I just need ideas of how to deal with all of the sadness / stress of doing rescue work? The last week has been especially bad, and this morning just toped it off. First last week was the loss of a 15 year old cat that was just adopted a couple months ago. I feel terrible for the volunteers who adopted him. Then on Friday one of our cats had a seizure. She is doing well, but it was very stressful and I was afraid we might lose her. Then yesterday we had a cat returned who had eaten something, and we are now watching to make sure he passes it and continues to go (so far so good). Then this morning I got an e-mail that a young FeLuk positive cat we just adopted out a month ago has cancer. It looks like it is throughout her abdomen and lungs. This just makes me sick and today I just feel like giving up. What good does it do to save them & get them a home for them to die anyway? I know that may sound terrible, but it is how I feel today. I guess I am just completely heart broken. I feel to day like the triumphs are so few and far between, but the heart break is constant.
