Hello All I'm really Pissed off so don't mind me 
I have these neighbors which are nice people for the most part a little out there with some of the things they do but for the most part nice people BUT HORRIBLE PET OWNERS! They were given a black and white cat a few years ago that turned out to be a female and since she was never fixed she seems to ALWAYS be in heat. Since they first received the cat me and my mom have been telling them very nicely that they should get their cat fixed. God forbid she ran away or ended up having some type of cancer that could have been avoided with a simple little operation. Now I understand how expensive it is to have a cat fixed because I have a cat and a dog and it cost around $500 to get both of them fixed by our vet so I searched for alternatives. Here in NYC we have an organization that you might know of called the ASPCA that can be seen on Animal Plant (one of those animal cop shows, the best one I might had :main_laugh: ) Well this is a really great organization it deals with animal abuse/neglect, adoption, education, affordable vet care, etc. One program that they had is free spaying and neutering, they have a van that goes around to low income areas and the first 25 people to show up with their animals are fixed, given some vaccinations if you want/need them and you just have to pay $3-$5 for the E-Collar. They also have a small clinic here in the Bronx that you can go and set up an apt. to get your animal checked for either a very small fee or free. Anyway when they first got the cat I downloaded and printed the vans ENTIRE schedule, requirements, times, EVERYTHING and even reminded them on the days and they NEVER went.
Well time passed and a few months ago someone else gave them a little kitten that turned out to be a boy. Of course we spoke to them again about getting their NOW cats fixed before he started spray that nasty smell throughout the house and especially before they had a new liter of kittens to add to the unwanted list in shelters. As time went on I downloaded, printed out the schedule again in the hopes that they would finally take my seriously but NO luck until the other day. It seems that the little boy has reached sexual maturity and is now spraying the funk all over the house and has even tried mounting the female cat but she's not having since she's not in heat. This time they finally took our advice and once again I looked up the information but this time a little ticked off! They have a computer thats connected to the internet, a printer that prints, eyes to help them see and functional hands that are able to type!!! BUT somehow I have to be the one to find the information!? It's not complicated at all type in ASPCA.org click on the search, type in spay/neuter then click on the right link. If you can be on myspace all freaking day then you can take 5 seconds to look up the schedule and make a note of it. Thinking of the animals I looked it up anyway because I know if they didn't have it in front of their damn faces they would make up some phony excuse NOT to go.
Today was the day that they were planning to take both cats because the poor little boy has been locked away in a crate for the past few days because of the spaying and the female seems to be going into heat. My mom reminded them last night that today was the day that the van would be in front of Petland and that she should get their early. They said oh yeah I'll set my alarm for it, YEAH RIGHT! My mom wakes up everyday at 5:30am and leaves for work at 7am while I wake up a 7am to get ready for class. Well I got up a 6 something and my mom noticed that it was awfully quiet next door and went out to throw out the trash and heard one of the cat meowing away (the little male locked in the crate) so she knocked on the door since the flier says to get their before 7am so you could have a better chance of being one of first 25. Surprise, surprise they had over slept and complained that it was TOO late to take them now even though the spot is literally 5 mintues away by foot (I should know I walk to and from the bus everyday). My mom went into a panic and told them that since it was cold and a week day that most likely not that many people should be there and she should atleast try! Finally they agreed but we had to hand over a pet carrier and a blanket because they didn't know how they were going to take them.
A few hours had passed and I called my mom when I was at school to see if the little ones had finally been fixed. Much too their luck the van over heated or something like that and they weren't able to do and fixing until it got fix but the workers/volunteers suggested that she go over to fordham (further away but doable, if you can go down there to shop, get piercings and tattoos and junk you can take your cats to get fixed) Well she didn't feel like going ALL the way over there and jumped into the cab that she took to Petland (like I said a 5 minute walk away) and came right back home complaining that she was broke had "things" to do! Which surprises me because you don't work and basically have your friend living with you as if he were a modern day slave so what "things" were you doing!? If you can't take care of the damn cats give them to someone that can instead of making them suffer! uuughhh! Do I have to offer and pay so the animals can be finally taken care of!? I don't understand!
*rubs ears* Wu-Sa!
I'm sorry if I sound really judgmental thats not the way I am but some times people just get to me! Why take on the responsibility of having an animal if your going to be irresponsible!? I just don't get some people! Especially when it's FREE.
