my neighbor has a fixed income being on ssi and she had 5 cats and 2 large dogs she always runs out of food for the animals the last week of the month how do i put it to her some o9f them have to go ? 4 of the catts are kittens only 5 weeks old and she says she is keeping all of them but she cannot afford it what do i do?
Answers:
if the animals cant eat, its abuse, whether or not she loves them.You can contact your local SPCA, or even a local non-kill shelter. If you feel that she really loves them and just can't afford to feed them, maybe you could start a pet food drive, or if you receive money from people who want to help, purchase gift cards to a local pet store. Maybe she just feels like the money is a temporary problem that will get better and cant bear the thought of giving up a pet when she knows she'll be able to afford it later. Also, If you contact the SPCA, they may help with cheap or free spaying and neutering, to keep her from having anymore unwanted pets.
PS. to anyone who said its none of her business... YES IT IS. Animal abuse is a crime, whether it is intentional or not. It is a crime to not do anything. if you knew someone was going to hurt someone else and you did nothing to stop it, you could go to jail. SAME THING! the laws apply to animals too!
Mind your own business.
Its not any of your business what she does.
Call Animal Control or whatever... thats animal abuse! Even though it isn't your business thats bad!
type her an anonymous letter about how dangerous and cruel it is to starve animals and put it in her mailbox. It'll at least get her thinking and then your relationship won't be strained
she is an animal lover and you cannot condem her for that i too would gladly look after any animal that needed my help...i have 2 dogs 2 cats and 2 parotts as well as 3 fish tanks 2 resident foxes and loads of garden birds i love them all and gladly give them all a meal,,where is your charity ????,,,,,,,,
I dont think u should do anything. Leave her be.
Cats love anti-freeze. No more problems.
I would try to put her in contact with a social worker for her own good as well as the good of the animals. I would also try to help her research low cost or free spay and neuter programs so that the pets don't multiply!
Write to her an anonymous letter notifying to her that those animals are suffering and that she should only keep what she can afford, and not be selfish by keeping so many that she cannot even feed.
Another thing you can do if it concerns you, is you can help feed those animals when they run out of food.this is probably the best thing to do because if you call animal control, they might put them to sleep if they can't find someone else to take care of them...
You can also suggest to her that since she can't afford to feed them all, she should give them away to people that can and will take care of them, by either putting them in a news paper advertisement, or asking people in a stores parking lot if they want them etc.
She is getting to be a hoarder. those kitten will have kittens. this is not a good thing to ignore. You will end up with dozens of cats and dogs. This is a serious psychological problem. You might get Her mad but it gets really bad really quickly. I had a grandma that did this same thing and they can not let any cat or dog go , and they can't afford to feed and care for them either . You will have a big stinky mess. the animal control should be advised that She's collecting cats and dog's that she can't afforded to spay or neuter, I know how quickly these people let the animals get out of control. My grandma was P O'd but she finally realized that it was bad for her health and her animals.
Call an SPCA they will come out and talk to her about it, and may even help her with getting food for the animals, shes an animal lover but if she cant afford food they shouldnt suffer... maybe even talk to her and buy some? and tell her she can see them and stuff :)
You can call an animal rescue service in your area, or you could call an animal shelter and ask if they have any food they could donate, because a lot of people will donate food but it isn't the food they serve. Like if someone donates Alpo, they only use Eukenueba ( how ever you spell it). I volunteer for animal rescue, that is how I know. I think her initial intension is good but if the animals are starving then something needs to be done. It isn't fair. And some people who answered to you telling you to mind your own business, they can kiss my azz.
maybe help her out
Why not contact your local cat rescue and see if they can help her with the cost of fixing those kittens when they're old enough, so they don't breed more?
