No Go Brownsville

 After I left a drop trap and a couple live traps in Brownssville, for them to catch their four adults, or try, they had no luck, for today's appointments.  I didn't think they would.  I went ahead and made plans for other cats to go.

The Lacomb lady with Laca, fixed last Friday, caught the big male she was after.  I named him Thor for the records.  He was fixed today.

He is a beautiful impressive big boy.

Then I turned to the barn south of Albany, for the other four.   One they'd had in a rather roomy cage in the barn, with her kittens, so they could be tamed for adoption.  So we got a small live trap into the cage to get her contained to go.  Barn owner had already caught two pregnant ones.  Then she had managed to get another female with kittens into a carrier from a cage but the kittens were in the carrier with her.  

She did not want to come out into a transfer trap but she finally did and she went also.  A vet student has been getting some of the pregnant ones in to be fixed at Rad and also finding homes for kittens and getting them in to Safehaven, too.   The kittens from the two moms fixed today are going this week somewhere, Safehaven I think but I"m not sure.

Anyhow, so those four girls are now fixed and back recuperating in a stall at the horse barn.

Charkie was pregnant at spay

Mama Gray Fluffy was also pregnant

Wild Thing already had kittens, now of adoption age

Sweetums too already had kittens but they are old enough to be without her now. 

I'll return Wednesday to hopefully help catch 20 more.   Vet students husband will drive them all to Portland the 5th.   I'd rather trap than drive 20 cats to Portland.   Just being honest.

I was hoping to get old Nemo shaved of mats today.  I closed the 2nd bedroom door sure he was in there, but he wasn't.   So instead I shaved off mats on Blueberry, who was in there, bad timing on her part, trimmed her nails even, before she got too testy to hang onto any longer.  She's a little easier than Nemo will be.   Life with long hair ferals.  They get older and don't keep groomed very well.
