No more cats for us

I keep seeing posts for another cat that needs adopting. I'm on all these social media pages searching for our boys. Another position I have been forced into by the monsters who took my boys.

I think I've said before, we have never adopted or gone to select a cat. All the cats we have, came to us. I consider us street cat facilitators. They continue to live their life, neutered and vaccinated. Not causing any societal problems. Not procreating, not spreading disease.  Just being a cat, with us as a home base when they want a lap to sit on or food not from a bin.

My fingers hover over the keyboard dozens of times a day - we will take this cat. Then I delete it. Sometimes I type it again, then delete again. I want to help them all. I know sensibly and financially we can't do that. It's a harsh reality.

How anyone can handle a cat, or other animal, and condemn it to a tough life of abandonment is beyond my comprehension. 

The people in the positions who are handling these animals lack compassion and empathy. They are the wrong people for the job.

It makes no sense to 'relocate' an animal that clearly has a home or carer. Then to dump that animal in another neighbourhood, or worse, is not solving anything. 

Even if they stuck to the rules it might help.

Another thing that upsets me, is that I had looked forward to taking the boys with us back to the UK. To watch them climb trees and run through the grass. Robbed of that dream too 😔 

Unbelievably, a cat just came through our gate. At a glance we thought it was monty. Fed and watered. Now snuggling up for the night.... and i said no more cats for us. What to do?

Anyway. Our weekend plans.... searching for our boys. We wont give up.
