How can i get my parents to let me get this one cat 6 days till he can be adopted... im 15 and need HELP?

im 15 and i voulenter at the animal shelter 3 days a week and im still going to go during school.

I already have 2 cats and 3 dogs, one of the dogs is mine the others are my parents. i clean up there **** and take them out etc but i dont feed them because there olders dogs and take pills and stuff that my parents change around cause there like shiny coats and joint stuff ( my mom even said its to complex for me to do cause theres like 4-5 pills plus other stuff) I feed and brush and give water to my cats and play with one ( the others older and shy and dosnt like me very much cause we got her when i was a really little girl like 4 and i chased her around... not my best idea as a kid.) My dads been doing the little box since my cat got a blader thing last year and i never really rooke up doing it again, but i have offered to do it but we both keep forgeting until we actuly try to talk about more pets...





This kitten at the animal shelter bit a girl cause she was being stupid and put her shiny finger in his ace after giving him a treat and he was still hungrey and bit her she complained and now hes quaretined for 10 days and there are 6 days left. ive been playing with him since we was in the nursery as a tiny little baby so ive known him for a month and a half or more!

ive tried to show my parents that im responisble bye keeping my room clean (if u knew me thats hard even though ima girl) i clean the entire house and the car deck etc and im learning to drive so the need to trust me.

all kinds of really bad things have been going on in my life latly and i could really use somthing to make me happy again (a lot of ppl say that they have **** 2 but do u have, A suicidal friend, a friend whos ovary blew up, a friend whos having a miscariage, 2 friends with parents dieing, a friend being abused, a friend who might be dieing and even more! and im not F*cking kidding) and id do everyting for the kitten and my cats nothing would change there besides me doing the litter box again.

I really dont know how to get my parents to agree to the kitten, ive been trying to show them responsiblty but its really hard i start crying all the time and running to my rooms crying dosnt help make me seem older it makes me seem like a baby but with everything thats going on and talking to the ppl its happening to also just makes me sooo sad and i cant help but cry..

my moms seen the kitten hes even licked her nose and purrd the second she picked him up and still nothing really... i dont know what to do i really need help!!! ater everything i cant bare a nother shitting thing in my life...

PLEASE HELP ME I ONLY HAVE 6 DAYS!!!!How can i get my parents to let me get this one cat 6 days till he can be adopted... im 15 and need HELP?
No. You have 2 cats and 3 dogs. You don't need another one. Instead of trying to get another cat to help, go to your friends' houses and visit them and help _them_ instead. Your parents are being torured by the animals they have now (though they wouldn't put it that way) so they wouldn't be able to stand the thought of having another animal around to look after. I know a family who got into rescueing cats and they tried to adopt a bunch. Their life and their house went bad in a big way because they tried too much. So, rescue your friends and let someone else help this cat (or not) because you and your family are not able to do it.How can i get my parents to let me get this one cat 6 days till he can be adopted... im 15 and need HELP?
You may be having a tough time right now with friends however this does not mean you should bring another pet into your home. 5 Animals is more then enough for a family. Keep in mind it's not just responsibility but money. Animals cost money to keep.

When I was younger I wanted to adopt every stray that came around. My mom would be so frustrated with me. It's not that she didn't care for the animals but that you can only save so many of them.

Volunteering at a shelter is wonderful. However if you can not keep yourself detached from them you will only feel miserable each time an animal gets brought in and can't find a home.

If you care for this cat you should try harder to find it a good home. Go to your local Craig's list area and post about the cat and how to adopt it. Good luck.How can i get my parents to let me get this one cat 6 days till he can be adopted... im 15 and need HELP?
Point out everything you do and tell them every shitty thing that's happening in your life. Ask and BEG for the kitten. Promise you'll do everything for her and they won't have to do a thing. That includes buying her food, keeping her dishes full of hard food and water, and scooping her litter box every day.



But then again, think about everything you have going on in your life and decide if you think you're really the best thing for her right now. Alright? She has feelings, too. She needs lots of attention and love. If you have even the slightest doubt that you can't give her every single second of affection she needs, then try to find her a great home instead.How can i get my parents to let me get this one cat 6 days till he can be adopted... im 15 and need HELP?
Ok, you sound like you have enough on your plate as it is! You really need to stop taking on your friends lives and start living your own, as your parents don't really care how other people raise their children, they only care about raising you, and what is best for you, so if you tell them all the stuff you've put on here, you may make them think more about getting you a psychiatrist instead of a new kitten, sorry, but that's what i would do if my kid was taking on the pressures of her friends. Worse still, it may cause them to question if you should really be hanging out with these people at all.



I think you do need to talk to either a councillor or a therapist, as a 15 year old, that's alot to take in. I also think that volunteering at an animal shelter may also be causing you some stress as it isn't the easiest place to work, with all the homeless animals and all, it would make me cry alot, and be moody, too. I think this is a case of you taking on too much responsiblity and not being enough of a kid. You need to take some time out for yourself, and stop worrying about everyone else.



I am a bit like you, whenever there's a cute little face staring at me sooo helplessly i feel the need to take him home, but you need to ask yourself whether it is fair to you or your other cats to bring home this new kitten, as socialising can be difficult, and i would think that you wouldn't want your other cats to be jealous then run away bcoz of your new kitten, would you? Or for them to act out and hurt him? That would be just as sad, then you would have to rehome him yourself, after getting more attached to him.



Maybe ask if you can help to find him a good home, as you are the one who knows him best. Then ask the family who adopts him if you can come to visit him. Good luck, but i think you need to ask yourself if you have your's and your kitten's best interests at heart, and if you are being fair to EVERYONE in this situation.How can i get my parents to let me get this one cat 6 days till he can be adopted... im 15 and need HELP?
Posting this question three times in a row is a quick way to get your account suspended. Are you hounding your parents just as much whining about this cat?



Why don't you spend all this wasted time giving attention to the pets you do have? You have FIVE PETS - what's wrong? They're not kittens and puppies anymore so you no longer love them?



If you're a supposed volunteer at this shelter - shouldn't you be spending your time cleaning litter boxes, feeding the other cats and cleaning cages - instead of just playing with this one kitten?
