I am supposed to be happy and excited about my pregnancy, but something is getting in the way. About 3 weeks ago we rescued a small, young cat from outside on our loading dock, within a couple of days she went from not letting us within 4 feet of her to rubbing all over us and calling for our attention. We have had her home with us for 2 weeks now, and she not gotten used to pooping in a litter box with a topper, and my husband is losing his patience. We knew we were going to be finding a home for her, and that it would take a bit to do that but this isn't easy if she is going to be messing in the house. I don't want to have to take her to the shelter where she will be caged all day with little human contact, when she is so loving and such a sweet heart. My mom says she'll take her, but other than the fact being my mom's house isn't even safe for humans, this house is a matchbox just waiting to be set on fire (long story, too much to tell) and she has 2 dogs and a cat already. The Pit Bull is a dummy, but it is the rat terrier I am worried about, she plays with the other cat who has no claws so when he smack at her, she doesn't get hurt. Jax (our rescue cat) is still getting used to dogs, and I know would use her claws if she felt endangered, and I am just scared that this dog would try to kill her as she tortured the family dog up until her death (the dog my mom got when I was 7 and still had up until about 2 or 3 years ago). I am just so worried, I contacted P.A.A.W.S who is a no kill fostering program and am hoping that they will find her a foster home, I will even donate $150.00 for her care.
I dont' know, I have always felt this responsibility towards animals in need and I feel that if I can't find her a safe home then I have failed her..... and then I will be scared with any future rescues. Ugh, I should be happy right now but I am down and depressed!!!!!!
