Disappointment, Vent and Ramblings of the Catlady

 

No one knows just how many people ask me for help DAILY, or how many I actually put myself out to help. This is above and beyond me doing what I love - rescuing kitties! 

 

Since I moved to my property in February 2019, I have been screwed over more times than I can count. First by the neighbors on the hill - that was an ongoing situation in the care of Iva (whom I adore), but the others on her property used me and stole from me and took advantage of me for a time.

 

I ran my Jeep to death helping them and not once did the offer to help me do any maintenance on it. Now it is parked, still runs, but needs major work. I love my Jeep, miss driving it! It is being used for storage right now of some of the materials for the renovation of the 5th wheel.

Many came here with nowhere else to go, not telling me they had ZERO income of their own - expecting me to support them. It financially ruptured me but they didn't care. When they left the messes were disgusting and uncalled for! My own cousin left a disgusting mess in my little RV and when I cleaned it I found a bunch of the shit he kept saying he didn't have over there!!! 

A so called friend stayed with me a few weeks, took of to her son's home and then refused to get her things off the property, or even move them out of the weather. She actually told me to do it! Then, when I had finally had enough we got law enforcement involved who explained to her that I am not a free storage facility and she had until a certain date to get her things or lose them. She failed to remove everything and left me a ton of shit to sort through and throw away - things I am STILL trying to get sorted and tossed!!!

Then I needed major foot surgery after a foot injury and needed helpers. I had no idea they were pill head thieves! They purchased a motorhome and brought it here, leaving it behind when they left. The less they left was beyond disgusting - dog shit and nasty food ankle deep (or deeper) from one end to the other, and a yard full of debris and trash. I am still working on clearing that up, hopefully that yard will be finished this week!

My own stepson basically destroyed 2 campers, a tent and 3 areas on the property. He had his own camper that he left behind when he went back to Michigan. He left is near hip deep in trash, recycles and nasty clothes. I finally got it cleared out. All that's left is sweeping it out, scrubbing it down and fixing the hole where the a/c was. I removed over 90 bags of junk from that camper!!! The entire time he kept bitching about not having clothes..... over 25 bags that came out of that camper was nothing but clothing!!! It was so nasty it wasn't worth donating though. 

The tent he simply wadded up with wet shit inside. The mold and mildew could be smelled from 50 feet away. More clothes and dirty dishes wadded up inside the tent, left for me to sort through, knowing I have COPD and it is his mess he should have addressed it. The canvas part of the tent is now ruined because of the mold '/ mildew - it was like new when it was loaned to him. All iit was missing was the poles, but he did make it work. All the blankets he had inside of it had to be tossed because they were rotten with mold and mildew. He never even offered to replace any of them.

The motorhome I am currently in while I work on the 5th wheel was a disgusting mess too. My stepson left it nasty. Had I seen the inside of his camper BEFORE he moved into this motorhome, he never would have lived in this motorhome!!! So much has to be junked because it cannot be cleaned. 

All of the above did more damages than they ever paid in the pittance of rent I charged them. I am still financially paying out due to the damages they caused. I could file a suit on them but since none of them really have anything I wouldn't be able to collect anything. :( The sad thing is they moved on and will do the same shit to someone else, never caring about the impact their behavior has on others. 

So, will I bleed out money to clean up after their sorry asses I have others sticking their hands out for me to help. Not always financially, but giving rides, wanting a camper, promising all sorts of shit if I just help them this once....... Can I make some calls? Can I do some networking? Can I help them with some research? It never fucking ends. Of course they never live up to the promises they make to me!!!! The only thing they do is delay my tasks and show me that no matter how I try to work out my trust issues, few are actually worthy of that trust!!

Next weekend I will be out $400 for a dump trailer being brought up here so I can finally toss all the crap that all of the above left behind! I had to bag it up and move it to a location the dump trailer could access it easily. I had to pay for the bags to bag it all up. Not a single one of the above has offered one red cent to pitch in on cleaning up their messes. Now I have several wanting to "rent" the empty campers they left behind!!! REALLY???? You want to rent them but you do not want a rent break to help me clean them up????? They also do not want to pay the increase for me cleaning it!!!

Sorry, been there done that and been burned way too many times. Not gonna happen again!!! I am still dealing with the shit the very first renter left and cannot get all of that hauled off for recycle and the trailer moved closer to me. The quotes I have received - with me purchasing the fuel - are outrageous! I think over $1200 to move a 20 foot box trailer less than 100 yards, with me providing the fuel, is a bit ridiculous. I am happy to pay, but be reasonable!

I have worked through the severe pain, pushed myself beyond the limits of my body for what? Because now I have a to do list from code enforcement because a bitch karen thinks she knows everything and made a report via the app in spite. It's all good though since I was already addressing the issues code enforcement put on the list AND had photo documentation I had been addressing them!!! Tell me and post on social media "I'll call code enforcement and get your ass kicked off your own property". Guess what, since that is documented IF any citation comes out of I can, and will be filing suit against Eda Naples for making that complaint. IF I suffer any harm physically or financially in order to speed up the process of addressing the code enforcement to do list I can file suit as well!!! 

I am so sick of karens who think people should live up to THEIR standards. Like I said before my dream is just that - my dream and I have a right to follow my dreams. Eda had zero right to throw stones at my dream out of spite. So, let me tell you the type of person she is....

I had reached out to her because she supposedly  runs a rescue in Apple Valley. This was during the time Daisy's Paws was refusing to provide supplies for the sick kittens and refusing to get them vet care. Eda said she would come out, bring some supplies and see how she could help with the babies. Not once did she ask if the kittens had been receiving antibiotics, dewormer or any medicaiton. Not once did she ask if the sickly ones were being syringe fed to make sure they stayed hydrated and fed. She asked ZERO of the normal questions about their care. Instead, she and her husband took pictures. I  ONLY approved pictures of the kittens - which were then posted in a do not adopt group the next day. Eda never actually helped, she just made Daisy's Paws pick up the kittens and she actually bought into their lies about getting the sick ones vet care. They did pick up the kittens and almost all of them died. NONE of them got any vet care! Had they stayed with me I am quite sure more of them would have survived. But she told me on that visit, to my face that she was gonna call code enforcement and make sure I never fostered again. How is that helping the sick kittens that I was begging for help with? It didn't. Eda didn't like that I live in a motorhome. Eda didn't like that I live off grid. Eda didn't like how I choose to live - secluded and away from everyone. Eda decided she knew best and she knows nothing. Eda, now knows that Daisy's Paws was a scam, when she was here she insisted no rescue would ever do that, refused to read the texts I had and flat refused to think that the scam rescue had abandoned the kittens. Nope, Eda refused to believe that, but it happened. I wasn't the only one either, so far we have found at least 30 victims of Daisy's Paws. Eda has SEEN the posts of all the victims, mine included and still refuses to even apologize that she was wrong about them!!! Not that I expect I will ever hear her say it, apologizing is beneath her status she tries to project.

So, reaching out to her rescue for help resulted in the death of over 14 kittens. All because she was hell bent on not believing that Daisy's Paws was a scam. Her rescue could have taken them in. Her rescue could have gotten them the vet care they needed.

For those not familiar with how fostering for a rescue works, let me explain. The foster CANNOT obtain vet care for the fostered animal without the rescue's approval. Even if I had taken them to the vet, the vet would call the rescue for approval and Daisy's Paws flat refused me when I asked about it. It works similar to fostering children. A foster parent has to get the social workers approval to take the child for medical care. Same concept with fostering animals, the foster must have approval from the rescue or the animal gets zero vet care. That is where I was stuck. I had called around and was told without the rescue's approval they could not see the kittens. That is when I began reaching out online for help with the kittens.

 

I went through 3 rounds of 3 different antibiotics with them. I tried everything for the runny stool (nothing worked). I researched and read and tried everything I ran across that fit their symptoms, nothing worked. I syringe fed every 2 hours, of course setting alarms and getting little to no sleep. I buried the ones who didn't make it no matter how hard I tried and they fought. I spent near all of my food stamps on raw meats for them to boost their protein and iron. That helped somewhat, but not enough. Of course Eda never asked about any of this and when I mentioned it she did not want to hear it. She only wanted to believe in what she perceived that she saw. 

 

The day she came I was seriously sleep deprived, had some dishes stacked up and kittens passed out everywhere. She didn't ask why they were all crashed out, nope. She refused to hear that less than 30 minutes before she arrived I had just finished medicating and feeding them, so of course they were crashed out! It was also hot that day and people had been over off and on all day so the living room was not as cool as usual since I had the screen door open knowing she would be there soon. Yes, some of the babies needed a bath. Every kitten was bathed up to 3 times a day depending on which kitten and how messy they were. She never asked that. No I did not bathe them just before she arrived because they were all crashed out and I was tired and wanted to rest a bit before I bathed them. 

 

All she saw was happy kittens,, full bellies all crashed out everywhere. She took pictures of HEALTHY kittens claiming they were sick - posted those healthy kittens in the do not adopt group. I can prove some were healthy I have pictures and video documentation of that. Junior is in her pictures, she claimed he is unhealthy. She lied to make herself look good but what she doesn't realize is I reached out to her rescue for help and this is how I was treated. If she will do it to me then she will do it to anyone!!!! She doesn't want to help unless it makes her look good. The bag of meow mix she brought for the littles was MOLDED so bad even the chickens wouldn't eat it!!!

 

They say first impressions are important. I will share my first impression of her upon meeting her that day. I had suspected she was a stoner considering the name of one of her businesses. Let's Get Stoned - says a lot. I thought the fact she is bone thin was strange. Typically only tweakers and those with end stage cancer are that damn thin. I watched her and thought not cancer, gotta be speed! Funny how addicts seem to attack those who do not do any sort of drugs. The accusations are a reflection of their own behavior. But in that first impression I concluded it had to be speed. That is just my personal feeling, no proof. Who knows she may have cancer, but I highly doubt it. Being that skinny is not natural. Maybe she is anorexic..... Either way it came off like she was a speed tweaker to me. The utter invasion of my privacy of her husband taking pictures of my property without my knowledge was disgusting. I have learned that she has done this to at least 2 others......

 

Now that this issue is in the open I can finally breathe!!! I posted that she worked miracles - she did. Code enforcement's little to do list was a welcome thing. The only thing it caused was speeding up the clean up, which as I said, has pushed my body beyond it's limits day after day. 

 

I reached a breaking pooint yesterday, where I realized I am done going out on a limb for others. I do NOT want to hear a single can you help me UNLESS your ass is out here helping me. That is a 2 way street ya know! Sick of people wanting shit from me, making me promises and then not living up to them. Nope, not doing it anymore. BEFORE I lend a hand those asking best come out here and help me first. I am done and when I'm done I am DONE.

 

I received a call from one of the ones who had stayed here for a couple of months. She wanted to "forgive me" for all the things I accused her of, to this day she claims she did not do. But what I accused her of she 100% did.  She kept trying to blame my cousin. I will not list the individual things, but she 100% did everything I said she did so there is nothing to forgive me for. Truth is truth it requires no forgiveness. I found it offensive that to this day she cannot accept responsibility for what she did and is still trying to play the blame game.

 

Ok, things to get done today and I have opened up about so much here. I will pray for those who have wronged me. I will pray for helpers and donations to help cover the dump trailer. 

Thanks for listening to my vent and have a blessed day!
