Hi so it seems the cat drama never ends and I am totally overwelmed. I have had some sick kitties....you can see my other post.
Now it seems this one cat I see here and there is trying to get in the mix. My heart breaks bc I definitely want to help but I need to draw the line somewhere. I now have three inside and 5 outside. I am a single girl living in NY. My finances and emotional well been are tapped out. My day revolves around feeding cleaning and taking care of these cats. I rent the property I am at and I have no idea what I will do with everyone if I move. The thought of another cat really tips the scale for me.
I also have worked hard to get all my neighbors on board since these cats go in their yards too (these are back to back yards in Brooklyn). One more might put them over the edge too.
I have got a little lazy about cleaning up the food after they eat which I am sure what attracted this newcomer.
I am going back to feeding and then clean up, hopfully it will go back to where it came from. I know a lot of people feeding in my neighborhood, one lady just a block over so if it can find its way there are food sources.
I guess I feel guilty but I am at my limit. I have to care for myself too and the stress of everything has taken its toll. I almost wish I wouldnt have started, I hate to say.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
