i am an animal lover. No doubt about that.
My grandmaw loved animals.
my aunt loves animals.
i love animals.


on our way out of town yesterday,
my aunt and i came across a kitten,
it was limping pretty badly,
it's tail and hind legs had horrible gashes,
basically, and i lack any nicer way to put this, the cat was rotting away.
the smell alone was awful.
but being the kind people we are,
we couldn't let it wander around suffering.
so despite how dirty this poor creature was, we picked her (as we found out) up and brought her to our vet. My aunt explained that she has 8 cats, most of which are rescues from times before and that se would pay up to $800 for treatment (as money was tight for her) the vet proceded to check the cat out and then explained that the most humane thing to do was to put her down.

It's sad that we had to be the ones to experience this tragedy.
the owners took no responsibility and let this poor cat roam around until it died.
I am so upset, but at the same time i know that cat is pain free now.
The poor baby won't suffer any more.

i just felt that i needed to stress how important it is to watch for stray animals.
i have such a weak spot for animals,
which is how we eded up with 5 dogs.
3 of which are rescue shelties.
