Someone dumped 2 stray pregnant cats on me, too far along to have spaded by the time I found them in the barn. I was only able to find a home for one of the dozen gorgeous kittens because I am limited in contacts due to being a round-the-clock caretaker. Now I herd cats and buy ungodly amounts of flea meds and cat food. :-(
Thankfully my vet is very generous and is also a sucker for cats and I can do work for the vet to help take the edge off, but this has demolished my birdwatching hobby.
Every soul saved counts. Thank you very much.
