Supplies Donation Request Help needed - bad week and feeling down
Heartbreaking morning - Took in 3 cats for TNR this week - only to find the clinic not accepting TNR cats - they are down a surgeon so only offering 2 days this month for TNR - one was unfortunately yesterday the 10th ~ the next day is Tuesday 12/17 - so I’m praying I can re catch them Monday night - I was just there Saturday and Sunday dropping off and picking up kittens that got fixed but saw no notice of the TNR day adjustment - 😥😢- sad morning plus I’ve been feeling down as the weight of everything feels so heavy right now - I have to remember to be THANKFUL for the blessings I have : All my indoor cats & kittens are finally fixed and vaccinated- I was able to buy some food for the colony and indoor crew with the donations from this AMAZING community - I cannot thank everyone enough for your support and encouragement- because of you I am able to care for so many - I’m feeding roughly 35 cats and kittens everyday - so I go through about 15-20 cans of food a day - that is 1/2 can each cat daily - However with the harsh cold the colony requires a little more to help stay warm -so can count is up to 25 a day- so it’s about $25-30 a day just to keep bellies full - I have my shed completely insulated & the 6 heated car houses (bless everyone who got one or helped me order some ) but seeing the outside cats always makes my heart sad - I know they need extra wet food - Please consider helping us get through this very hard month by - helping me feed so many -

took forever to get back here, amazon wishlist was misbehaving for me then reddit closed and i lost your post. 3 boxes friskies on the way i believe on this Sunday. i like you supplementing with chicken and such. my indoor guys like the breast meat best and the leg meat not so much. may many blessings come to you for the work you do 😸 🙏 😸 👍

Oh my goodness, you are incredible. I have tears running down my face right now because it’s such a relief to know that they will have a supply of wet food during this cold month of December, which is always challenging financially for everyone I think.
Thank you, thank you thank you ❤️❤️♥️

That is so amazing- I feel guilty putting treats on list sometimes - when it’s hard to keep food in stock - but the cats definitely deserve a special treat too !!! My heart ❤️ is so thankful for your kindness- bless you

Thank you so much - you know how important every single boost can be !!❤️ I like you - constantly have new arrivals- that arrive like clockwork at dinner time - and because of the bitter cold here (today is 11 degrees and with wind feels like 0 ) 😢makes things especially tough…so can’t sleep unless I know the outside colony has had enough wet food for the night - I end up cooking some meat (chicken or pork) if I don’t have enough can food - to mix in with dry food - I always wish I could do MORE- but I’m just one person - it’s when I come HERE ; That I feel apart of kind - loving - family ❤️🙏♥️ I appreciate ALL you do as well - 🙏♥️

Aww beautiful that you are doing this. I have 5 rescues that I am taking care of. It is good to see someone else being a caretaker for the kitties 🐈⬛ Kudos🫶🏾

u/Emergency_Proposal63 Approved Colony Caretaker 15d ago
I know there is another person that does it in my area But I don’t think the kittens get wet food there because I seem to get several extra kitties at night But I love every single one of them, and even though the work is incredibly hard expensive and challenging, I would never stop caring for them until I’m physically unable to which hopefully is a long time from now Thank you for all you do

I call all the cats.. “kitties”. Trust me.. I know.. most definitely know, the work involved with it. I do it all alone. No help ever. Ijs
