Goodbye My Darlings, Goodbye
Today I'm going to say goodbye to my babies at the shelter. I wish I could be taking Bathroom Kitten (i.e. Spring) home with me like I intended to be doing today. I feel so bad leaving her there, leaving all of them there. It breaks my heart to see those little angels trapped in those dirty and delapidated rooms. I walk in and they are all meowing and climbing, desperate for attention, desperate to be loved, desperate to be let out. Some of those cats might be there for the rest of their lives, and I can't take them. I would if I could, if I had the money to pay for them all. It may even be better if they were free, just let loose on the world. But that is not allowed. Were I to let those cats out they would be picked up by the pound and taken to a place far worse. They could be tortured, or if they're lucky simply killed. But home? Happy? Free? Those words are not allowed here. I wish I could take them with me.
