27 Cats Fixed Yesterday

Yesterday I transported 27 cat up to be fixed at the Portland fixed place FCCO clinic. 17 came from the orignal household that contacted me. There's one more kitten who needs fixed from there and she will be fixed next week. When she called her neighbors, they said they had about 15. They trap them and contain them in an enclosure in their barn, then socialize them and try to find them homes. Cats are dumped up there, and it's left to kind hearted people, like these two households, to try to help them.

The original people who contacted me got over 20 fixed themselves, but could not keep up, on fixed incomes, paying the cost at private clinics. They were overjoyed for the help from the FCCO and a delight to work with. They contacted the FCCO, made the appointment, negotiated a price, paid for my gas, fed in a trap prior. I told them "You guys aren't like most people I run into." The man is about 86 I think and cared for by his adult disabled daughter, who can barely walk due to severe issues with a hip replacement that got infected. And yet she helped, even having to use her walker. Amazing.

It made me feel good to help these two households.

Here is what my car looked like, transporting 27 cats, each in a seperate carrier or trap, to the FCCO clinic in Portland yesterday. It was like doing a jigsaw puzzle to get them all to fit in.
