i work in the uni campus. it's VERY big and very green and people have a terrible habit around these parts of abandoning animals in large green areas, like parks and obv the campus. so a couple years back some students and professors of vet med founded an organization to care for these animals, because they wound up sick and starving and breeding. great. beautiful. we (my family) help them whenever we can, with food and medicine donations, because they can't cover everything alone.

so this fine afternoon, about an hour ago, i was on my way to clock out (the clock is in a separate building from the one i work in) and i hear desperate meows, literal cries for help. me and another lady who was going by, we both stop and start looking, and we find a cat stuck on top of a building. it's not a very tall building, but there are no windows, it's built like a garage, and she's small, like she probably isn't more than a year old and has a small build anyways.

me and the lady get crazy worried. i forget i have to clock out at all. we start going around asking for help and no one seems to know what to do. we wind up at the med vet department and they tell us they can't rescue the cat. they can't. help us. rescue the cat.

which explains A LOT of the troubles the organization that actually cares for the animals here go through, tbqh.

so i'm typing this while sitting on the fucking ground waiting for firefighters because in a large ass fucking campus no one NO ONE could volunteer to find a fucking ladder that went high enough to rescue a small cat.
