I love all animals and wish that all be safe, well fed and happy. However, I have had a connection to cats all of my life and I believe probably every lifetime I have ever had.
However, I have recently become the “Old cat lady down the street”. Thankfully, my neighbors are understanding and tolerable of them. I feed the stray and neighborhood cats, providing not only food, but love and shelter for them to live a safe and peaceful life. I have more beds/houses than cats so they have a choice of location. FOR THOSE WHO SAY THEY SHOULD ALL BE INSIDE. I say I agree if it were feasible, but they are all neutered, healthy and happy. We live in a location where they weather may get a bit chilly a few nights of the year, but we have no snow or freezing temperatures and they have self heating pads in their houses.
I share this because even though I have always had cats around it wasn’t until a couple of years ago that the number of cats dumped and having babies in our neighborhood became overwhelming. Luckily, a wonderful woman and organization helped as we TNR over 30 cats and kittens. The smallest kittens were taken for foster and the rest became my responsibility to care and nurture. There are others in my neighborhood who have their own clowders for which they care, I am not the only one.
I am sharing this to remind each of you that animals need help. Whether cat, dog, racoon, birds, or whatever you see wounded, hungry, alone and afraid. Offer your assistance and help. If you can’t care for them take them to a shelter or call an animal care society. Give them a chance.
This is the same for humans in need. Not all are lazy and don’t want to work. Many are in circumstances that have gone beyond their ability to deal and get a new start in life. You don’t have to give them money. Get some food and water for them. Given them a blanket, something under which they can shelter.
This time we are being called upon to be the kind, loving, caring and compassionate people we are in our soul within the form. As we give to others we receive if in compassion from the Universe.
IT IS TIME TO TAKE UP THE BANNER OF HUMANITY AS CARING BEINGS. Let us make this a better world. Don’t want to pay taxes to help others, then give them a hand up yourself. We all can do something – 1 thing – to help another person or animal to live a better life and end, hunger, fear, suffering and pain.
IT IS UP TO EACH OF US.
