      You can have all of the kittens in our neighborhood then. We just rescued 2x starving 8 week olds from a drain pipe (one died) just to find a fucking 2 week old screaming in our backyard. Luckily we found someone who can bottle feed the adorable asshole every 3 hours.

      The kitten distribution system fucking blows when you live near a feral cat colony. We already have 6 cats, of which 4 are foster fails because we’re suckers and don’t think strangers will take proper care of them. We purposefully haven’t named the new one because we can’t keep her and still provide proper veterinary care.

        feral cat colony.

        Have you looked in if your local government has a catch a release program. Where I am some of the rural areas have a process where they spay or neuter, clip the ear then release them back to the area.

      Rookie mistake right there. Gotta stop wanting it. The mysterious house hunting cat will only appear where they are least desired

          I can tell from experience that doesn’t work. Fortunately, because I’d be heartbroken if a little critter like that showed up, knowing I’d have to live on the streets from that point on as I can’t be in the same house as a cat. 😞

        I’m not allowed in the shelters because there is no way I’m walking out will less than a half of the animals there.

      I assume this is a joke but if it’s not you should absolutely find a shelter near you and go talk to them. You can hang out with the potential adoptees while you’re there
