B-Mama |
Well, little B-Mama went back to the streets - Sid and Johnny's Auto on Bay Street, to her remaining baby there, that just won't let me get her. I set a kitten trap this morning before letting mama go, but no luck. Poor thing. Her sibs are doing great, I held them this weekend at their foster home.
Caesar |
Caesar from Second and Central was also let back after spending an uncomfortable night in the trap on my porch. He cried the whole time. Ate like a champ, so did B-Mama, but boy do they get uncomfortable in those traps. Its so hard letting them go. Caesar had a couple of wounds so he got a shot of convenia while getting neutered.
Spencer before rescue |
Spencer was brought to the vet yesterday. Extremely jaundiced, and as the doctor said, he is very sick. We are trying him on new medicine - Prednisolone, along with an appetite stimulant, and will then regroup on Friday. He lost two pounds. He is down to just over 7 pounds now. I had to keep him separated when I brought him home to see if he eats. This morning, he was crying at the door. He ate a little and then went back to his perch. He isn't moving around too much. He definitely isn't feeling well. Meanwhile, I went to the store this morning in search of every different chicken wet food I can find that he might like. They even make these tiny pouches now with real chicken. This rescue from Pennsylvania and Second was a happy one for me. I knew he was going to be someone's angel. But it didn't turn out that way - two potential adopters turned him down - so now he is my angel.
PARSELLS CATS |
I saw quite a few unspayed/unneutered cats out this morning. I need to take inventory, and really could use some help. We can't have any more babies being born. I am getting worried about the one Parsells location as I don't have shelter on this porch of the vacant house, where my shelters were all trashed by a property management company early this year. There are over 15 cats that I am feeding at this one spot. When they get spooked, you should see them all come flying off that porch. This is also where there are two unspayed/unneutered older kittens that I couldn't trap, due to the large number of cats here. I did get their mama spayed a month or so ago.
There is also so much glass out there. Poor little guy on Short Street is limping. The weather is turning soon, and I need to build up my shelters. I could really use the help.
Peanut (named Bruno when I grabbed him to be neutered earlier this summer) |
There is a girl just waiting for me to rescue a kitty so that she can foster one - her name is Kim. What a rare gem it is to find a foster. I was going to do it this morning, but letting these two TNR's back out, and with Spencer's illness right now, I just couldn't do it. I am planning to on Saturday morning though. I think I have just the one too. From Baldwin and Grand. Peanut needs to be removed from this location because he is extremely hungry//needy, pushes Blackie #2 around and Blackie does not like it. There will be a fight sooner or later. I trip over Peanut from the minute I get out of the car to the back of the dark lot when I place the precious wet food down. He's gotta go. Its one of my more harder feeding locations. I am going to break my leg tripping over him sooner or later!
Have a great day!

Hello! New to this blog and I want to say what a great job you are doing. I used to take care of a handful of colonies and I live in the hood so I hear you loud and clear regarding the apathy and hatred of these lovable little angels. Right now I have started reading this blog from the beginning and it is heart breaking. I have made it through 2013.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what is wrong with your little Spencer, I haven't read up on him yet, but you said you are looking for chicken foods to feed him. Have you tried Gerbers #2 chicken baby food? Some call it kitty crack.
