I did it again. I finally got the little grey and white pregnant kitty on Fernwood and Webster Avenues. She was SO easy. She came right up to me and the big scary carrier I placed in front of her. No fight, no struggle! What a good good girl. Isn't she pretty??
This is a shot of her belly, she's big!
And here you can see her in full view.
I am so thankful I got her. And I am so thankful to Wendy from Another Chance Pet Rescue for taking her. Wonderful group they are. For sure. If you are ever able, please make a donation to them, or help them by becoming a foster for them! I can't believe this is the seventh cat I've removed from the street. I love this poster, it says it all, and no, I have not done the calculations on the seven cats I've removed thus far... :) but I am sure its amazing.
Another thing that blew my mind this morning... I was coming from behind Wally's neighbor's house after feeding the four kitties there (this is also where I rescued Buster and Laura), one black, one red, one black and white, and one black. I think they are all males. Anyways, I was walking toward my car and a person was walking toward me. As she got up closer, I observed it was a black masculine looking woman. I heard her ask "where are you coming from", and I told her from behind the house, I was feeding the kitties. She said "do you know about that dog on the porch?" and I said "what dog?", and I looked, and sure enough there was a large dog sitting on the porch that I had just walked past, sitting there silently. I said I don't know. She then walked over to Wally's door and knocked on it (yes, it was just 5:30 am.!). Wally came, said it belonged to the dude upstairs to the house, and said it was alright. She came back toward me, and muttered something, and I thought she had said, or asked, for five dollars. For a second, I thought, here we go again, someone asking me for something in this neighborhood... so I said, did you say you want to give ME five dollars? And under the streetlight, I could see her reach in her pocket and pull out something, and she ruffled through it and walked towards me and handed me $5. I immediately started to cry (I know, I am a NUTcase), and she could see my eyes tear up and she took me and hugged me, and told me I was a good person, and before I could say anything, she turned around, walked up the steps, past the dog, and into the house. OMG, I was dumbfounded. Here was this total tough looking stranger, I thought she was going to kick the *tar* out of me, and she gave ME money. Life is crazy, but I'll take it! Have a wonderful weekend!!
