This is the first white girl I trapped and who was fixed on Tuesday.
This white female, younger than the other one, was in heat when she was spayed Wednesday.
One of the three siblings fixed yesterday, this being the only girl. After I thought I had caught all the cats in the colony there, suddenly the caretakers call saying they've seen kittens. They threw a towel over these two. The other one showed up in the garage later, crying. They are an older couple but think they have seen a second gray and white medium hair female, who would not yet be fixed. I spent many subsequent evenings up there, squinting through binoculars in the rain, with a selective trap set, hoping to see this alleged second gray and white female. I never saw her and finally gave up. They are supposed to be watching, but I don't know if they really are.
Two of these kittens are boys, one a girl. They caretakers found them when they were only a month old, crying, two on the deck one in the garage. 
This is the fourth cat fixed yesterda, a Siamese mix, owned, from Albany.I took the two white girls home this morning. And, I took Hulk and Suzy to their new chance barn home, which is an excellent place for cats, about the best. Suzy was worried at first. But I put catnip in her relocation cage and actually beside it. Both cats were immediately greeted through the respective cages by a very tame male there, and by a curious feral calico, who is, of course fixed. I trapped the cats for fixing at that barn years ago. Many are rather elderly.
I think they have a great chance there. The people are very wonderful. I like them a lot.
I am glad to hear of your optimism for these kitties.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great place, Snowbrush. They have a good chance there. The only problem being I hope they can buddy up with other cats.
ReplyDeletewhat about the little kittens? what will happen with them after they are fixed? are you going to try to rehome them, too? do you have two, or three kittens from there?
ReplyDeleteFrom where, Jeanne? I have one kitten from the rest area, but she is not apparently related to the black female I trapped at the rest area, Suzy I call her, now in relocation at this barn. Hulks was trapped underneath the bypass bridge, on highway 34, and had no other cats associated with him. He is a huge Hulking gray male, on the roam, likely, for females.
ReplyDeletethe kittens in the photo - the ones the couple threw a towel over to catch them...
ReplyDeleteThe caretakers are keeping them, as indoor house cats.
