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!

shells. Onyx making progress each day as
well All are up for adoption, or will
be. Kittens, not for a while.

So when will Connor or Nyx be ready?
ReplyDeleteYou 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?
