Thank you so much for the supportIt sounds like you are stressed out. I’m so sorry. Care giving does take a toll on us at times. You’ve made so much progress but I know it’s hard to see when you are right in the middle of it. She has been calming some so please hang on. The thing is, once the calm is established, everything should get easier. Maybe not perfect or without rough days but we have those in life. Do try the other alternatives you mentiioned. If you ever get the medicine levels going in her, the rest should ease some. I know we all feel like turning things over to a helper sometimes. Me too. I get tired but it has gotten easier. Ups and downs some days. When it’s hard I remind myself what the alternative for the cat would be. Are they better off with or without me. Although it is possible to find an individual rescuer that could handle her, the general public might not be as great with her as you are. She knows you as her parent/family and trusts you beyond her own siblings. Can anyone else match that? It would have to be someone she found a true bond with when she met them. A few rescue groups focus on cats with health issues or special needs. Maybe you could find someone who has retired from that who is capable of what you have managed to do. You have a special touch with her. Most shelters where I live would not be willing to take her since they are over run with kitties. If you can work with her long enough to get her to a more adoptable state, you increase your chances greatly. I really do feel that it’s a matter of giving her time and stability in all you are doing. Many times with working through these things we take baby steps but .... we get there. I can assure you that I have seen similar things many times but the diligence not only worked but gave the human great happiness with a kitty who was more devoted to them than any other could be. Keep working through the current efforts and try other tempting things to get the pills in. You’re doing great! Follow through makes all the difference. Please keep us updated and we’ll be here.
