Those 2 kittens led me to a colony of cats and now it's been 5 yrs. I had 15 back then many died, some never came back ,lots and lots of kittens, I was inexperienced at the beginning and took them to the shelter not knowing they would be killed, took adults not knowing that either. I did it all on my own, no help from anyone, my own pocket working 2 jobs. No donations nothing. After about 2 yrs I did neet someone from an organization that helped find homes for some but i had to pay to have them fixed and revolution and everyhting so it was still a financial burden. Then they had no space so I started paying for the spaying/neutering and I would release them back. And now I have another person who from another rescue group I work with who helps me get the socialized one's homes, adopts the kittens, sterilizies the cat. I have only 8 left 3 I haven't seen in 8 weeks they may still be around, 1 kitten this year 4 weeks old that i have to catch, still very easy to catch. I have a 1yr old silver cat that is coming around I can pet her and if only given the right amount of time and patience I guarantee she would be a house pet. She was never one before. But I'm always out there rain or shine snow or not feeding them, I have 9 with the kitten, 4 at home, .... It's a lot of work and money but all they want is love. So you keep up the great workAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14396817962559025803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242455281816988416.post-22712564991205239922010-07-21T21:23:50.745-04:002010-07-21T21:23:50.745-04:00I have to agree.

Try to take one day at a time and know that you are making a difference for the ones that show up each day. It is very frustrating. We see it here too. It's never their fault, just the fault of irresponsible owners.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06817710263282488135noreply@blogger.com
