Crimini and Blackberry were two of three very very tiny kittens struggling in the homeless camps late last fall. The third, I never caught and allegedly was mauled by a dog in the camps at the time. I had to sneak into the camps to set traps for these little ones, in the dark of night, right amongst the tents of sleeping campers.
It was far easier, you see, to do it that way. I knew every square foot of that area by then. To catch three tiny kittens in a large area, overgrown in berry vines, piles of trash and drunks with issues, was not possible during the daylight hours, when there was just too much interference from people, dogs, and because these frightened kittens hid out from the people and dogs during the day.
The only chance I had and they had was for me to sneak into the camps silent as a mouse in the dark. So that's what I did and I caught two of the three.
Keni, Poppa's president, fostered them in Beaverton until finally about a month ago, they got a home together. They were both girls and were fixed through Poppa Inc. funds. There were only five weeks old when I caught them but had been cut loose by their mom, or their mom was dead. Now, they are in a home together! The photos were provided to Keni by the woman who adopted them. It's quite heartwarming.
I am a Cat Woman. My self-appointed mission in life is to save the feline world! To accomplish this mission, I get cats fixed. Perhaps my mission might be slightly delusional. This blog is a mishmash of wishful thinking, rants, experiences as I remember them and of course, cat stories and cat photos. I have a nonprofit now, to help keep the cats here cared for and to fix community cats. Happy Cat Club formed in 2015. Currently, we are on a mission to fix 10,000 cats.
