[0:09]Luna's cage and get her sared away fed

[0:15]water parasite

[0:17]treatments to clean her cat bed cuz she

[0:19]pooped on that I think she did use the

[0:23]litter box also like I think she's just

[0:25]not you know she needs maybe she doesn't

[0:28]have time to get to cuz you know what

[0:31]she's dealing

[0:32]with I'm tired it's been a long four or

[0:36]five days I need to shower I didn't show

[0:38]her this weekend because I just didn't

[0:40]want to leave her

[0:41]alone so um you know I have to keep an

[0:45]eye on Bailey and just make sure they're

[0:47]getting along even though there is a

[0:49]cage there they just didn't feel

[0:52]comfortable but I wanted to talk about

[0:56]the challenges of taking care of a

[0:58]little kitten that is this sick and in

[0:59]our

[1:01]every single time that she poops or pees

[1:03]on something I have to throw it

[1:06]away because I don't have laundry

[1:09]facilities I can't just pack it up in

[1:11]something and

[1:13]then um you know take it down to the

[1:17]laundry mat like that's just not that's

[1:21]not a situation I can do right now we've

[1:23]thrown a away a bunch of blankets

[1:26]towels

[1:28]um nothing else I can do I had to I had

[1:31]to like I've tried cleaning up after her

[1:35]but it just feels like it doesn't feel

[1:38]sanitary or clean to me it's just got to

[1:40]go

[1:42]so

[1:44]um my tanks are full so I couldn't

[1:46]really give her a bath in here so I did

[1:49]it outside I went and got hot water down

[1:51]at the um at the shower housee I

[1:57]mean it's challenging this a it's a

[2:00]small space she's in a cage in a small

[2:03]space cuz I can't have her just roaming

[2:04]around it's not kitten prooof

[2:07]yet and if she was sleeping with me I'm

[2:11]worried I might Crush her she's 1.7 lbs

[2:14]so she's got to sleep in her cage

[2:20]and

[2:22]um it's not easy doing the best I can

[2:26]for her you adapt that's all you can do

[2:31]so it's been it's been expensive I'm

[2:33]going to have to had to replace my

[2:34]towels so I could take a shower

[2:37]today

[2:38]um I'm going to have to replace my

[2:41]blankets

[2:42]cuz I just it's this is a

[2:47]challenge it is and try to be

[2:50]transparent about her cost you know

[2:52]because I really do need the

[2:54]help I think it was like

[2:57]$150 for the first v um 300 for the

[3:00]second one that man did all kinds of

[3:03]things gave her a B vitamin shot like

[3:05]four or five different shots

[3:08]and

[3:09]um very thorough exam really took care

[3:13]of her I think it was like $50 for that

[3:16]cage you know that's temporary because

[3:19]it's not I don't have the space to keep

[3:21]it you know that I knew that getting

[3:23]that was

[3:24]temporary but I'm just doing the best

[3:26]that I can you know and

[3:31]um so now I'm just buying little hand

[3:34]towels and trying to because you know

[3:36]you got to keep her comfortable and warm

[3:39]her body temperature is a little lower

[3:41]than it's supposed to be not a whole lot

[3:43]but a little

[3:44]bit

[3:46]and I don't know man there's just so

[3:49]much and I'm I'm not even awake right

[3:52]now it was nice to having her out for a

[3:54]while you know and we'll do that again

[3:57]today I got a deal with the last of the

[4:01]things I have that don't have a place

[4:03]that aren't organized so that I can

[4:05]start kitten grouping this place and

[4:08]maybe she can walk around in

[4:11]here

[4:13]and you know just a little bit every day

[4:17]because she's she needs

[4:20]time M needs time to get used to

[4:23]her

[4:28]and it's important to share the reality

[4:31]you know this

[4:33]is this is not the right environment to

[4:36]be taken care of a sick K but nobody

[4:39]else would help her so I did

[4:44]it I called all the cat rescues nobody

[4:47]would take her you know nobody had the

[4:49]resources they were all stretched thin

[4:51]that's just another problem in this

[4:53]world where we're relying on volunteers

[4:56]to help these

[4:57]cats and they don't have the resources I

[5:00]don't have the

[5:01]resources

[5:04]and you know it's just such a big

[5:06]problem it's just one of many big

[5:08]problems in this

[5:13]world there's a lot about this world

[5:15]that frustrates me because there we

[5:17]could be utilizing resources a lot

[5:19]better than we

[5:22]do it's just frustrating

[5:27]honestly a kitten like that should have

[5:29]had very good Professional Care right

[5:32]from the start there should have been a

[5:35]way to get her the house she

[5:38]needed without

[5:40]her pleading with me to take her in you

[5:44]know and then trying to care for her in

[5:46]this small

[5:49]space I mean the conditions are just

[5:51]this this is just not

[5:56]ideal so anyway I'll let you see her

[5:59]sleeping and then just going to get my

[6:01]day started there's so much that needs

[6:03]to be done

[6:05]um I'll try posting

[6:09]later

[6:11]um I guess we'll

[6:13]see really need her to be sleeping but I

[6:17]came over here so now she sees

[6:20]me hi

[6:22]Luna she had her um her worm treatment I

[6:27]think that made her kind of tired or

[6:29]something I I don't know she didn't eat

[6:31]as much as I was hoping she

[6:33]would um not at all I'm going to have to

[6:37]give her last cuz I I think I'm

[6:39]overestimating what she's capable of

[6:41]right now but yeah she's tired I'm going

[6:44]to let her

[6:46]rest she's so dark that she just Blends

[6:49]in like I can't even tell if she's

[6:51]looking at me or

[6:53]not I can see you back there hi

[6:57]Luna all right you get some sleep okay I

[7:00]know you need it

Summary

rswfire describes the challenges of caring for Luna, a 1.7-pound sick kitten, while living in an RV without laundry facilities. He details the morning routine of cleaning her cage, administering parasite treatments, and managing accidents that require throwing away contaminated blankets and towels. **Financial costs are mounting** — $150 for the first vet visit, $300 for the second with multiple shots and thorough exam, $50 for a temporary cage. He had to bathe Luna outside using hot water from the shower house due to full tanks. **Space constraints are significant** — Luna must stay caged because the RV isn't kitten-proofed and he's worried about crushing her if she sleeps with him. He contacted multiple cat rescues but none had resources to take her. rswfire expresses frustration with resource allocation in society and acknowledges this isn't the ideal environment for a sick kitten, but he took her in because no one else would help. Luna appears tired after worm treatment and isn't eating as much as expected.
