I am a Cat Woman. My self-appointed mission in life is to save the feline world! To accomplish this mission, I get cats fixed. Perhaps my mission might be slightly delusional. This blog is a mishmash of wishful thinking, rants, experiences as I remember them and of course, cat stories and cat photos. I have a nonprofit now, to help keep the cats here cared for and to fix community cats. Happy Cat Club formed in 2015. Currently, we are on a mission to fix 10,000 cats.

Hi Jody,
ReplyDeleteLast year I caught an old,blind tom who was also covered in fleas,ear mites,and had one ear that had healed in the place where it had almost been torn off. As I drove him straight to the vet office, I knew I had a big decision to make for "Big Red". The workers at the plant where I caught him,said the other cats had started to pick on him,and more and more he was getting injured/sickly..and getting less and less of the food. After consulting with the vet,I decided it was time to say good bye to Big Red,and save him a slow,painful death.The vet seemed to feel I was making the right decision with this feral cat.I cried as the deed was done,but I knew in my heart I was saving him alot of pain,and starvation.I always try to think of the animals comfort,not mine. If I was blind,and deaf,and trying to make a go of it in the world,with no help from anybody,and no modern conveniences that we have for blind and deaf people...I would prefer a comfortable death than a slow,starving one.It's a very tough decision,but an animal that cannot make it's way in the world,nature deals a cruel hand.That cat may live for awhile,after spaying etc..but what about the coming winter??..that is the hardest time of year for them..the cold will claim the weak..slowly...the white female may have to be saved from that horrible pain.In your heart,you will know the right decision to make...I can't save them all,but I can lessen their misery..
