Mom Carla ~
I have to post. Today is a big day for labs. It will put the rescue at poverty level financially.
Sophina has surgery a week from today. The auction is only to help cost.
I have been rescuing for over a decade. All the cats are from the streets. Some from horrible situations. Many special needs.
I have fought to find a proper solution for Joey and Johnny. The fact is that they have a communicable disease and I CAN'T, in good conscience, put them back outside.
Had I known that they would test positive for FIV I would have thought harder about taking on 2 amputees. But we all know I couldn't have taken Endora and left Lilith behind.
Yes, I set this whole situation up for myself.
When I was thinking about 501c3 status I had a barrage of positive comments and messages. "Do it! I'll support you!" That was just gaslighting. Never heard from any of those people again. "I'll help with cleaning and care!/I'll foster!" Ghosted.
I do this by myself no matter how I feel or how much I might hurt. The cats didn't ask for me but they are all in a better situation than when I found them.
Some are here just because no one wanted a "plain tabby". Really? You don't know what you're missing with them because they are the sweetest babies. Some are here because they have medical needs that most people couldn't afford. And some are here because they are feral and will probably never allow human contact. Regardless of they "whys" they are here, safe, and cared for forever.
I can't run the rescue without donations. I got tax status and didn't get that promised support but I do have a handful of amazing people that get us through each month. But please realize that $5 or $10 means just as much! I have said this over and over but I don't think anyone realizes it. With a page having over 6000 people it should be easy but it's not.
I have gone above and beyond to save lives but intake is closed. I'm tired of emails from people that just want to rehome! Or "I've been taking care of a stray but I can't anymore"! When you take on the care of a life you better have a damn better reason than that to abandon them! I have been caring for the throw away and unwanted by myself people need to do their share!
Sorry to rant but I'm tired of people constantly trying to dump on me.
Please consider a small donation. Food and litter are needed.
Vetting is needed. Something is ALWAYS needed.
Be pawsome! Do pawsome! This is the way.
