Hi everyone,
I am currently unemployed and looking for work for 1 1/2 years. I started with one stray cat that I was scared to bring home. Why?? I have 3 dogs and a husband that doesn't like cats. Well, this wonderful baby just won over my husband in a matter of one week. The dogs just ignored her. Well I am up to 7 cats and I still have the 3 dogs (and the husband!) Here is the kicker. I live in a 2 bedroom condo. All animals are what I refer to as "throw aways". The are tame and just happen to be wandering the streets. I used to work for a police department for a small suburb with out an animal control department. I became that department. So any stray came to Sandy's house. Now my husband won't buy a house because he knows I will just bring home more strays! I love them all. I just recently became involved with ferals. I really only came in contact with one feral. I trapped, took to animal welfare and got his shots and had him neutered. He was so wild when he came to that they had to sedate him again. He stayed in his trap cage for 3 days. He had to they said because he was a bleeder. Finally on the 3rd day they said he could be released and that he hadn't bled in 24 hours. So I re-released him where I had be feeding him for about 3 months. The next day he was there waiting to eat at the same time I always came. The day after that there was no sign of him. That was one month ago and I have not seen him at all. I feel awful that I may have caused him more harm than good.
Nice to be here.
Sandy
