Ever been in a spot where your DYING to help but so many things could go wrong so you cant ?
One of the local wild cats (part of a litter which the people next door had but didnt care for) had a litter not long ago, about a week judging from her fat to thin time. well looked out are door a few min ago and she's huddled in the corner of the flowerbed near the house with at least 2 tiny close eyed kittens.
Its rainy here...and that bed floods over 6 inches.
But heres the thing, if I touch them she will ether run off or fight me, if she runs off she might give up on the litter if she fights that could hurt like hell shes a young mom so shes likly to bail on them.
If I leave them at least one is likely to drown, I'm sure once the water starts she'll grab one and go but this is a litter of kittens who cant stand yet, I don't think she would make it back in time for the next.
and also I have a dog and a kitten inside, wild cats carry all kinds of bad things, fleas, kitty aids you name it. I don't want to risk my pets...
so I'm on watch..if I have to step in I will, but damnit life sucks....

FA+

But you'll go broke real quick if you try to be a kitty hero. ;~;
Anyway on whatever happens.. good luck...
My mom is a vet so if u have any questions..feel free to ask. :<
GL!
I work at a vet clinic and I can't tell you how many orphaned kittens come through. I'm fostering one right now, in fact. People don't think things through. All they can think of is, "Awe, I want more kitties!" without any regard to their health, safety, or quality of life. Cats DIE giving birth, and it is much more humane to give a cat a life that isn't focused on breeding to death than to just let them go because then you have issues like kittens drowning D:
I hope animal control could maybe help? Or a nearby neighbor. SOMEONE who can take them in, feed them, and either adopt them out or get all their vaccinations and surgical procedures done themselves. I know around here there is a van called TEAM which does spays and neuters. It's not the safest method because they sedate them without checking health status, using IV catheters, or measuring their exact dose of anesthesia, BUT...they serve a very real purpose. Without them, thousands of cats would not be spayed and neutered due to cost, so it's worth it.
Anyway, sorry xD Don't mean to flood your journal, but I totally understand where you're coming from. <3
