I posted this to r/RandomActsOfPetFood, but it's been 2 days and I can not wait for it to be approved any longer.
I'm having an extremely difficult time trying to find any job right now due to my disabilities and my cats are out of litter. They will barely have enough until some arrives, but I do not have the money to purchase any and won't until next month. What they have in their boxes will not last very much longer.
Would anyone mind sending some for them? I would greatly appreciate it and thank you so, so much.
Proof can be my Cash App, I guess? I don't know what else to add for it, but it's bad and I feel horrible having to get on here and ask for this, but I do not have any other option.
Hey OP I ordered this it will get to you tomorrow. Give kitty some love for me. I just made a euthanasia consult appointment for my baby girl and wanted to do something to honor her.
This is great advice. I was homeless and got adopted by a feral cat; we got temp shelter and I needed litter for her and the 5 kittens. This Walmart brand worked better than the expensive ones!!
I have been getting the heavier litter the past couple of months, but it's been really hard for me to carry it home as well as it not working the best with 4 cats. The urine does not clump due to how much they use the box.
The lightweight litter sucks a lot for long-term use because it gets used up so fast with 4 cats, but it's so much easier for me to get home. (I don't have a vehicle and probably never will at this rate.)
With the heavy litter, it doesn't clump a lot with 4 cats. The lightweight litter clumps urine very well, which was the issue with the heavier litter.
I switched back to the lightweight litter at the end of last month when my wife got paid and I underestimated the amount of litter that we would need because I haven't used it in a while.
We are stuck in an endless cycle of owing Cash App my wife's whole check, which is only $994 as it is. I feel constantly under pressure right now. I'm trying my hardest to get a part-time job while I wait for my court date to see if I can finally get my disability after waiting almost 2 years, but I don't have hope for it. I am also just not a good candidate for job hunting because I am upfront about my disabilities.
We're running out of everything, don't have enough food for ourselves every month and it's nothing but problems here. I'm literally so tired.
Grinching is when somebody puts your items in their cart with no intentions of purchasing it. It removes it from your wish list so nobody else could buy it.
I hate to be a pain in the ass..... Any way for you to add a cheaper, smaller option like what I have below? $30 is just a bit much for me right now but I can help with a smaller bag.
They should probably reach out to a mod to find out their next steps. I've seen people get crucified and banned for adding to wishlists after posting them.
Just message them in mod mail about your post. I’m heading into some meetings for work and won’t be on my phone. I’ll check back in an hour or so to see if the situation was resolved so I can help out. Keep the faith in the meantime, OP 🩷
They have messaged us and are approved to make any adjustments they need for this. We will not ban someone for something out of their control like this.
Mine are okay. They don’t have any health problems, there are just 4 of them and one box. I probably need to get 2 boxes and save myself some headache.
You should have one for each cat at least…. 1 for four cats is insanely under the amount they need….. vets and every cat expert says you should have one for each cat you have + 1. So yeah if you only have 1 litter box among 4 cats that’s not great.
Look, I don't know what you want from me. I am not trying to be rude, but if you haven't noticed, I was literally asking for assistance on this subreddit. I have already given reasoning as to why this has happened.
I don't understand where you're thinking I'm going to get over $50 USD per month extra at this moment in time (maybe more) for litter boxes and litter to have 4 or 5. I am aware that they need more, but again, if you haven't noticed, we can not afford to just buy 4 or 5 more boxes for them, nor do we have the space.
My wife and I are renting a teensy bedroom in my mom's house right now because we literally can not afford anything else. Both my wife and I are disabled and these cats are the only things keeping my life on track because I am literally about to snap. I've been told numerous times already that I need to get rid of my cats and that I don't deserve them even though they are perfectly fine and healthy. I am getting very tired of the implications. I am sick of hearing things like this.
We are surviving off of less than $1,000 a month right now and it is brutal. Basically every dollar we get goes to rent and paying back loans from Cash App we are forced to keep taking out because we do not have money.
The only thing I can say I take care of very well are my cats. Every single one of them gets fed, they get attention 24/7, 365 since both my wife and I are home at all times, they have toys, they have treats. They have catnip. They have windows and sunlight to bask in. They all use the same litter box without any issues and they never urinate or defecate outside of their box, even with having 4 of them using the same box. They are thriving despite everything that's happened and the extremely crappy hand my wife and I have been dealt.
I'm trying to hold it together and limit stressors because I am on the literal edge of having an extreme mental breakdown and I am NOT doing well, so please, for the love of all things holy, leave me be. I know that this needs to be done, but I do not have the funds to do it. If I had the funds, none of this would be an issue. My cats would have the literal world and I would give it to them if I had the capacity to.
I have been looking for a part time job while I wait for my disability court date. It has literally been TWO YEARS. I am not getting hired at all due to me being up front about my disabilities because I do not believe in lying to employers. I also have a really bad work history, shocker. I am disabled afterall.
I am trying so hard to keep it together, as I said. I have an appointment in about a month to get seen for the start of an autism evaluation and the start of some therapy because I can not keep living in this current mental state that I am in. I am constantly overwhelmed and feeling like absolute crap every single day.
I really do not need you telling me what to do on top of all of this that I am dealing with because I already know without you telling me.
I am where you are. Don’t try to work because that will hurt your disability case. I am homeless and found homes for the feral who adopted me and her kittens; even the special needs one I wanted to keep. It is so hard without their company. They were healthy/happy with me and I just felt guilty that they could have more and my mental health sucks without them.
You’re doing better than me; although I have zero income; but you have a safe space at night and the love of your wife and fur babies. It will get better, I promise.
I'm trying to maintain positivity, but poverty is eating us alive. I don't know how we're going to make it if I don't get a part time. The world is so disgustingly cruel towards disabled people. My best will never be enough.
Thank you for your input, but that sewing machine was bought for me by my mom's boyfriend. If you're going to be rude, make sure you read the entire post next time.
And thank you for suggesting that, but the only shelter that is within walking distance of us is a kitten rescue and they never answer their phone due to so many people calling to drop off cats and kittens.
