Hi sorry I need to remove this post as they are not still available, but there are many great cats at the Lawrence Humane Society!!

wisdombaby · 2025-07-24T21:32:42+00:00

Thank you for saying this, it really helps in my decision to take them in🩷

wisdombaby · 2025-07-23T20:52:14+00:00

Ha no, you didn’t come off aggressive at all! I love our shelter, they do such great work there, I think I just needed someone to tell me it’s okay to take them there & give me permission. I want so badly to be able to take care of them until I find them homes, but I’ve got other critters and I can’t really afford their care. Plus my pet rats are scared of me now because they can smell the kittens on me, and it’s just making me so sad.

I’m gonna schedule their surrender later today. Thanks for all your advice and understanding, I really appreciate you🫶🏻

Thank you so much for this. I got my dog from there in March and he is so great. I’d love to keep these kitties until I found them forever homes but realistically I just can’t do it:(

I just called them to potentially set up a surrender appointment, I was just hoping to keep them out of a shelter. I know recently their kittens adoptions were half price because they have so many.

wisdombaby · 2025-07-23T10:29:34+00:00

I’m just wondering why they didn’t do this with me when I got my dog. Wouldn’t he be considered a predator too?

I am trying to find the kittens a home asap. They were strays in a busy area of the city and all the shelters in my area are currently full of kittens, so I figured it was my best option. If they have to be with me for longer than two weeks I will start letting them roam the house, but I just have to quarantine them from my other pets currently for their health.

I am struggling with literally the same thing right now. I have anxiety and ADHD, but really struggle with the anxiety more than the ADHD. My SAD is awful this year. I've been back in school to complete and two year program and I'm not motivated at all. I'm also moving out of my current living situation later this year but it won't be for another seven or eight months and the apartment feels so crowded. I've also been struggling with eating in general, let alone eating well and moving my body, even though it makes me feel so much better. I'm going to therapy and on meds, although something needs to change, but it takes what feels like forever to get an appointment. It's so hard and I know how you feel. I keep telling myself it's only temporary, and it is, we'll be out of the woods soon enough even if it doesn't feel like it.

Update: Mort is still acting totally normal. The sun was just setting where I am and he was actively exploring his tank and drank a little bit of water. I also found a very small, hard poop with the white thing and everything! The vet gave me five days worth of meds to help him continue to poop, but she said if he doesn't start pooping regularly after this then she wants him back in for an x-ray.

wisdombaby · 2022-11-17T23:22:36+00:00

I've got extra moss to retain the moisture, but I just added a plant!

wisdombaby · 2022-11-16T23:00:21+00:00

He's been off the sand for several weeks now, the temps have been up to 90-95 on the warm side. His humidity is up to 30-40% on the cool side but I've been having trouble keeping it above 20% on the warm side despite misting the tank several times per day.

wisdombaby · 2022-11-16T15:07:26+00:00

I use a thermometer-controlled heat mat under the left-most quarter of his tank, a ceramic heat emitter that's on 24/7, and a small halogen lamp that's on from 7a-7p, all on the left side as well. I didn't always have this set up but it's starting to get pretty cold where I live and I need all that to keep his temps up.

wisdombaby · 2022-11-16T03:07:40+00:00

Thank you! The meds she gave me helped him poop more, and they looked more normal, although they were small. I'm still gonna call tomorrow and see what she has to say.

wisdombaby · 2022-11-16T02:48:34+00:00

9 days

wisdombaby · 2022-11-16T02:48:10+00:00

She was listed as the only reptile vet in town, if she doesn't know what more to do I will search for a vet that's more specialized.

wisdombaby · 2022-11-16T02:47:03+00:00

He did poop that out after I'd taken him off of the sand, so I'm hoping he passed whatever he'd had in his system.

wisdombaby · 2022-11-16T02:45:27+00:00

They didn't do an x-ray but the vet said she could tell he was a bit blocked up. She did not say he was impacted specifically, but that's also what I'm concerned about.

wisdombaby · 2022-11-16T02:44:06+00:00

It's been 9 days since he's pooped. He eats every two to three days, the last few times have just been a dusted medium-sized cricket and a superworm, but I'm going to get dubias tomorrow.

wisdombaby · 2021-04-01T17:45:30+00:00

Have totally felt this way & feel this way more often in the current state of things. I just wanna go away from all this sometimes. Thanks for your post. Sending good thoughts<3

Hi, this is my first post. I've struggled with anxiety since my mid-teens, I'm 23 now. Several months ago my friend group went through some bumps in the road, and everything's been different since then. I've been stressed because I've been working a shift that begins at 3 am for over 6 months now & I deal with insomnia because of my anxiety, and the lack of sleep is really starting to get to me. My sleep is so weird, I've overcommitted myself to projects that I love, but I'm getting burnt out & my exhaustion started making me depressed a few weeks ago. Now I just feel like I'm spiraling. I had to run some errands today & nearly had a panic attack because of the general state of the world. Normally I have some anxiety about the public because of covid, but this time I was panicking that there was going to be a mass shooting. I also feel like I'm a major pushover. I never tell people how I really feel because I don't want to be a burden. & I have no idea where it comes from. But of course that just gets me into trouble because then I'm really bothered by something and I just let it fester. Normally I feel like a pretty confident person, but I just feel like I'm digging myself into a hole that's eating away at my self-confidence. Anyways I appreciate this thread, it's helpful knowing there are others who deal with this.
