This is exactly the way pet owners should be willing to sacrifice for their pets. I would do the same thing. I haven't had a job in years, but I would clean houses, baby sit, scrub toilets, whatever it takes to feed my cats. I would never give them up. If someone volunteered to give me assistance, yes, I would take their cat food or money. Would I expect it no. Some folks just don't understand how much cat owners are committed to their cats.Originally Posted by cococat
I am sorry for your hard times.
And this is another reason why shelters are full. When times get tough, animals are the first beings to be neglected by most of society.
My DH and I lost our jobs at one point when the companies went totally under and so big changes had to happen, we cut our own food bill by well over half, lost the cable, sold a lot of stuff, basically made drastic changes in all areas, but never once did we consider abandoning our animals, feeding them a lesser food, or neglecting their care. I understand that is not the norm.
