"We have changed our minds."
To say we're angry is an understatement.
Maybe we're making this look too easy.
Maybe people aren't hearing us.
THERE ARE MORE CATS WE CAN'T HELP THAN WE CAN.
Every single day.
For every cat you see in our care, there are dozens more we turned away. Dozens more waiting. Dozens more living sick, injured, reproducing, suffering, and hoping their turn comes before it's too late.
So imagine our frustration when someone reaches out for help, asks for assistance, complains about the number of cats, complains about feeding costs, complains about not being able to find homes, worries about the population growing...
..and then wastes the opportunity they were given.
Imagine having multiple organizations willing to help you. Volunteers spending hours on calls, emails, messages, and planning. Site visits. Veterinary arrangements. Foster placements. Adoption arrangements. Holding spaces for your cats while the waiting list grows longer with other people begging for help.
Then imagine throwing all of that away at the last minute.
Do you know what that means?
It means another property didn't get that attention.
Another family didn't get those resources.
Another cat didn't get that surgery.
Another litter wasn't prevented.
Another volunteer spent hours they will never get back.
We are volunteers.
Nobody is paying us to answer your messages at midnight.
Nobody is paying us to spend our weekends trapping cats.
Nobody is paying us to miss dinner with our families, lose sleep, rearrange work schedules, or spend our evenings coordinating solutions to problems we didn't create.
The only thing we get in return is knowing we helped someone and helped their cats.
Nothing is more disrespectful than treating that time like it has no value.
And let's be very clear about something.
If your cats are sick.
If your cats are dying.
If you have repeated litters being born.
If help has been arranged and you choose not to follow through.
That is not caring about your cats.
That is putting your convenience ahead of their welfare.
It is selfish.
It is cruel.
The cats you see in our care are the lucky ones. They got the opportunity that countless others never will.
Stop taking that for granted.
Do better.
