This is what it looks like for cats on the street. This is standard. Nobody deserves to live like this, not a “friendly” cat not a “feral” cat. Dusty Springfield just an hour after he was trapped and brought safely inside to start his brand new life off the streets where he belongs. He was completely stunned 🥺. I gave him time to settle and checked in on him. He is so calm and trusting despite all the trauma he’s faced. The poor boy is just covered in scabs and scars from his street life as an unneutered male. He’s also filthy, has fleas, and has crusted dirt and what looks like dried blood between his toes. He ate well and is using the litter box and seems more at ease today, already realizing he is finally safe. The relief both of us feel is immense 😭 But now is the hard part…what to do with him, how to afford care for him, how to find him a foster/forever home, where to put him in the meantime. This is where help is greatly needed. I am working on a neuter appt for him but he may need a vet visit on top of it. I’ll keep you posted. What’s needed most at this moment, besides #1 being a foster, is food and litter. I am already so far beyond capacity and I feel like I’m losing my mind but my heart will not let these guys continue suffering on the street. I just really really need help with keeping them all fed and keeping their 💩 under control. Please visit my Amazon wishlist to donate food/litter/supplies. Anything and everything helps 🙏And just a friendly reminder that bathrooms save lives. If you don’t know where to put a cat needing help, put them in your bathroom. We will need less “rescuers” when we all rescue together. We are all capable of rescuing in some way. ❤️#dustyspringfieldcat#halfwaycats #halfwaycatsareworthit #fakferals#eastharlemcats #fosteringsaveslives #catrescue #graytuxedocat #bathroomssavelives #tnr #trapneuterrescue #tomcat #dustyspringfield
If I told you a few weeks or months would mean happiness and safety for the rest of their lives would you think that’s worth it? Two beautiful babies, terrified and traumatized by the street, finding trust and realizing it’s only the good life from here on out. If this isn’t what it’s all about then what are we even doing here? 💫Lenny and Athena are both looking for foster or forever homes. ✨ Fostering saves lives, giving these guys a place to shine and grow, and making room for the many more halfway cats on the street waiting for their chance.🐾Halfway cats are worth it.❤️#halfwaycats #halfwaycatsareworthit#eastharlemcats #fosteringsaveslives #resocializationsaveslives #fakeferals #trapneuterrescue #highlysensitiveperson #highlysensitivepersonwithhighlysensitivecats #gentlecatparenting #fakeferals #bathroomssavelives #tnr #shycats
