Last Rites. Oops, Last Spots

 Last few spots for spay neuter before the official break.

I took in five today.  I was going to drive over six.  The sixth is a friendly male a friend has fed for a couple months now, even had inside her place, but he's not fixed and she wanted him fixed.  

But this morning, harried and late, she came to leave him here and decided to go herself. So she followed me over to the Corvallis RadPets clinic.

She also helped me take in the other five.

The other five are three kittens from Lacomb.   A lady trapped them in her barn and is trying to tame them for homes.  Cy, one of them, isn't taming fast.  Lumpy and Velvet are.  Lumpy she so named because she acquired a large squishy like a balloon lump on her jaw and  below one ear.  Hopefully its just an abscess.

The clinic will check it out today and treat it.

The kittens' mom was fixed a couple weeks ago.

I was hoping the Brownsville folks would catch two, two nights ago, who could round out the five spots today.  Did they?  No.  Not a one.

But finally last night, with me there, they dropped the trap over Bob, one of the unfixed boys.  Wow.  One cat.

Tomorrow they have 8 FCCO appointments.  So far today--they have caught one adult and two kittens.   There are two more adults needing caught and 8 more kittens.  Lots to choose from.  Lets hope they can get five more of the crew caught at least.

So as a fifth cat, I took along a girl clear from Brooks, whose owner was desperate to get her fixed.   She has a bad flea allergy and is really skinny, proabably from worms.

I pick up the five at the clinic at 3:00.  In the meantime, I'm going to go down to the Brownsville colony and pick up the three caught and leave a couple more traps.  

At least they've now caught 4 of the 14 needing caught and fixed.   Better than zero.
