Wow, do you have any idea just how unpetfriendly landlords are in the Springfield area? Getting up on your high horse because someone is being forced to choose between housing and animals that they care for is not only unfair but completely heartless. Someone's asking for help, don't use that as an excuse to turn your nose up.

(Edit) Look, you're probs a decent dude. But have you never had to rehome an animal? The whole process sucks. Just try to approach from a place of understanding before judgment. Life is hard right now for most of us out there with everything going on, let's try to be on each other's side?

That's what a city that was initially not built around heavy use of cars does. Short blocks for easy access to neighborhoods and the university, particularly for walkers. Then you've got downtown.

The lights are well-timed and keep traffic moving.

EDIT: strong replies from people who think that deciding to bring home an animal you can't keep is somehow an involuntary choice. I get that the situation sucks for OP, and that it's hard to walk by suffering, but we all gotta try and make good decisions. Ignoring the issues with taking home an animal you can't keep isn't going to be good for the pets that end up in this situation.

The other option to not taking them in would have been to leave the estimated 6 month old kitten out in the cold where she was abandoned to begin with. And she would've still had her litter shortly after, leading to 5 more street cats to likely die outside. We tried to find someone to take them when we rescued her, and had no luck. Shelters have been packed for months, I didnt want to just drop her off at one. I'm just trying to do my best to find them a loving home as I can't be that for them much longer. I've been trying to find a way to keep them with us when we move, it's been hard enough finding affordable housing that will let us bring any cats, let alone 5 when we bring in a roommate to afford rent. I feel awful trying to rehome them, but I really don't have other options.

I'm a sucker. I use Mister Car Wash, their $19.99/mo package. Unlimited car washes. Granted, I drive a shitload for work - upwards of 700-1000 miles per week, so it's kind of necessary for me.

Yeah I’d get kicked out of this theater too.

Fuck that shit. Give me a hood ass regal where I can hit my vape pen, and fuck off on Reddit during puss and boots. It’s not Cannes film festival. It’s a movie about a dumb ass cat.

Never a fan of this type of situation.

If the cats are great why are you moving without worrying about whether you can take them?

Also, picking up animals with the intention of only "fostering them for a short while" seems, to me, like it's always kind of dishonest. If you pick up and home an animal you should be accepting that you are now responsible for that animal, and not just until you're tired of them. Trying to excuse yourself from that responsibility makes me question how much what you say should be trusted.

There is a place that I really like to go that has good deals and good quality. Good Day Farms on Campbell next to Harbor Freight Tools is a good place. The pre rolls are just ok though. They have a tendency to burn less even. The strains are good and have a lot of indica strains if that is what you like. Staff is helpful and the wait is not long but expect maybe 10-20 mins. William there is really good at educating people who are new to the experience. They also have a great reward program there.

I’m a fan of the podcast, we saw him in Nashville 3 years ago and wasn’t really funny. Shows sold out here this weekend though.
