It's another spring. You all know what that means. kittens. I have been graced with 3 abandoned kittens. They were 2 days old when I got hem. They are about a week now. Eyes are still closed. I really hate humans who let their cat get knocked up then dump the babies somewhere for a cat person to hand raise. Theses were in a box by the dumpster. At least they weren't inside the dumpster. That happens all the time. I better get to sleep. I fed them about an hour ago and they will need another feeding before morning. Why did I say yes? I need my sleep. I know why I said yes to rearing them. They need someone to do it. It's my turn. Next found litter goes to another cat lady.

Poor little things, they're lucky to find you. Yeah I hate people like that too - generally I hate people who do not treat cats (or other animals) the way they deserve to be treated. I love cats but I can't get a cat anymore since I've moved to a new place now and I share the small apartment with a relative - who's not into animals.

What a pity...
Why doesn't she like animals? You should maybe learn her to like them...

I'm not too found of humans, either.
That's one baby half-step better than drowning them, I suppose.

The vet will give them a shot for free. And if you own a cat it should be sterilized so it doesn't breed. The vet takes payments. No excuse not to do it. I still owe them a few hundred for my dogs biopsy and teeth cleaning.

Next batch has already gone to someone else. I have turned down a request already and these guys are only 2 weeks old.

You are a SAINT!
I have had to bottle feed Oliver and the "fearsome foursome" but I took them on by myself, I don't think I could be a "go to" person for that for a shelter.
Giving up those 4 kittens was like ripping a piece of my heart out, I never even CONSIDERED giving up Oliver (granted we didn't have 20 odd cats when we got him) but I knew with the time and work I'd put into him I could never give him up.
I repeat - YOU are a SAINT!

I still think you are a saint!
I do agree to fix those babies young, I know all the animals I put out are fixed, because I've fixed most of them!
Now we had a long cold winter = for Texas, and most of the U.S. did, but suspect that we will still have a big kitten crop - just maybe not too many early ones..

I'm a sucker. I really need to get my head examined. I go through this every year. Last year and the year before wasn't so bad. Maybe it was a few very cold winters killing off some of the street cats. This winter was very mild and short. I don't think it got to freezing once.It's already summer. Kitten season is starting early this year. I don't like it.
I love giving the cats away if I think the home will take good care of them. If I have to convince them to sterilize the pet, they can only get males from me. This is just in case they don't do it or wait longer than 2 months to get it done. It must be done by 5 months of age or kitty could go into heat. I don't want more kittens being born.

It's so much work. I have to get up at night to give them a bottle. I need to make one now. Hopefully because it's a late bottle, they will sleep most of the night.

Awww... That's so sweet of you
I hate people like that too, but we can't punish the whole humanity, because then you and me would also get a punishment...
I love cats, and I'm kind of happy that that kind of stuff doesn't happen so much in our country. Of course some may, but at least I haven't heard about anyone doing like that...
Happy myLotting everyone

It happens all the time here. It's illegal, but people do it anyways. The vet will euthanize kittens for free so there is no reason to just dump them to die somewhere.

Yeah... That's just so cruel ...
We can just hope for better times of humanity and therefore of animals and also cats

I get very upset when people abandon kittens, they can't fend for themselves at all. Why on earth don't they just take them to an animal rescue shelter so at least they have a chance to be cared for and adopted. At least they are safe with you hun

Shelters don't take them at 1 day old. They can't.
I hope these guys will get real homes. If not the lady who found them will let them live in her garden forever. Not perfect, but they will be cared for, neutered, fed, vaccinated and provided with some kind of shelter. I can't keep them. I have 8 already.

i understand what you mean. some people make me sick too. but the world is full of such crap, and we always end up fixing the mess they create.
but you have to understand that such people are very sick, literally mental cases. that is why they do the things they do, and most of the time is because they are stupid and they dont know any better. they are messed up by someone in society for some reason.
so, we all have to get together and try to make things better before it gets worse.

Unfortunately most people think it's only a cat or a dog or a stranger or a drunk or a homeless person, All living creatures deserve to be respected and treated with compassion.
I don't believe that people don't know better. Ask any normal 5 year old and he will tell you about what is right or wrong. They instinctively know about fairness and being nice or mean.
People who harm animals have no respect for anyone. They could just as easily harm a person if they didn't worry about going to jail.

You say that but I wonder if you would leave kittens if you found some more? You are a kind lady and I hate people that dump these helpless creatures like that; it makes me very angry actually. What you are doing is wonderful although I know it’s very hard work. Years ago, when my family and I lived in Italy we often took care of newborn kitties that the mothers had rejected. My father had a workshop in a courtyard where a lot of cats lived and we befriended most of them and fed them and kept an eye on them and their babies. I remember taking the newborns home and feeding them with special milk every few hours day and night; some used to make it and some didn’t which was sad but it was very rewarding when we could see a kitten grow and look healthy with the knowledge that we were responsible for keeping it alive. I would do it again any time! Good luck with these babies, hope you get some well deserved rest soon!

I wouldn't leave them. If I was over my limit and couldn't find someone to raise them, I would go to the vet to have them euthanized. This is not jut a theory. I have done it many times. I remember one particularly bad year when I had multiple litter to raise and they just kept coming. I had to take a dozen or more to the vet and tell countless people to do it also because I already had way to many as did all my friends.

Thankfully there are a lot of us in this world. Unfortunately there are more people who are cruel and haven't a clue that animals can suffer just like people.

That's because you are a nice person. Just keep your eyes open in life. There are way to many people out there that are not nice people.

Sometimes I don't know why people like that dare to call themselves human. If that cat owner didn't want their cat to have a litter they should have kept them indoors and gotten them fixed. Its not that hard and a lot of places offer free programs for those who can't afford to do otherwise. That kind of stuff is just inhuman.

The local vet takes payments, so getting the cat fixed isn't a big deal. If it goes out a lot, you can say it's feral and the city will fix it for free. Of course they take a chop out of the top of the ear to show it's fixed, but someone is unwilling to pay for a spay, they probably aren't going to the vet and don't care if the cats ear is slightly maimed.

It's really hard for me to say no too I get so upset I see this all the time we live in a trailer park hopefully we will be moving our mobile home out in the country this summer. It really irrates me because I see this all the time I would take them all in if I could but I have to say no because we have 5 kids a cat and 2 dogs. believe me if I could I would round them all up and take care of them. It's a big problem people dont realise if they dont want to spend the money to have them spayed or nutared then they shouldnt have them.Mine are as well as my cat is a house cat. my dogs are the type that dont go outside a lot mainly to potty and that's about it. I dont understand why people do this that just like seeing dogs tied to chain 24 hours a days. They need love too.

With all those souls in your trailer home, there is no way you can add more than you have. I hope you do get to move out into the country. It would be so nice and peaceful.

I have also loved cats my whole life. I grew up in California were almost everyone I knew sterilized their cats. If they had kittens they kept them and found homes.
