This is a post I've been procrastinating over for a long time.
You can scroll by and no harm, no foul.
One of the reasons I haven't been posting regularly is because my mom has been in the hospital. Though she was released Wednesday, she went right back into the ER Thursday morning. Her body is wearing out and so is her mind. This has been a massive stress for my brother and as we desperately try to keep from putting her in a nursing facility. She will be going to a rehabilitation center for physical therapy. The VA discharged her without being able to walk! I don't even want to go into detail on all that.
Yesterday I dropped Sandy off for labs because I had to be with Mom. Not much has changed in 2 weeks but because she has gained weight and acts great my admin said to continue with EIDD and see how labs look next month.
So, for now, she's still on FIP treatment.
The rescue is dead in the water. Donations are few and far between. It's another reason I can't post daily. I don't want to keep saying the same thing over and over. Nobody wants to adopt but I get daily requests to take in cats that I have to turn down. I am being responsible in knowing my limits but it's still upsetting because it reminds me that my own rescue is failing.
We are failing. No adoptions, few donations... I'm ready to call it. I'm contacting other rescues to see if they can take any of the adoptable ones. It will hurt like hell but if I don't have the resources for their care I have no choice.
I had this huge vision of what Tuxie's Legacy would be. A few acres with a big cat house. A sanctuary for them if they were unadoptable, special needs, seniors.
I can barely get enough for the basics now. I have other expenses besides food, litter, and, vet. Laundry detergent, cleaning concentrate, paper towels, and a monthly mop are part of the rescue expenses that no one thinks about.
I'm going to continue to try until the end of the year. Nothing will happen drastically over night. The cats are the priority always and whatever I do will be in their best interest.
I'm not trying to do a guilt post. I'm just being honest with the situation. The handful of people that go above and beyond to us cannot sustain us forever. I thank everyone for anything that they ever did or do. I appreciate every thought that was ever sent for us. I hate to think of the end but I have to put the needs of the cats above all else.
Thanks for reading.
