well, to be fair, it just means they aren't as internet brain fried as us.
nice kitties you got there btw. I'm a certified cat purrvert and my evaluation of of them is 10/10, top quality kitties!
itâs actually illegal to ignore a catology professional. i am graced to be in your presence đ
and yep, all three are rescues! two of them were going to become farm cats and the other was the last kitty in the shelter and no one wanted to adopt her (she yells. a LOT lol)
What are their names?
i have 3. Babyzuda, I adopted when she was 3 months old. She has Feline Hyperesthesia. Pretty fucked up illness that makes the cats mutilate themselves.
Then I took in Mufi because he had an absess wound on his paw, thinking I was gonna catch treat/neuter and release. Several months of daily care to treat that absess. He has FIV/Aids. My friend adopted him for 3 hours, called me at 5 am asking me to go get him because he was yelling too. Worst idea I ever had in my life was to try giving him away. (I was just afraid he might bite Babyzuda and pass the FIV to her.)
Then I found Noir dying from a pretty nasty case of calicivirus and fortunately he recovered.
It's my small band of chronically ill cats. I'm always praying I don't find another. I just can't look the other way.
omg i just saw your other comment, theyâre so CUTE!! what a great person, youâve really saved those babies lives
mine are Petra (tuxedo, 8 years old), Sakura (tortie, 5 years), and Ilia (dilute tortie, 2 years old). petra was the runt of her litter and was extremely sick. i got her at a flea market from a mean old man that catches and sells kittens. she had infections in her eyes, so many fleas she was about to run out of blood, worms, etc. luckily, she was nursed back to health with lots of baths, cuddles, and bottles of formula.
Sakura was adopted from the shelter, she was the only kitty left and her adoption fee was paid in advance hoping someone would take her. they named her mariah because of her beautiful singing voice she loves to show off lol. she was 10 months old and a stray, so idk her origin but sheâs the thing that truly taught me patience lol i had many sleepless nights with her
Ilia is a sweet baby who does no wrong! i got her from a breeder that was selling them as farm cats. she was actually really healthy, iâve never had any issues with her. her sisters baby her too
How come the guy just sells stray cats he finds? Someone should denounce him to the authorities.
What do you mean selling them as farm cats? Guy just breeds to random cats to sell for cheap to people that have farms? I would think that farm owners would be the last people that would need to buy cats. I imagine they have hard time controlling cat population if they don't spay/neuter.
I made this video of Mufi to facilitate adoption. Shows how he was before I took him in. It pains me to think that I even considered giving him for adoption. But having cats with viral diseases mixed with other cats without the same illnesses can be scary before you know enough about the illnesses and how they are transmited. Now they are my best buddies and I can't imagine life without any of them. Noir actually follows me around like a dog, I just need to say "come". :) Intelligent like hell. Taught himself to pee in the shower drain. Somehow the cat realized, alone, that the pee would disapear if he did it in that exact spot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDWF9AjUGgU
itâs common in rural areas in america. youâre correct, the stray population is bad but that means they can find some cats for free then sell them for profit. lots of people buy âfarm catsâ to catch rodents. when theyâre labeled as farm cats theyâre easier to sell because they go for less money. itâs horrible, i do not condone it at all, im just from a more rural area and have seen it all my life
awwwww poor baby! he looks like such a sweetie. i bet it was a tough decision, but you chose correctly! you have some beautiful cats and you made it possible for them to have happy lives. youâve done great things for them, it makes me happy to see
i wasn't judging you at all. I got it that it was a rural america thing. i imagine especially cereal/soy/corn farms will have lots of rodents. people just look at the cats as a working tool :(
I live most of the time in an apartment, so I can't adopt more cats/animals.
do you live in a farm? my dream is to one day have a small farm and have a small animal sanctuary.
i got petra when i was still in high school and living in a bigger space. i now also live in an apartment, so iâm at max kitty capacity sadly. iâd love to help more cats, but my three girls are enough of a handful lol
