stomatitis going around this place is unreal. (I've always heard that it's not contagious...but I beg to differ on that one.) Now I feed the groups separately - and try not to let them feed off of the plates of others that clearly do have it...and so far, no new cases.) It's not a guarantee, I know...because I really can't control sharing of water bowls. I don't have the funds to treat them all at once...so one by one, they have to go into the doctor. A couple of the are top priority. Some only seem to have a mild case of it that flares up once in a while.
I've looked into Mutian...hoping that would be an affordable option...but dang...it's more expensive than getting this treated by a professional local vet that I trust. The only benefit to that is no surgery...which I am considering for those that are too old to endure surgery or may have a heart murmur.
All of this adds to my morning and evening routines for caring for all of them...so not only is money a factor with probably $8,000 needed for stomotitis extractions/Mutian pills - time constraints are being felt too...so NO...I can not take on "just one more." I'm sorry. And if you think about trying to figure out where I live and just dumping them over my fence, as some of you have - realize that I do have cameras up EVERYWHERE now and you will be prosecuted.
I apologize if this post is sounds harsh...I don't mean to be rude...especially to those that have been there for me in the past and have donated etc. I just need to let people know because I got like a dozen messages in the last few weeks about taking on cats and kittens...people at the end of their ropes...all the while, offering no sponsorship or money to care for whatever they load onto me)...etc. I'm sorry. Even with a full, lifetime sponsorship - time wise with all these cats that need to be fed separately atm - and treating numerous stomatis cases, there's no way I can care for a single one more. I was called by God for this...but at the end of the day, I am human...and a human only has so much money, time and physical strength.
