Tuesday, I drove all the way to Coos Bay and the S/nipped clinic to get these five Lebanon kittens fixed. I need to find them homes! They all come from that awful Lebanon area, full of strays and unfixed owned cats. A family caught them, one by one, using a rabbit hutch with yarn attached to the door, to yank it shut when a kitten entered for food. Their mother is an unfixed former house cat, formerly owned by a nearby neighbor. They are trying to catch her. And other strays including an apparently abandoned super pregnant calico.
I paid for two of these kittens to be tested. They were negative. They were so flea infested, they had tapeworm segments squiggling out their butts, so I also paid $10 per kitten to get them droncit injections. And I paid for my gas to travel all the way to the S/nipped clinic and back. In other words, I am practicing self destructive financial behavior to save little Lebanon kittens. But what to do? There is no help in this area for unwanted cats or kittens. There is a local no kill shelter but they rarely take in a cat. There's just no help out there, around here, except if little people shell out to do it. I am trying to recuperate some of the money I laid out (on a credit card) through adoption fees for these kittens but so far, have not had even one serious response. Crossing fingers and toes.
