Unnamed kid (lemmy.world)

It's my [non paying] job to notice when a cat has a problem. This kitty has no lower lip.

I haven't named anyone from this litter, yet. I haven't found the right naming scheme at this point. Feel free to suggest one.

This could cause all kinds of long term health issues. It could mean he isn't a great adoption candidate.

We might be forced to keep him. Oh no. A 14th cat.

We might be forced to keep him

This sentence is the reason my spouse doesn't let me go near shelters.
I was always aiming for having enough to name them Inky, Pinky, Blinky and Clyde like the ghosts from Pac-Man.

We did really well for about 5 years. Zero fails. But then they flooded us. We took in some because they were on our wishlist. Then others came that weren't adoptable. Fully half of "our" cats are actually long term fosters that belong to a rescue or the county because they were unadoptable and we knew we could deal with them.

There was one that kept pissing in my bed. We sent him to a different rescue where that wouldn't be an issue. We got two of his sisters adopted and one still lives here. In the next week our goal is to trap them in the bathroom and give them some flea meds.

Okay, you're going to have to explain how the other rescue doesn't have a problem with that.

It's a farm for cats with problems located about 10 miles away. They show up. They learn where home base is. Eventually they find their way through the cat door. They roam free on several acres of woods.

Not ideal but better than the alternative.
