This.

It's exhausting.

Please, be responsible.

One available cage today.

The need for help is deafening.
Regardless of holidays, staffing shortages, decreased adoptions, and financial pressures.
Now add the winter weather which will light a fire under people who should have asked for help months ago.
The calls keep coming.

And the decision of who gets help is heavier than anyone can know who hasn’t been in those shoes.

Is it the acquaintance who texted this week asking us to help a stray he’s been feeding that is very friendly.

Is it the woman with 21 strays and a disabled son, who hasn’t been able to find help in her own county even though she’s tried for a year.

Is it the client with a bottomless pit of cats that we keep helping despite his mental illness making it damned difficult TO help.

Is it the dozen Fb posts we keep getting tagged in.

Is it the woman who has 8 old, sick feral cats in her now vacant home because she has fallen ill and will not be returning.

Is it any one of the double digit emails since last week about random cats outside who need rescue immediately.

We have one cage to help today.
And tomorrow we will be facing the same decisions.
And next year.
And when we are all dead and gone other generations will be trying to solve the same problem.

Spay/Neuter.
Please.

NEW CRITTER ALERT!

Hi! I am known as Greenbelt Gus and I'm one year old! I was found all by myself on the Greenbelt when my foster Dad was going for a run. I had two sores on my paws and was emaciated. I had signs of abuse, and my foster Mom believes I was dumped.

I am neutered, up to date on my vaccines and have tested negative for FIV/Leukemia. I have also been treated for fleas & worms.

I like to be held! I know, that's a rarity, but I can't help myself. Carry me around like a baby & love me!

I am comfortable around both my foster Mom & my Dad, and I also live with cat & dog siblings! I do not prefer small children but would be happy in a house with older children that are cat-friendly!

Please stop by the Petco in Harrisburg & visit with me!

NEW CRITTER ALERT!

Hi! I'm 3-month-old Raisin! I am a spunky little dude, and I am currently at the Petco in Mechanicsburg with my sister, Fig. I am completely up to date on my shots, spayed, and have tested negative for FIV/Leukemia. I am good with other cats; I use my litter box religiously and I love kids! I love to play and snuggle with my foster Mom when I am "home." I enjoy my sister Fig, but we are not bonded. I just ask that you have another cat/kitten for me to play with when you apply for me. I am a fantastic eater as well; I get so excited for food. I was originally born in a litter of 5 kittens. I really would like to find a home for the holidays. I would make the most purrrfect present for someone who understands I am a lifetime commitment! I could live for a long time, as I am just a baby!

It is with absolute heartbreak & devastation that I have to give this update...

Our little fighter Susie has crossed the rainbow bridge.

Her dedicated and loving foster Mama found her unresponsive in her litter box when she went to feed her breakfast.

The panic and desperation in Stephanie's voice when I answered that phone call at 6:30AM is something I will NEVER forget. All I could do was keep her as calm as possible and just talk her through that dreadful drive.

Unfortunately, Susie passed on the way to Shores and was deemed a DOA. We believe it was something neurological but are awaiting some of her bloodwork that was done Monday evening.

Stephanie and I are so heartbroken over this loss, not only because she was the sweetest cat ever that deserved the world.... but at the ignorance of humans.

This poor cat was never to be left outside. She was adopted out with the promise to always be loved.

To find her outside, neglected, emaciated & missing fur on her legs is completely unacceptable.

IF YOUR CAT EVER GETS OUT - DO NOT TELL PEOPLE THAT THEY DIED.

Death is FINAL. Nobody is going to search for or wonder about a deceased cat like they're going to search for one that is alive and needing to be found.

I can only hope this story can be used to educate others and teach lessons of responsibility when it comes to owning an animal. However, I am so very disgusted and saddened that Susie was the baby who had to be this example.

Do better. Teach others. Love ALL creatures.

Susie loved to be cuddled by her foster Mama. She enjoyed long naps in her cat bed.
Her little chirps and conversations will be missed the most.

Please pray, send good wishes - whatever you believe in to Stephanie, her guardian angel. She deserves all of the praise for saving her.

And please, send your thoughts and wishes to Susie as her soul transitions and crosses over that beautiful rainbow bridge.

CRITTER OF THE WEEK!

Wednesday is a very sweet kitten who purrs instantly when she’s petted and likes being around other cats. And yes, she was named after the day she was found, which is one of the few things we know about her past. We do know that she suffered a broken pelvis, which causes her to limp, but we don't know what caused the injury. This, however, hasn’t affected her friendliness or her ability to play. Wednesday is 7 months old and is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

For more information, contact Karen at [email protected] or visit www.castawaycritters.org/adopt.
