Two More Gills Landing Cats Move On

 A Portland trapper made a comment and hashtagged it doing free work for the county.  She was referring to the county vacating on helping cats abandoned by people who move, left to die in an apartment, or told to just open a window (on 4th floor) and let them out.  That private people have to step in and do it, at their expense.  Or tiny nonprofits.  Not the big ones, for gosh sakes.  They are too busy fundraising.

Oh boy can I relate.  But not just doing free work for the county, the cities too.  Like Lebanon and that Gills Landing colony on their property at their RV park.   

Today, two more Gills cats, Ash and Clyde, headed out with Silverton Cat Rescue barn cat placement team, to a new life somewhere out of Linn County I hope.  I also took two more Gills Landing kittens, now teens, to be fixed at Alpine--Ducky, who was Munchi's only surviving kitten, and little Dusty, a black tux fuzzy kitten who showed up crying from who knows where.

Tomorrow I'll start trying to recatch Chatty and Sunny, as they have a barn home waiting if I can catch them.   That will leave only a handful of fixed cats there, who are not even around during the day and all now fixed.   Unless others show up.

From 30 unfixed cats and kittens down to 4 fixed ones.   You are welcome, City of Lebanon.  Is that big fat check in the mail?

The boys--Ash and Clyde

Ducky, a little girl from Gills Landing.  Julie, a Lebanon lady, is trying to get her tame.  Isn't she cute?

Dusty, a boy from Gills Landing, being held in Lebanon currently, taming fast.  He was fixed today too.

Fluff was also fixed today.  He was trapped less than a block's distance from Gills Landing, at the backside of River Park, a hop skip and jump from Gills.   He too is being tamed for adoption in Lebanon.

Beside those three, the mom of those cute kittens, Cece, was fixed today.   I found a rescue willing to take the kittens but by then, the couple decided to keep two of them.   So after I picked up Cece, whom they easily trapped, I took the two tabby boy kittens and the chocolate torbi girl up to a rescue in Jefferson.

This is Baha, a girl, the only one the Lacomb folks were able to catch of all the ones they have not yet fixed. 

So I dropped off those five cats at the clinic, then soon after, took Ash and Clyde up to Salem to meet the barn cat lady.   By noon I was picking up the cats from the clinic and returning them to their various people.

Tomorrow, the only cat related duty will be to try to recatch Chatty and Sunny.  That's a pretty laid back sit in a lawn chair "effort".  Lol.  Except it might rain.

That's about all I can think of for today.  Been busy with running around picking up cats, dropping off traps, nothing too bad, just tiring to get it all done.   I'm happy to have something to do.
