Help Help me find resue options for 2 adult female cats and 7 kittens.
These cats were dumped in my neighborhood . One female was taken in by the neighbors when she had kittens. They threw her out, kept the kittens, and then abandoned the kittens. One female has 3 kittens one month old, and the other has 3 kittens, maybe 4. 8 weeks old There is an open barn nearby, and I feed them. I thought Lollypop Farm was responsible for taking in stray animals to prevent overpopulation of a neighborhood and to rescue unwanted animals. I filled out their online form 3 days ago and have not had a response. Lollipop would not have to take in 55 cats if their services were available when there were only a few cats. If the 2 dumped females that are humanized had been able to be taken in earlier, there would not be 11 offspring to contend with. I have contacted local rescues, and they have been full since kitten season. I can't, and the neighborhood can't deal with the potential population of 25+ cats in several months. I have 3 cats of my own and no place to house these cats.

Help ISO Decent Landlord
Any suggestions for management companies or private landlords in the city who don’t prioritize profit over their tenants quality of life? I know “decent landlord” is a bit of an oxymoron, but I’ve been fighting with my landlord over a leaky basement and roof for over a year and going back and forth with the city trying to get an inspector out to my place is actually sucking the life out of me. I’m not interested in anything related to Morgan Management or Maison Properties, but all other suggestions welcome!

Event Pissed at RG&E? Want to learn how to replace them with a public utility? Come to the Public Power Town Hall with NYS Assemblymember Sarahana Shrestha and NYC Councilmember Chi Ossé!
From Rochester to Rosendale, Buffalo to Brooklyn, utility bills are too damn high!
Energy is a basic human right, yet our society treats it as a commodity to profit off of. The results of that system in Rochester are dramatic and violent. RG&E cut power to nearly 25,000 ratepayers in our community since the start of 2026 while their parent company, Avangrid, made over $1 Billion in profits. People regularly get bills from the company costings thousands of dollars. Families have to choose between food on the table or heat in the winter.
This system is inhumane, and it needs to change.
Join NYS Assemblymember Sarahana Shrestha and NYC Councilmember Chi Ossé for a conversation on how we can build a statewide movement to take back our power from shareholders who own our energy sector!

Help Looking for a job..,anyone got suggestions?
I’m looking for a job that will work around my college schedule(Tuesday nights at 5pm) I’ve worked in a variety of fields over the years: dog training, IT, airplane maintenance and farming seem to be the main themes. My last job was with Spectrum. I would really prefer something with a late start because I have a sleep disorder and a long commute to the city
Why I’m posting on here is that I’d love to work for a mom and pop type place that may not be posting applications on indeed. (I’ve done 30-50 applications tonight and I need a change of pace)

Help Looking for room/apartment
Howdy. I was living in Rochester up until March, when I moved to Massachusetts but things have fallen through.
I'm not so certain I'll be able to move back into the house I was living in previously as the owner is listing the rooms for rent at the end of this month and could be rented by the time I plan on coming back, which is January.
I'm a clean, quiet, nonsmoking person with three cats (non-negotiable*) looking for a one bedroom, studio, or room in shared household for around $800 or less a month. I've been posting on facebook groups and searching on my own as well on various apartment-hunting websites, so if you are coming here to tell me that, I'd appreciate if you didn't. I can provide landlord references if needed and am hoping I can get my job back at the Hyatt.
Ideal case is that utilities are included and there's laundry on site or very close by. I will need to be within walking distance to a bus stop as I don't have a car.
About me: I'm pretty chill and keep to myself though might have a friend or two over once in a while. I clean up after my cats daily, so no smell or worry about them, and they are very friendly to other cats and humans! I'm an artist of varying mediums, from fabric (quilting) to oils, acrylics, and digital. I'm pretty boring otherwise and can get along with most people.
*One cat is older and I am worried about him, so it might sadly be two cats by the time I can move.
Thanks for your help!
Edited to add: the price plus utilities is the IDEAL situation, I know it might not be doable. That's why I'm putting myself out here in case someone might have something they themselves are able to do or know someone who is. Even being pointed in a direction of "I know it's a bit outside your ideal but did you try [x]?" would be appreciated.

Recommendation I'm looking for unconventional workout classes around rochester
Traditional treadmills, lifting weights, sit ups just don't bring joy and I just end up giving up quickly, so I want something fun!
Im talking like pole dancing, regular dancing, yoga, or hopefully something more fun than that!
I would consider my fitness level to be beginner again like I can run about a quarter mile before I'm winded and need a few minutes to get back to normal breathing, but I can do squats like a champion 💁♀️

Discussion Walmart on chili is the WORST
Every single time I go in there, I try to buy something for the price it says on the shelf (I check to make sure it’s the correct item etc) and it rings up higher, and the workers refuse to change it to the shelf price making excuses that it’s probably wrong or it’s only certain kinds etc, I’ve even had to get out of line to take a damn photo and they still don’t believe it, yes I am trying to scam you out of 50 cents 🙄🙄
Why do these workers act like the difference is coming out of their pockets? It’s legit happened to me 3 times. Do I have to take a pic of every single item and price tag on the shelf? It’s absolutely ridiculous. I’ve never in my life been so mad over this bs. With inflation and everything getting more expensive, just give me what you advertise. I never want to step foot in that store again.

Recommendation Birthday dinner
My birthday is coming up in about a month and I need to pick a restaurant to drag my wife and kids (12,10) to. I am a very adventurous eater and have done my best to make my kids somewhat adventurous, with some success. My wife is very picky. Id like to go to a restaurant that has some uniquely ethnic cuisine, but maybe has 1-2 generic options for my wife. Ideally for me it would be food from some country that no one would expect like " huh I've never seen an Uzbek restaurant" or something.
This may be too difficult, but im willing to drive up to an hour away

After a thorough, scientific observation of nearly a dozen Pyrrharctia isabella larvae (wooly bear caterpillars), the forecast for the upcoming winter is in! This winter will:
1) Start later than average
2) Be more severe than average
3) End late.
The caterpillars never lie.

Help Kitten
Hey guys… need some help. Got my husbands parents a new kitten 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately 4 days ago his mom had a heart attack and open heart surgery and can’t tend to the most perfect kitten ever properly. They are 80. His mom had to be put in a nursing home for 3 weeks and his dad fell because of the kitten and can barely walk now. It’s been a lot! We’d take the kitten ourselves but we got one of our own and he’s an outdoor cat who gets into a lot and is pretty expensive already. right now he’s about 8-10 weeks old. Does anyone know anyone who a good trusting family to take this kitty? He’s soooooo playful and fun. Any help would be lovely.
