Animal lovers come in!
I can't stop thinking about this cat I almost caught today with my cat carrier. =/
Let me start from the beginning. I live in a neighborhood with a bunch of idiots! A few of my neighbors keep feeding the outside cats, therefore every Spring we get a bunch of new litters 'cause these frigg'n idiots don't catch 'em and get them fixed. So, there is this one kitty I've noticed in the past that had lost half of it's tail (either in a fight or an accident), I felt really bad for it, but as long as it was walking and looked ok, I was content with that. ooh, for those of you who don't know, I already have 4 indoor cats of my own. Anyway, I pull up in front of my house today and there is that same cat, but this time it looks like it's paw in injured. =( He/She is not walking on it and it looks swollen. So, I run in my house and get a can of cat food and my cat carrier and try to lore the kitty into it. Well, I almost trapped him/her but, they slipped away and after that the kitty was not trusting me. =( I feel really bad 'cause I don't want this kitty to be in pain and god forbid die from an infection. I called my cousin's ex-gf who is into animal rescue to see if I can borrow her trap. I'm hoping to borrow it soon and am able to trap the kitty and get it some medical attention. I know I can't keep the kitty, but I will feel better knowing I at least got it off the street. I don't want it to be euthenized, but I know that will be better than it suffering if it can't be treated. =( Thanks for listening...
Sadly yours,
Bonnie
Re: Animal lovers come in!
That would seriously make me cry.
Poor kitty, I hope you can get him/her some help.
And grrrrrr on people who let their unaltered pets roam free. Or do anything about stopping them from reproducing, even if they are strays. I volunteer at a rescue group in the city and see every week that there are so many great cats that need homes.....just grrrrrr.

Shelby, I've been crying all day just thinking about this poor cat. =(
I don't know how you volunteer at the rescue group. I'd love to, but am such an animal lover that I'd be sad to see them living in cages and would want to take all of them home. I wish I could do more for the animals out there that don't have a home, but I'm too emotional that I think I would go home crying everyday. I know I can't save all the animals of the world, but I really just want to save this one. =/
Bonnie, I feel your pain. Your heart is really in the right place. You already do so much by giving the 4 you have a wonderful home, you shouldn't feel guilty if you can't help the stray as much as you wish you could. I hope the cat will be alright.
Shelby: you are truly awesome for working with rescues.
