Eighty some cats fixed yesterday

I think between 80 and 90 cats were fixed yesterday at the Neuterscooter clinic in Corvallis. I wasn't going to volunteer, but did end up staying all day. But by the end of the day, due to a lot of lifting and moving carries, my back and neck were in serious spasms, so that I could barely move. Oh well, lots of cats were fixed.

Pekoe and Feather were two of them. Both were spayed. Pekoe was quite the hit with the Neuterscooter crew because she is so delightful. I bathed her again under anesthesia. She and the other two from that place had a coating of oil in the fur, on their bellies and legs that has been hard to get off.

As for the three ferals I trapped at that couples' house, who feed strays, all three were already fixed. They had called last week requesting help when four cats suddenly showed up two weeks ago. They had no idea they were fixed and figured they had been dumped off or abandoned nearby and found their open food source.

Two girls and a boy, a year or less old, spayed within the last four months, and maybe even more recently as there were tiny bits of suture still left in the suture holes of one of the two females spay scar. The scars are four inches long, which is noteworthy in identifying where they were done.

I would think "are these cats I got fixed somewhere?" But the vet I use most doesn't do that large of an incision for spay. Not usually anyway. So I'm scratching my head over this one. The orange female had serious tapeworms, so she at least got droncit for that.

Anyhow.......There was one other previously spayed female at the clinic and a previously neutered male the folks thought was a female. They said he showed up as a stray in North Albany.

I think it's ok when strays are already fixed when they find someone else to take care of them. Almost like progress.
