Unfortunately, I encountered a sick kitten over the weekend, rushed him to the vet, and it was deemed the humane thing to euthanize. He was only 6 weeks old. 
Was a very sad day. Gave my cats at home extra love. 
Spay and neuter, and if you see an animal in need, always step in to help! 
I'm sorry for your struggles. I agree, keep filing and filing for disability. It's almost inevitable, it seems, to be denied the first time or two, but you can get there. It won't be enough to totally sustain yourself, but you can try to become a transcriber at home. I've *heard* that websites like Scribie and Rev are legitimate. I use Clickworker here and there for quick jobs I guess are basically considered data entry. They also have opportunities sometimes to, for instance, go to Sephora or Ulta and take a picture of a certain product for something like $20 in return. I hope that helps a little. 
Best of luck to you.
The summers are too hot for me. Winter is pretty miserable more so for the fact it's (seemingly) unending darkness than the cold part. Though I am sensitive to cold. Fall has a special magic in the air, and Halloween is my favorite time of year anyway.
Prayers and positive vibes. I hope we can get a positive update ASAP! 
Happy fall! Time for hot tea, sweater, and boots season!

I have been online doing research on declawing cats. Have thought about it but I don't know. I heard of people who have done it, and I have heard of people who are against it. Sometimes cats will scratch carpets, sofas etc, regardless of countless cat trees. I only have 1 cat tree, working on purchasing another soon.
Okay, I'm worried by some of these replies, haha. If you really, genuinely care about your cat, I think you'll decide not to. Scratching is a natural, stimulating experience for a cat, and one I would argue is necessary. In my experience, if they go for an upholstered chair, for instance, in your presence, it may be because they want attention from you. Using throw blankets over targeted furniture, using repellent spray on the furniture, and providing scratching posts will help a ton. We have done all these things and seen a wonderful improvement. Put a cat tree within 6 feet or less of whatever your cat likes to scratch that you don't want messed up.
We had one cat, an elderly male, that was declawed by a previous guardian, and it left his toes disfigured. He still attempted to scratch and it was so sad to watch. Besides that, some of the other cats targeted him to pick on because they knew he couldn't effectively fight back. If you ask me, ripping an animal's claws out is really not a call for a human to make! Hope I've helped!
I and others really truly care about our cats. There is NOTHING wrong declawing them. Cats do not scratch furniture or other things like door facings because they want attention from you. Cats scratch to sharpen their claws. Everyone does not want throw blankets all over their house.
People who declaw cats keep them in the house so there should not be too much of an issue with fighting with other cats. And no it isn't like ripping your toe nails out. Too many bleeding heart liberals with too much time on their hands. People sit around and think up all this stupid stuff to protest about. Like idiots trying to tell neighbors they can't have Christmas lights outside because they are offended.
Besides that, I also prioritized buying handmade and vegan/cruelty-free items. I hope more people do the same! Things like this do a lot of good, without having to just donate directly.
