I have a mama and two baby cats and I don’t know what to do. Nobody will take them out of county, and it would just breed if I let them back out. I’m in Brantley county GA and nobody will take them. My parents are also on my ass about it, because they don’t want more cats in the house. I’ve been posting on Facebook and calling shelters but I can’t find anyone to take it.
I got her a few weeks ago, and she was clingy with me the first day. I didn't have to chase her to put her back in her cage, and she'd sit and sleep on me all the time. Once I put a diaper on her for the first time, though, she never did that again. Now I have to basically chase her around my room to get her back in the cage, and I hate it for her and myself. I also just got hogs, and am taking care of my grandad's cows for money, so I have a little less time on my hands. This all happened after I initially got my pigeon. I feel like I have no time for her, and she hates me now, which almost makes me resent the poor thing. I've wanted a pigeon for so long, but I don't want a bird ever again. I've cried over her more days than I ever have with getting a new animal. I would feel terrible if I brought her back, and I know I shouldn't feel selfish over this, but I spent ALL of my "Birthday money" on her. Every penny. I wish I could learn to love her, but I think I'm going to stick with mammals and reptiles... oh and bugs. Should I bring her back?? I'm so torn...
Edit: I think I worded my post a little wrong. It's not that I'm afraid of not winning her trust back, it's that it's altering my life to the point I'm anxious when I'm not home, and I spend so much time outside that I don't think an inside pet that requires a lot of human connection was a good idea. I didn't consider it before, though, because I got her right before I started working outside with the other animals we have now. I wanted a dog originally, but my mom said no so I moved to another animal I had wanted for years, a pigeon. I'm not sure what she had against another dog but that's besides the point. I wish I could go back in time and never get her, and I wish I didn't feel that way but I do. I love her to death because I could never hate an animal, I just hate that my life is so stressful with her.
