Let me clarify a few things. I do not go out and rescue animals, kittens or cats. A neighbor left her cat to fend for itself. The cat came in my back yard and I began feeding her.
After she became pregnant and birthed the kittens in the back yard shed, I picked up her two kittens and brought them in the house because their mom was limping and appeared hurt.
I did not know much about kittens but researched the internet and started bottle feeding the girl and boy.
I did not know that they reproduce so quickly and eventually three kittens turned into eighteen.
I did not go out of my way to save them. They were in the shed and trying to survive on their own.
I called a few expert cat professionals for advice and tried to follow most of their recommendations.
The cat experts recommended the following: ask the neighborhood for help since a neighbor left the kitten, put out flyers asking for help, try to get donations to help with care cost, ask rescuers for help and advice, adoption and call different nonprofit organizations.
I thought maybe I could start a nonprofit, but those dreams and ideas were quickly squashed because that requires a commercial building location. No funds for that.
So I decided to keep and take care of them all since I started this and must see it all the way through.
After reading some very frightening info about some people, I decided against adopting them out. I know it may be selfish, but I doubt if there is anyone in this world that will love and care for my little crew better than me. I do this out of the kindness of my heart.
So don't get it twisted. I am not a rescuer. I have never collected any monetary donations for my kittens and cats from anyone.
Thank you to all the nonprofits that were able and willing to help with food, toys, neuter and spay costs. We appreciate you.
And guess what? All eighteen of my kittens and cats will get neutered and/or spayed. All eighteen will have plenty of food to eat.
So remember, just cause someone assumes something incorrectly, don't get discouraged cause just because they think it, don't make it so.
Sheron and her kitty cat crew are going to do just fine. Peace
