Today was the day to round up cats. Except I didn't lift a finger to do it.
Sweet Home lady got the two adult females and two girls of the 9 total kittens. And they drove them down to me.
Then the other Sweet Home lady caught the last adult there. So far she's caught 12, but she and her family tame the kittens and get them into Safehaven or homes.
So I'm housing the four in my bathroom and Scrappy from the other situation is in the garage. They brought her over after they caught her. The bathroom four were crawling in fleas. I first dosed each with Advantage but that takes too long, so I got out the capstar and each got that. I also gave them strongid and a three way vaccine. It's cheaper if I do these things, when using the private clinic. With Scrappy who is really wild, I could only dribble generic Revolution on her neck through the trap, by distracting her with the other hand. It will kill roundworms and earmites too, at least. She'll then get the three-way vaccine at the clinic plus droncit to kill tapeworms.
I like this sort of cat round up.
Here is Scrappy from Sweet Home:
And here are the four from the other Sweet Home place.

My neighbor wanted me to ride with her to Salem, where she gets her meds at Keizer. So I rode along.
A hay barn is on fire along the freeway just outside of town. The fire started last night and is still burning, just being monitored since they can't put it out. They are looking for a car seen on security cam at the propery before the fire started. Anyhow, traffic in both directions on the freeway slows to a crawl for gawkers. I took this video as we gawked on the way home.
It's supposed to rain tomorrow and maybe Wednesday too, so that should help.
Home treatments for cats have vastly improved from when we used to rub some flea powder into them.
ReplyDeleteYep, hay can burn for days, as I remember.
No kidding. I remember the flea powder days. I imagine that hay barn fire will smolder for some time, once it stops burning. Rumors are flying about that business having a really mean manager/boss and extreme turnover so we're all wondering if it will be disgruntled ex employee caused. Could be just fb rumor mill though. Probably is in fact.
DeleteYay, for the Sweet Home ladies!
ReplyDeleteThey did well. I really like to help people who do the main work. So much easier on me.
DeleteScrappy looks ticked!
ReplyDeleteWas very! She's just ridden down from Sweet Home with her people when I took that. Obviously not a car cat.
DeleteIt's nice when people help out. You don't have to do everything yourself. Scrappy will be much happier once those treatments kick in. Too bad Scrappy doesn't understand that.
