Superior Grade Rescued Kittens

This is my new ad idea for the trailer park kittens:

Superior Grade Rescued Kittens Need homes. Born under the porches and in the insulation of some of the best trailer parks in Oregon!

Their story in their words: "We all have different daddy's. They never come by unless there's food out or one of our aunt's is, well, needing one of them or they hear there's catnip being passed around. Our mom ran off with an older brother. I think she's pregnant again, so I guess we'll have some more brothers and sisters real soon. We're different. We want better lives. We learned about a different world, watching "Animal Planet" on the TV through the screen door, and began dreaming and plotting out our futures. We tricked a cat trapper into getting us fixed. We have no fleas or worms."

UPDATE: I caught the cat in N. Albany, adopted out unfixed as a kitten. She now has three teen kittens of her own. I am going to loan the woman traps and she is going to get them fixed at the Corvallis Neuterscooter. Mom will be fixed tomorrow. The family will pay the cost of the spay, which is very good. They are nice people.

When I checked the trailer park trap again, before going to N. Albany, I had caught an adult all gray. She's a keeper, probably the mom of at least three of the kittens, looks pregnant again. When I checked the trap after returning from N. Albany, it was closed but empty. I asked the disabled man why it was closed and he said he had his son release a gray kitten. He didn't think it was a kitten. He thought it was the eartipped gray adult. Oh well. When I checked the traps again just now, I had caught another gray kitten. I couldn't continue trapping because I almost ran into a baby raccoon, very bold, coming up the handicap ramp towards where the man usually has food out.

When the coons come out, I put the traps away.

There are at least two more kittens, one gray, one black, but maybe as many as four more kittens still to catch. I have now caught 11 kittens and one adult. There are at least three more adults needing caught, the most urgent being the two adult tortis. They are likely pregnant again.

When heading to the trailer park a few minutes ago, I saw a pickup stopped in his lane of traffic on the street. I slowed down, and suddenly saw why. A cat appeared from the shadows beside his truck. I slammed on my brakes but it was too late. The cat hit the front bumper of my car. I wasn't going very fast at all at that point. The man in the pickup got out and came over as I frantically searched for my flashlight. He said the cat hit the bumper, which is plastic, knocking loose a piece of plastic breakaway lower grill, then rolled under my car and came out running. He pointed down a side street and said the cat ran down that street and turned into the driveway of a house. I drove the side street several times and did see a black cat in that driveway who took one look at my car, and hopped up and over a fence.

I popped the little plastic grill piece back in place and hope the cat survived. Another man had come out of a house also, said "there are too many cats in this area free roaming and lounging in the street at night." He said "I have a dog, but don't get me wrong, I like cats, it's just that people don't take care of them around here." I had to agree with that one. I didn't know there were a lot of cats in that little area, haven't done much door to door or trapping up that way, since the homes are more middle class, and you'd expect people to fix their pets.

Anyhow, the cat count trapped at that trailer in the last day is now at 12, with countless more to go.

I thought I'd hear back today from the woman who used to live there, who is taking at least one black boy, a favorite of hers when she fed, and maybe the Siamese, too, but I didn't hear back. She was over there with me for awhile last night, when I trapped most of the first batch of kittens, including her favorites, the black male and the Siamese. So it surprises me I didn't hear back, but she's been working very long hours and has to be more exhausted than I am now, and I am very exhausted.
