Its a marvelous night for one. Van Morrison. Great tune. The moon has been beautiful the past three or four nights. The light of the moon is a help and a great comfort. Its an extra flashlight for me without having to hold one in my hand, or in my mouth when I am multi-tasking as I am bending down pouring food and water and trying to hold up boards, or keep the cats at bay while I am doing all of that. I recently had a donation from my vet's tech yesterday when I had to bring in my Boris for a very expensive check up due to the fact that he is 'urinating' in certain areas of my house lately, several times a day. Well, $220 later, he has had a urine sample taken, and hopefully after testing it will show signs of infection, which hopefully can be treated. Anyways, Kelly gave me several old carriers from her house, and I distributed them around this morning. These will hopefully be of some comfort to these stressed out, homeless stray cats I care for. I need more of them though, including large flat boards to lay against structures to keep the wind and snow out. As I looked around at all the cats I feed at each spot, I always feel a sense of satisfaction knowing I've fed their hungry bellies. Some people though, would disagree. They feel I am only adding to the proliferating population. I feel guilty about that sometimes, but what I do know is that I don't have the means to get them all fixed. Number one, its hard to get appointments for neutering at low-cost, and number two, I just don't have the time to do it. I have a full-time and a half job, and nearly full-time job when I get home. So whats the alternative. Nothing for now, I need to keep feeding and caring and rescuing and doing whatever I can for these homeless strays. Won't you consider one?
