I had a little long-haired chihuahua that looked so like Bebe. Lucy loved her, and would carry her around in her mouth, then lay on the couch and treat her as her kitten. Family/friends that saw Lucy with Bella in her mouth would freak outā¦seeing a mountain lion with a little dog in her mouthā¦Bella loved the attention.
Hugs and prayers to your mum, and if I were closer, I would lend a hand, make a tincture or two, and cook some chicken soup for all. [wipe your own arse, eh?]
Bwahahahaā¦no idea what you are talking about.
Skin has colors not found in the rainbow, aches that occur in body parts you donāt even have, toenails look like alien shit, canāt trust a fart, nope, I might have to google that stuffā¦to understand, eh?

A TNR program is where I got my little Maggie. The vet tech I got her from knows of a farm that would take the disabled ferals who need more supervision than a regular colony but if a Momma cat had kittens, they found good homes for them. Sheās actually a tortoise shell with some black whiskers and black hairs dispersed in spots that make her look like she rolled in soot.
I have three others two of whom are also rescues and one is the indirect result of a rescue but thatās a long story, lol. Iāll post the pix when I find where they are on my phone or computer or, Iām not even sure where they are.

You sound like my wife and I. 75% of our cats are feral. Weāre suckers for strays. Guess somebody has got to do itā¦

Some one does, youāre right. Iāve been rescuing since I was a kid; they just seem to find me as if thereās an invisible compass pointing to my house. Usually I find homes for them since Iām in a small apartment now. Four is really too many but our Freddy we rescued about 14 years ago and my mom took him. Then when she moved to assisted living a few years ago we got him back. Several of the so called ferals I took in turned out to be terrified strays who re-socialized and went to their forever homes.

Unfortunately for our bank account we have kept almost ever one we rescued. We once had 23 cats. We are down to 12 at this time as they have aged and died. We tried very hard to stop bringing in more but still we took in 2 more in the last 2 years. Well, better than we were doingā¦lol. We could have kept the number at 23ā¦

Itās a blessing you have enough room for all of them. My apartment is tiny and the municipality where I live is really harsh about letting people exceed 4, 6 with a special licence. Theyāre intrusive about enforcement too.

I actually know you would Ozoā¦(the tinctureā¦not wipe my arse) but then if you were closer you wouldnāt actually get rid of me on your (still trying to get my head around!) 90 acres with all those critters, I will send your love my mums way, she needs it right now, she needs 2 new knees, has a broken arm and a stoma she canāt deal with 1 armed, lucky for her we all live together and my sister lives in the other half of our semi detached house, our own little family commune lol

My youngest daughter is a vet tech, in a veterinary hospital ER. Yesterday, a person brought in a kitten with itās head and front leg stuck in the remains of a broken mason jar. She said it must have been stuck like that for quite some time, since the edge of the broken glass had cut the kitten in the armpit, and had become infected as the skin was slowly growing back, over the glass.
They managed to get the left over mason jar back over the kittenās head and leg, and get him freed. The kitten is feral. She said itās glucose level was extremely low, since it probably hasnāt been able to eat in quite a while. It dove into a small bowl of food, and growled & hissed at my daughter, when she took the empty bowl away.
They will nurse it back to health and keep it there, until someone adopts it. It usually turns out to be someone at the hospital. When my daughter had to fill out the chart & paperwork, she had to come up with a name for him, and named him āMasonā.

Thatās just so awful, poor thing. Heavy on the heart to see animals suffer like this - thank God they were able to help him.

Yes, she comes home with some heartbreaking stories, with tears in her eyes, for those they were not able to save. Other days, itās a success story, about an animal they were able to save from the brink. Itās an emotional roller-coaster for her.
She tries to monitor the adopted success stories, of those that make it, and are adopted by loving people that give them a good home. Her Facebook is full of people who have adopted some of the special needs animals (lost limbs, blind, feral, etc) The hospital even has a department that helps train the new owners of adopted animals with special needs, to help prepare them.
