I mean no disrespect to anyone, but I have to get this off my chest. Forgive me to being long-winded. but once I get started it may be hard to shut up!!
When Bella left my world--I didn't want another cat for a while. Then this situation with Emmy was 'brought" to my attention. The point was made perfectly clear that she was going to be PTS is she couldn't find a home. Out of my love for cats I offered to bring her into my home. OK I'm fine with that although it hasn't been easy. Unfortunately I'm friends with another woman who is also a friend of Emmy's ex-owner.
She KNOWS how it breaks my heart to hear of a cat in trouble! She also knows how I'm grieving over Bella and the stress over Genesis and now the struggle with Emma!! Yet, 2 hours ago she had the nerve to e-mail me asking me to take another cat!! Her neighbor's son passed away and left behind an 11 year old female.
I'm dumbfounded by her attitude--An unwanted cat? Oh, Cheryl will take it!!! This isn't something that has just begun happening recently. It becomes a problem whenever anyone finds out I'm a cat lover!! If I could take every unwanted cat into my life I WOULD!! As a matter of fact I have!! All the cats I've loved and lost were unwanted by someone else!! It takes such an emotional toll on my heart because i love them so deeply!
I feel, many times, that people "try" to take advantage of me because I'm a cat lover.
I sent a harsh reply to her. "I'm not a shelter. I can't help this cat or any cat you want me to take. If his parents can't care for their son's beloved elderly cat then call Cats' Haven (a no-kill shelter) or find info on fostering" It just reached the boiling point with me. The stress of Bella and Genesis and now Emma has just caused me to explode!! I'm tired of it!!
