Well, it's finally happened. While scooping litter for the foster's, my back went out. I'm going to need someone to step up and foster them.
I simply can not continue the bending and lifting of that much litter. The fate of my 6 fosters are going to rely on the folks who read this blog or see my links on Facebook.
My health is the reason why I stopped fostering a few yrs ago. But I continued to video and write about the cats and kittens at Gaston Animal Control.

I'm sorry. I never should have put myself in this predicament. And I hate it for the fosters. It was just supposed to be for a week or so.
And after nearly 7 months of bending & lifting, my back has had enough.

I'm in a real pickle folks. I've had these 6 foster cat's for over 7 months now. This was supposed to be a temporary situation.

I'm also having to beg here and on Facebook for donations or pledges to feed them and purchase litter for them. Let alone if another rescue can step up and take them, there are no funds for medical certs or transportation cost. And fleas were a big problem this year just like last year. As you know, flea medication is not cheap.
And all were sick when I was asked to take them in. It was expensive first for treating them for severe malnourishment, then ringworm and finally distemper.
What am I to do? What are the cats to do? Unfortunately, I've had them so long, they are now between 8 months to a year old. Well past the cuteness stage when they have the best chance of getting adopted.
All but one has been spayed/neutered. And he has a medical problem with his eyes which will make it more difficult to be adopted.

This blog was started to help give the cats & kittens jailed at Gaston Animal Control, Gastonia NC, a better chance of finding their forever homes. But I've had no time the past six months to go there, take video of them and then upload the videos to YouTube and tell their story here.
Don't get me wrong. I'm very happy the six I have were spared from dying. But winter is upon us and my own cats need their space back to stay warm and out of the cold.

Please, if you can spare a little, the donation button is to the right. If you would prefer to send a gift card, Wal Mart is the cheapest and I can get more for the money there. Email me, button to the right, and I will give you the address to send the card. If you would prefer to purchase the items, I feed them KitnKaboodle and I use Wal Marts brand of scoopable litter. There is only one Wal Mart in Lincolnton. You can purchase the items and give my name to pick up the items (Michelle Wright).
Most importantly, if you know of anyone who would love to give one of these babies a forever home, contact me. Or if anyone can take over fostering them, contact me.

And a huge THANK YOU to a few ladies who stepped up last month to help with food & litter. I pray for you because your pledges helped out greatly!
