    Well…I just spent the last 20 minutes watching a beautiful thing. My feral TNR’s Prettygirl & her brother Naughtyboy have been hanging in our neighbor’s yard. She isn’t living in it at the moment so it’s nice & peaceful over there. I love it when bro & sis show affection to one another. They just proceeded to give each other a washing from nose to tail & are now curled up sleeping. I truly needed it because of the pains I’m about to endure in the next several weeks. I want to Thank all my TDK family for all the support you have given me thru-out the months. Your suggestions,your humor,your help with donations for the kits,& most of all your Unconditional Love for someone they only met in cyberspace-well some I’ve met in person-{{{HUGS}}}.It seems I’m down to dead ends for all of my rescues. There’s no room anywhere for any of them. The last stop for them is really going to be their last stop. On top of it all…I’m here trying to just thank you all for being there for me when it’s really,really mattered,& I’m being interupted by the man/companion telling me if I get rid of(said)kitten then I better be gone too. So I’ve lost 3 cats in 6 mos.(one just 2 days ago),I’m looking at cold reality of the rest now having the fate I tried so hard to avoid for them,but,have lost that battle,& am living with an imbisol who only wants someone in their life to control or bully & he’s never cleaned a litterbox out,ever. And he just got thru telling me I was wrong to get on & thank you for all that you’ve done for me. I know he’s just lashing out from anger that so many will meet their dimese(sp?),but to tell me that I’m ugly inside for doing such a thing is inexcusable. I’d just like to know when I’m going to have some kind of peace from all this pain.

    Please forgive me for such rotten venting when so many of you are finally having good things happen for you in your lives. God knows,you deserve the good things.

    Susie I am so sorry for what you’re going through but maybe we can find homes for a few,BHM is willing to take one of the younger kitties to keep her Harry company,we’ve talked about a “bucket brigade” type of transportation to get one to her. I know this isn’t THE solution to the kitty problem but I know you’ll feel better knowing at least one of the last litter you caught(hopefully more) have furrever homes. It’s still going to be painful I know but we’re still here with you Susie. I’m so sorry about that schmuck you live with,he’ll get his(kharma and all).

    Susie..we are your friends, vent away, we listen(read)and over advice or (virtual)hugs or prayers. What you have done for the ferals in your area is truly amazing and you have all my admiration and respect. A friend of mine once told me “If you take care of others, then God will take care of you.” I believe that very much. Some day you will walk across the Rainbow Bridge and you will be greeted joyfully by all the ones you have helped.

    God Bless you,

    As I said once before, Susie, at least you will provide them with peaceful passings, and that’s not a small thing.

    Have you thought of contacting a local newspaper and telling them your story? People who abandon and abuse animals get lots of coverage; someone who has tried so hard to save so many should get some attention, too. Maybe a bit of publicity will bring out adopters for some of the cats.

    Dearest Susie, I wish that there was something that I could do from all of these miles away. But, as I told you when Bootie passed, you have a star in heaven with your name on it. We can’t help with the day to day trials but I do hope that, in some small measure, knowing how much we all love you will count for something.

    Keep up the good fight. There are so few in this world who are willing to do that.

    Most fondly,

    Betty

    Susie, I am totally willing to take one of the babies. All we have to do is get people willing to help drive it to TX. So if anyone is willing to help with that let us know. I can also meet someone in NM if need be.

    I’m sorry it has come to this, Susie. I know this is the last thing you wanted to do. You have done everything in your power to save the lives of the ferals in your area and keep them from multiplying. I respect your efforts to do so. Please don’t think of this as a failure on your part in any way. You have not let your kits down. You have given them good quality of life and, most importantly, the experience of being loved. You have made a huge difference. That is the definition of success in my book! {{{hugs}}}

    Thanks you guys…All of you,including you sis, have helped just lentting me vent about it. Buttercup,I’d like to borrow that word of yours,schmuck. You’ve described him to a tee in one word. And I also have told him that Bad Karma will get him.

    BHM…I think your offer is quite daring. These newbies are very feral yet,even if I can gentlt handle 3 of them. The 4th went back into recluse mode after I had to move them to another room. He hasn’t cooperated since. I’m not sure a long trip like that with such a young kit wouldn’t tramatize it . You might end up with a very unwanted personality of a kitten. The 2 girls both have the potential to be little cuddlebugs.Miss Friendly is a tabby/calico-splashed. Zoom(I originally named her that because she was the first to split when I’d go out back),is a tortie with a spot of gray at the end of her tail.

    Sorry for making this so long. I just was at my wits end when all my calls today ended the same way. NO ROOM. One woman told me they were turning away 50-60 cats & kittens a day because of the overload of animals. And that they were bottle-feeding a newbie that would most likely have to be put down. There is no excuse for people who continue to not be responsible for an animal by not getting them fixed. Sorry again for the length of this. {{{HUGS}}} to all of you for your support. I love you all more than you know.

    Like I mentioned in my first post here…I did get to see a wonderful thing in watching Prettygirl & her bro wash each other & play & then they laid down & cuddled together. I guess I did do something right with them. They’re reasonably happy for living outdoors altho Prettygirl tries to get in sometimes. She’s turned into a big fluff of love.

    Susie, I have worked with ferrals extensively and have had good luck with taming them some (to where I am the only person they tolerate) As for wether they are cuddle bugs or not doesn’t matter to me all that much. Buster is not much of a cuddle bug, and when I got him he was a bundle of angry fluff that took me 3 months to gain his trust, he doesn’t like many people and hates men, but he is my baby. Any cat in my house hold is allowed to be as cuddly or standoffish as they like.
