Oh boy. I still have to work on these kittens. I've been in tears and exhausted anyway, but needed to start taking some steroids again...that helps so today I am feeling better--and I'm off to torture the black kitten again today...
I spoke with the vet's office. Whoa, I was met with some hositility. See, this vet works with the program I work for, and the woman who runs it has been doing this for almost 50 years. They have a history and she irritates them, I guess.
I was told they are a clinic and the last thing they need to concern themselves with is kittens paws. I calmed down and told her to calm down.
I told her to understand that this isn't just a case of nitpicking about dirty kittens. They do a fine job; I've never gotten a litter with this stuff in their paws before. I want to HELP. I will do some fundraising; will they please think about what would make their jobs easier and enable them to continue to spay/neuter kittens, or even more kittens for the program.
They don't want money, they don't want to show kittens, like a pet store.
So, I am going to start picking them up earlier after their surgery, so they can maybe take more during the week, and bring them home with me. Sigh.
Somehow I think the long conversation WILL help; it called attention to the problem, and I will be dropping off some non clumping litter. I will go look for the brands suggested above later today, maybe tonight. I hope I can find something.
My biggest need as a foster is kitty litter. It is expensive. The cheap brands stink, literally. I just threw a whole 25 pound bag away it was so awful. Somehow in three days I got maggots in my litter trash can. And I don't have flies in my house. SO, I am thinking on how to revamp my house to clean out another room for more kittens...
I live on a fixed income, though, and I need to do some fundraising.
