   Coming from someone who feels the same way, there are several options!

   The first and most obvious is working at a shelter – for you, I would emphasise locating a no-kill shelter. You can volunteer on weekends, or if you’re lucky, you can get a position there. From my personal experience, shelters are mostly staffed by dog lovers rather than cat lovers, and working with cats can be great for both your mental health, and the mental health of the cats.

   Otherwise, I would suggest fostering! Oftentimes shelters will place young kittens and the occasional adult cat with a foster parent. This essentially means you get to ‘loan’ a cat haha. Joking aside, they will never place a sickly or dying cat with a foster parent, and it’s a very important position and influence on a cat’s life. Providing a safe place, making sure they eat properly, interacting and socialising the cats to ensure they’re comfortable with humans – it’s absolutely critical. Cats that aren’t sociable are far more likely to get put down, kicked out, and suffer in general because people don’t want an anxious ball of teeth and claws in their house. If you have somewhere to live, I would suggest fostering first and foremost.

   It’s also important for you to focus on the cats you CAN save. I volunteer at a shelter and focus primarily on socialising new cats, cats with social disorders and young kittens. They’ve changed my life, and I know that, even if there are cats out there I can’t help – I have changed theirs for the better. Please focus on your own mental health, narrow your focus to what YOU can do, and take it a step at a time.
