Oh my God, I dunno what to do *cries*?

Question

Well, firstly, you can read my previous question to see what my situation is.

But I don't know what to do with all these cats. My mom couldn't care less and only fusses at me when I try to talk to her about it. She doesn't want to help b/c she has other things to do. And I'm bottle feeding 4 kittens right now, about 3 weks old. And what makes me cry the most is that I'm seriously thinking of just putting these kittens outside too and just letting them starve to death. B/c it's pointless to feed them 'til they're grown up a bit so that they can just go breed some more or die also. I also just found another kitten who's a few months old. I haven't seen her for a while and just found her when I went to throw all the other kittens outside and Haven b/c my mom doesn't care anyway. So, they're just gonna keep breeding and breeding and I feel so hopeless right now. *cries* I can't do much on my own and I don't want to talk to any shelters on my own b/c I'm not very sociable. *cries* I dunno.

*cries eyes out*

But you don't get it. The only shelter around here is a stupid shelter that only kills the animals. They already don't like us b/c when my dog died a few months ago and we were looking for another, we tried 3 dogs from there and they wouldn't let us have them.They don't like us and we don't like them. They're friggin' stupid. They don't pay to vaccinate the animals or anything. The adopter has to do all that when someone goes to adopt. And I can't get my mom to call anyone or even CONSIDER looking into it. She won't even help to find a no kill shelter. It wouldn't cost her a dime! But no, she just doesn't friggin' care enough. -___-

Most of them are strays, WolfieChick, you dumbfu.ck!

Ugh! That's just it! Don't you guys read? I'M 15! What the hell am I gonna do? Call up someone and then drive myself over there? Geez. It's not that easy when your mom doesn't want to help! And Petco and PetsMart only get animals from the pound. We've tried putting other kittens up for adoption in the past and called them and asked, but they wouldn't take our kittens. All I want to do is put these cats and kittens in a no kill shelter or have them fixed for low cost or SOMETHING, but my mom won't help at all! As soon as I even MENTION anything about the cats, she yells at me for no ******** reason!!! And I don't want to bring them to a shelter b/c they'll kill them. That's kinda the whole point about caring about animals. If I wanted them dead, I'd just do it myself, then. (DUH) Geez... -___- And not to mention every time I tell my mom about a no kill shelter or low cost s/n, she makes up a stupid excuse like,"The vet's not gonna tell us anything. He won't cheat himself out of money."

Oh, and I've decided to just throw them all outside and let them have more and more kittens. If my mom doesn't care, then I guess I don't care either. Wow, there's a great role model. *sarcasm*

I'm still feeding the younger kittens, though. I couldn't let them starve if I tried. It just scared me so much last night b/c I was so frustrated and felt helpless to do anything that I was actually thinking of forgetting about them. But I guess I won't. -__-

Answer 1

So what. So you've got a few cats. Enjoy them for their entertainment. Get a laser pointer and create a stampede.

Drop some off at a local farm. Cats can survive hard times better than you.

ps: Let the cats breed. They don't stop you from breeding, do they? Cats know how to survive whether or not they have you to help them or not. You are not doing them any favors keeping them. Just let them go to a farm. Let them breed until they take over the world!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!

Answer 2

The best thing you can do with them is to talk to your local animal shelter. I know what it's like to not be sociable, but believe me, if you don't think you can keep and care for these cats indefinitely, then a shelter is the best place for them aside from a loving home. The shelters will make sure that the cats have the appropriate vaccinations, and they will take care of feeding and sterilizing (neutering and spaying to prevent more uncared-for babies) the cats. I strongly urge you to contact your local animal shelter. Your only other options are to take care of the cats yourself (which will be difficult without your mother's support), or to find homes for them yourself, which will probably be more difficult for a person who isn't very sociable than to call the shelter. My guess is that the shelter deals with this kind of thing on a regular basis, and I doubt they're going to belittle you or look down on you for turning the cats into the shelter.

Answer 3

Hi,
I work in a shelter, We understand and appreciate people like you who try to help the homeless animals,You are truley too streched out and burned out. You need help.Take the animals to a shelter or ASPCA.They may Vet them and ask you to foster some of them if you want until they get homes..The key is to not let them have more babies.You sound like a wonderful caring person who is at the end of the rope..Dont throw the babies out..Call the Shelter and explain.You would probably make a wonderful Shelter worker!

Answer 4

Find the nearest shelter and sign the cats over to them. If you're thinking of just leaving them outside to die you shouldn't care what happens to them at the shelter. At least them they'd go like going to sleep, rather than starving to death. Kittens have a fairly high adoption rate anyways. You don't need any cats if you consider doing things like that. (And why didn't you have your one cat fixed before she got pregnant again? If they're SOOOOO important to you that you cry over what happens to them YOU SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THEM!!!!!!) Geez. People who pretend to care until it gets tough and then whine and cry and abandon their pets almost make me more angry than the jerks who don't even care in the first place!

Ah, they are strays, makes perfect since that you don't want to take them to a shelter because they will die there, but it's okay for you to starve them to death outside your own home. And you said yourself you cared for, what was her name, Haven? and yet, now, she's a stray? QUIT CONTRADICTING YOURSELF, GIRL! If I'm a dumbf*ck, what does it make you? Besides, in my opinion, as soon as you accept to care for the stray and allow it into your home, it becomes your pet. Fifteen is older than I was when I started doing things on my own without my parent's support, you can to.

Make up your mind. You want them to live? Take care of them until they are old enough to find new homes. WHen they are, give them away with a contract that basically says "I will accept this kitten/cat for free on the agreement that I will have him/her fixed and always keep him/her an indoor cat" Then, you don't have to worry about them breeding like rabbits or being a nuisance to the neighborhood.

Answer 5

OK let me get this you don't want to take care of them so you would rather put them outside and die on their own than take them to a shelter that would put them to sleep and they wouldn't suffer..... and why not take them to be fixed if you can't afford to have them fixed put them up for adoption give them a chance or at least don't let them suffer, i am not trying to be mean but it sound like you are frustrated you need to find a shelter or a rescue group or something go some were and get some help and don't get any more cats please if their not yours then don't get burdened with them you are going to stress your self out way to much but please please if you can't take care of them then give them to some one who can or a shelter that will either give them a chance or won't let them suffer.

Answer 6

Honey,call the spca or an animal shelter in your area.Or a vet...they can help you. Don't worry none of this makes you a bad person.I think it makes you a better person. Good luck,and don't worry. The kittens, they really do understand.

Answer 7

Every neighborhood has someone who lives to take care of cats. Ask your neighbors. Check the internet for rescue groups. Put up an ad on crasigslist.

Answer 8

Then call a vet first thing in the morning and ask them if they can take them or if they can find someone who will take them. Tell them your desperate.

Don't throw the kittens out - it's cruel and heartless!

There is absolutely no reason YOU can't do this yourself.

Answer 9

well if they keep breading, you should take them to the vet and get them fixed. Then you should put up signs w/ some friends and find some one who does care and give them one, but make sure that they are responsible enough to care for a pet. put up papers w/ pictures in your local vet. And stop crying, be strong for the kitties!! :-)

Answer 10

Quit crying and get sociable. Call a "no kill" animal shelter.
