I've already made a thread about my ex, so I won't repeat that story here, but it is an example of what I'm talking about.
Another instance of this is the cat that stays around the homeless shelter I've been sleeping at. She has no proper place to sleep and was ridden with fleas before I stepped in and bought medication for her. Frankly, it's not really a good idea for her to be loitering around outside much longer. Not only is it risky to her health due to parasites and other animals, but a lot of the tenants here smoke. Don't ask me how they afford it because I have no idea.
I've been having conflicted feelings about giving her up to a shelter, though. I've been trying to find if there's a way I can keep her myself (like staying at a pet-friendly shelter, using vet services that are offered to low income individuals, etc.) but I haven't come up with much luck. I'm currently in the East Bay area of California, and I'm starting to think I might have to move to SoCal for there to even remotely be a chance that this can work (not that I necessarily mind moving)...
The writing on the wall is pretty clear, though. I'll most likely have to give her up to a shelter so she can have a stable place to live, get food, etc. I just wish I could afford to take care of her. She deserves a happy, healthy life. Not one like this.
It's like... I don't really have a reason to live anymore, y'know? It's all gone.
