My parents have always been very generous when it comes to
guests, visitors and anyone who may need a place to stay. I have a big family,
therefore we have a pretty big house (for Queens at least) and it’s open to
just about everyone and anyone. Our latest tenants being cats. My parents have
been feeding the neighborhood cats for a while and there was only so much time
until they were welcome inside. The problem is, we already have a cat (a very
disagreeable one, who fights all the strays that come through). Point of all of
this is that this has led me to do TONS of research on non-euthanizing animal
shelters in the area. To my surprise, there were very few. So I visited the one
closest to me and it turns out they don’t take strays! I’m extremely frustrated,
not with the shelters, but with humanity. I’m also very embarrassed, and guilty,
of being part of a world that just doesn’t care. I’m pretty sure animals’ lives
are meant to be enjoyed and carefree, but for some reason they cause us stress
and lots of trouble.
