Quartzville Roadies

 I have 7 Quartzville roadies here now. By tomorrow night, it will down to five.

Chaca gets fixed tomorrow, the gray girl, then tomorrow early evening, goes to a home with Peter Green, the massive most delightful boy.

Petunia, the new tame girl in the bathroom, caught a couple days back, also will be fixed tomorrow.

So will Thistle, the black, caught two nights ago.   And so will Peanut the kitten, caught in the night last night.  Peanut is super tame, very very hungry, like Thistle and Petunia were.   Petunia and Peanut will be up for tame cat homes.  I don't know yet about Thistle.

Peanut is a kitten, that's for sure, but maybe like 3 or 4 months old.   He may or may not be the kitten I saw three weeks ago, after being farther on up that road and then coming home.  I was going slow in the dark, looking for car parts knocked off by the deer earlier that evening.  That's when we saw the tabby kitten run across the road and were horrified.  We put out a lot of food, and later put out more.  Others have fed nearby and finally two have been caught there.  I don't know how many more there could be there.  It's good to be finishing this out.

7 right now.  5 by tomorrow night.   And hopefully Peanut and Petunia can soon be placed.  And the other three too of course.  

It's been a challenge but one that someone had to take on.  Those poor cats were left up there to starve to death by quite cruel people.  Cowardly too, to do that.

So tomorrow, four more roadies will be fixed.  Two boys being held in Sweet Home were supposed to go also, also from Quartzville road, but she couldn't get them to go into a carrier from the big cage they're in, so they'll have to wait.

So, with only four unfixed ones here and five spay neuter spots, I went back to that trailer park and got another female there who needs fixed.  By tomorrow, five will be fixed from that man's trailer, with another half dozen or more to go.

He's DD, but easy to communicate with and eager to get the cats fixed finally.

Chaca


Thistle, in the garage in a cage, since I already have five in the bathroom.  Peanut is in there with Thistle.

Petunia, the tame girl, probably related to Peter Green

Peanut the kitten.  He was caught last night and is one hungry little guy.
We really don't even know if there are any others left alive up there.  I don't know if the trappers will try again next weekend, if none are seen by others during the week, who go look but don't trap.

The last few caught have been so starved.

Anyhow I will get a photo of the torbi girl from the trailer park in the morning to add to this post.

Tomorrow evening I say so long to Chaca and Peter Green.  They will have a great person looking after them, a coworker of the lady who caught both of them.

Tuesday is Gleaners again.  I look forward to Gleaners day, not only because I easily get a week's worth of food, for working a few hours but because I like the people.   Last week, at the monthly members meeting, we got to choose a "prize" for attending, and they had some cans of coffee, so I took one of those.  They're probably worth $10 easy.  I was almost out of coffee, too.  One of the guys who does a lot of pickup of store overstock, which then needs weighed and set up for distribution, is getting a knee replaced, so I might volunteer for doing some of the work he does, just to learn it and because someone needs to.

  1. Such an achievement. Do you still see the student vet who helped with trapping?

    1. No, she's a doctor of veterinary medicine now (she graduated) and she and her husband moved back to Idaho, where she is from. Last I heard from her they'd just got a house and she already had a job.

  2. Well done to you and everyone else involved.
    I am so glad that you found Gleaners. It sounds like an excellent group and nice people is a big bonus.

    1. I really enjoy Gleaners. I got a new purse there yesterday. We were having dollaroma days, where members bring in things they no longer use, and you can purchase for $1. I wanted a pack of four Advantage II flea treatments I saw before buying time began but it went to someone else. My own purse is falling apart. I've had it a few years. I saw one in like new shape and got it for a buck!

  3. It sounds like you'll be spending more time at Gleaners. I can't imagine what sort of person dumps cats in a place where they would starve like that. There are some terrible people in this world.

    1. There really are some heartless people out there. I spent most of yesterday at Gleaners again. I enjoy it.

    1. Thanks Hena, I hope to find the five now in my bathroom homes quickly. It's a challenge but very rewarding.
