If he wants to stay away and reject help he can do that. I’m so sad and tired.

I avoided going into animal rescue or the veterinary field because I wasn’t able to tolerate seeing the inevitable neglect and abuse. But one day if I’m ever in better shape I might volunteer to foster.

After Melbcat I do have experience and skills with animals needing specialised care.
