Took a Positive Step Today. Some of the folks here who have been here for some time remember that I used to be a shelter home/foster mommy for new born orphan kittens. Well,
I resigned several years ago. I was so burnt out from no sleep. I had not been without babies/kittens for about 4 years. That is alot of kittens to handle non stop.
Well, recently I have really been missing the babies/kittens. So, today I went to the local rescue group where I volunteered before and picked up 2
adorable 3 week old kittens and brought them home.
They will be with us until they are about 9 weeks old and then they will be spayed/nuetered and adopted through the adoption center. The group is called Friends of Strays and we deal with strays only. People bring the animals to us and we do whatever is necessary to find them homes. We are a no kill shelter. I love the fact I can now say "We" when referring to them. I like being a part of this.
Anyway, the babies are so cute. I will post their pictures as soon as they get their bath. Boy are they ever dirty.
I can't believe the way I feel right now. Focusing on something other than myself and mother and our issues and caring for these 2 helpless little babies has made all the difference in the world. Better than any drug or therapy tat I know of that's for sure !! |
