Personally I never wanted to have more than 3 or 4 cats but already having 4 cats one day I took the decision to adopt a stray cat that was pregnant because where I live there are many stray cats and really most of the they have a miserable life or die young (just between last year and this one, I took care of two baby cats that had been abandoned by their mothers, and I say this with confidence because I heard them crying for days and when I went to rescue them they were plagued with fleas and conjunctivitis), so I left her in a separate room and there she gave birth 3 or 4 months ago to 3 kittens.

At first my intention was never to keep the kittens, since they born I started to look for people who wanted to adopt baby cats and even asked in nearby veterinaries but they were going to live locked in a cage until someone adopted them and honestly I think it is a little unfair for them considering that since they were born they have lived in a spacious room with all their needs.

So I really gave up looking for someone who wants to adopt them and I guess I will keep them, but really despite having a lot of experience with cats and having enough space for them and everything to meet their basic needs every day I feel stressed and as if I had a burden on me because I feel that there are too many cats for me alone, because I practically live alone (I take care of my father) and I don’t know, this was not really what I wanted nor was my intention.

Thanks for reading.

Edit: Thanks to those who commented, I was able to open my eyes and in a week I will give the kittens to a veterinary center where they will take care of their adoption.

Sincerely it hurts my soul to have to do this but it is necessary, both to ensure a decent life for the kittens and for my mental health.

      I tried it and I really got a bad taste in my mouth. As I said, I have no Facebook experience but I also didn’t know that the admins needed to “verify your posts”. After reading the group rules carefully and doing my best the admins for no apparent reason deleted my posts even though I openly contacted them and asked them to explain what part of the post was wrong, they just deleted it quietly…
