Re: Vent thread

I get that sometimes people can't afford vet care for their pets all the time, especially with the pandemic.

I get that the way people treat their pets varies and that some Americans probably over medicate their animals. I even get why some people still have outdoor cats. I may not like it, but I get it.

But I get "I think they belong to those people over there" when I ask neighbors where the cats hanging out in my yard, with no collars or tags, scrawny, flea and tapeworm infested, and covered in wounds, live, and then I ask the indicated neighbors and get "we call that one so and so."

"And the other?"

*shrug*

"But are they your cats?"

*shrug*

And then one shows up with a huge absess and I can't take it anymore and bring it to the vet. He had an old dirty collar with no tags for a couple days once, but he lost it fast.

At least he's fixed, but he's not chipped and I spent $200 on him for antibiotics and abscess draining and flea meds, and he still needs booster shots. And there's another one. It just healed from a nasty bite to the head a couple weeks ago.

I have to bring my indoor cat to the vet tomorrow, and I just hope there's no more vet worthy injuries in the three cats I'm responsible for (I only wanted one dammit) for awhile.

I can't keep the two strays inside; my cat hates all other animals. I think multiple people may be feeding them, but I'm tempted to get them both chipped with my contact info in case something else happens. They may be the sort that Houdini out of collars, my inside one ditches hers in a day and my roommate's can wiggle free in thirty seconds.

I don't know what to do; I don't want to take people's beloved pets to the shelter, but I wish their owners would at least keep them inside when they're injured, and get them chipped if they can't keep collars on.

Maybe I'm bitching about someone who died of COVID; it would explain why the cats went from passing through my yard every couple months and scared of me to sitting in my lap and following me around. I started feeding them in January, when I caught one eating mixed grain and mealworms in the chicken coop and realized they were starving.

IMO, I if these cats are not being properly cared for, they're not someone's beloved pet. I'd take them to a no kill shelter if possible and hope they find a good home with people who actually care about them.
