ink_in_handAll my free time got sucked up the moment this little stray showed up literally on our doorstep this afternoon.
Mostly in making sure she's fed a little bit of food at timed intervals because shocking her system is the last this I want to do. And also trying to keep the dogs from killing her, especially the one that's a hound breed. She's currently sequestered in a room, but it's not going to work long term. (guh and gah) Currently doing my best to find a safe place/home for her, and things look promising, but I'm still stressing over it all. And I'm hitting the point where my ability to social is bottoming out. So wish me spoons.
I regret that this won't be The Year after all, kinda bummed about it actually since I was doing really well, but it's for the best damn reason ever. I do hope that I can at least get a little something done for tomorrow. If not, again a bummer, but this little kitty takes priority right now.
EDIT:
Kitty is actually a year old he, and his name is now Jasper. Heslestor and I found a cat Rescue group, well they found us, and he's now in their capable hands. And they were sweet enough to name him after Hes, well one of their other user names. He's seen a vet and has been given a relatively clean bill of health, outside of the dehydration and being emaciated, considering. The eye infection is simply conjunctivitis, and is easily treatable with some antibiotic ointment. He was already neutered and declawed in the front paws, and is the friendliest and most open cat I've ever met, so I'm sure that once they get him fixed up, they'll have no problem finding a permanent home for him.
Really wish I could have kept him but it was impossible. Not only is Heslestor allergic, but the three dogs needed to be kept away, otherwise we would have had a dead cat on our hands. Especially the beagle, he was a nightmare. Even ignoring those, we just don't have the funds to take care of another animal, and I've been without a vehicle since last month with a repair bill of who knows what proportion. Not to mention Heslestor's mom is Toxic, and dancing around her would be even worse with another addition.
Sorry I didn't update sooner but, I've talked to more people the last couple of days than I have the last couple of weeks and I actually forgot I had posted here too.

I'm so glad she found your doorstep, so that she has help finding someplace safe and warm and loving. If you need help financially, for food or emergency care for her or transportation to her new home, let me know. I will totally help out--and set up a fundraising drive to get this sweetie into a forever home.

Thank you so much for your offer of help, I saw it no long after you posted it, but I was in the process of finalizing plans with the rescue organization that stepped up and was strung pretty thin at that point. So I'm sorry I left you in the dark. But I'm truly grateful for the offer, I know things haven't been easy for you either.
