Well written. We are all limited to money, space and time. We do what we can and hate saying no. Don’t judge on how people help, help them instead.
🧡 Please Don’t Judge What You Don’t Understand 🐾
To those who continue to judge without truly understanding
I’ve been caring for feral colonies for over 20 years. These particular cats have been with me for the last 8 years, and I’ve shown up for them every single day. Quietly, consistently, and often completely alone. These cats were dumped, abandoned, and left behind by people who never looked back. Most are not adoptable, and the space I have is very limited.
If I took in every cat I come across, I’d be accused of hoarding and I’d lose the roof over my own head. That wouldn’t help anyone.
The truth is I’m doing the best I can with the space, time, and resources I have. I’ve needed a property for years to do this work safely and properly. But I have never had the support I truly needed. And honestly, I’m tired of being judged so harshly by people who don’t donate, don’t volunteer, and don’t lift a finger to help. If more people did their part, maybe I wouldn’t be so overwhelmed.
Where is the compassion for the people in the trenches, the ones sacrificing daily for animals no one else wants?
Yeah, I thought so. Because my well-being doesn’t matter, right?
Many seem to be so quick to say things they have no right saying.
Please don’t tell me to take in just one more. That one more could break everything I’ve worked so hard to build. I love them deeply, but I also have to protect myself and the ones already in my care and know my limits.
If you truly care, don’t judge. Help.
Donate. Foster. Volunteer. Share. Encourage.
Judgment doesn’t save lives. Compassion does.
I’m also praying for land to be donated or for the means to secure property so we can give these cats a permanent and protected space. If you can help with that link in comments
My heart is broken. Please don’t make this harder on me by saying things without helping.
