Stud Muffin


This will be quick and short. 



This stud muffin will no longer be servicing the girls in the Beechwood section of Rochester.  This is one feral male.  Even when he was placed in truck he let off a scent that is unmistakable.  Nevertheless, he’s a cat that should never have been homeless in the first place.   His mother was a feral cat and she had him outdoors, most likely.  And most likely, his siblings, or some of them, died shortly after they were born, or at some point thereafter.  That’s the life for feral cats.  Sad but true.  And its our fault, the humans, for not doing something about it a long time ago.  Sure, there are those of us, the few and the brave, that try our best to do something about it, but its not enough and more should have been done a long time ago.  By our government.  We should have been paying people to go out and spay and neuter – it really would have made a difference.  We should have come up with a birth control that you just put the water for them and no more babies.   SOMETHING!  But now its so out of control, and its global!  I went to Greece back in 2003 and their road kill is dogs.  The cats, well they were all over the place, hanging out in the coliseums and countrysides, running through the small towns, large towns like Athens, gypsy camps, all over the place.  That was the only sad part of the trip.

But here we are, the few and the brave, trying our best.  This guy will go back to the street this evening, after the anesthesia wears off.



The kitten I trapped yesterday morning, she is out in the country as I type, being transferred to a cage in a barn, a very nice barn, a very nice horse barn, where she will be acclimated for a week or two, and then let out after learning to trust her new humans.  She was pregnant.  Very early, but she was pregnant.  And no more than SIX MONTHS OLD.  Pathetic.

Thanks to one girl Laurie, who said I WILL TAKE HER, not knowing her temperament as being feral, that I myself thought twice about letting her back to the streets.  So glad this other girl offered her barn.  Thank you Ashley.  Take care of this little girl, and keep us posted!






NYX - Such a beautiful boy...


Buffy and babies all doing fine.  Parsley and Hermie coming out of their shells.  Onyx making progress each day as well  All are up for adoption, or will be.  Kittens, not for a while.

HERMIE

PARSLEY
Connor is doing well also.  His test results came back, and he should be good to go.  I am just hoping his fur grows back. 

That’s it, off to work.  Have a great day.

  3. You rocked it out this week Janine. I don't know how you do it. I will help you this weekend if you need it. Should we get LAura Burns to help drop trap mama cat on Parsells?
