While at work Monday, I had a resident of Chesterfield County SC show up with 2 kittens they had found. The second I laid eyes on them, it was obvious they needed help immediately. County County implemented months ago that the local government run, open intake shelter, could not accept cats. Only under extreme circumstances like being hit by a car. This has left the resident and cats without any safe haven within the county. There is no rescue organizations, no humane societies, nothing but this one shelter.
Because of this, cruelty for cats within the county has skyrocketed. They are being dumped everywhere! Shot, poisoned, sick and injured. Left to die on the streets and properties alone. Treated like trash💔. I currently have my hands full, caring for Zayah (the kitten that was shot in the spine a couple weeks ago from the same County). 98% of the animals I foster, or end up permanently in my care, comes from this County.
I am tired, overwhelmed, and feeling a bit defeated... but how could I not help these babies? 💔💔
