So Long Kittens

 The kittens left this morning.

The two boys, Beetle and Spook, will be going to a friend of the vet at Radpets.

I left them at the clinic this morning, with four other cats, three of them females.

I just handed off Safron, the little black long hair girl kitten.  I'd called her Ghostie, but my friend's sister wants her and immediately named her Safron.   She has a brand new cat carrier, brand new litterbox, kitten height size and a zillion toys.  My friend will make sure she gets spayed.  She's still too little.

I will miss them.  But....I have my bathroom back.  

The four I took to be fixed today at Radpets include Calypso, who is from a large Sweet Home colony, while Scatter and Rose, are teens from a trailer park in Albany.   I was going to give the Sweet Home lady both spots I had open because the mom and second kitten at the trailer park vanished into the maze of trailers and backyards Saturday night and were not seen at all on Sunday.

But....I received a call from an Albany cat loving man who had a stray female show up with kittens.  He was trapping the kittens when he caught the mom too, with one of the kittens in the trap.

So I gave him the fourth spot for mom and went over and seperated her and the kitten out.  The kittens are fat, healthy and darling.   But they are little hisser spitters, at six weeks old.  He still is trying to catch the last kitten.

So that worked out really well.   And Felicia, the mom, is being fixed today.

I haven't got a photo yet of Calypso, the young muted calico from Sweet Home.

We've got some nice weather again, even may get on the warm side today and tomorrow, no rain until at least Friday I think it is.

Last night, when I headed over to get Felicia, I saw the beautiful moon.


Peggy said it was beautiful early this morning too.  She saw it when she drove the muted calico she'd caught down early to me, to take to the clinic in Corvallis.

  1. We always hope that cats 🐈 find good forever homes. ❤️ This is the most important thing. Sweet photos of the cats.

    1. Yes, and good homes are hard to find. Sometimes I wonder, given the way people abandon, lose and otherwise end up with dead or missing pets, around here, maybe the kittens would have better happier lives left in their colonies with their family members, if at least fixed.

  2. What a score to get the mom cat and all the kittens.

    1. Well I didn't get the mom cat nor one of the kittens in the trailer park, only two of the kittens. At the other place, the man had caught five of the six kittens, and I removed one kitten from his trap and took mom off to be fixed. Hopefully he's caught her last kitten by now.

  4. It's being called a Harvest Moon here. Even though not really dark, it was very bright last night. Tonight it will be at its peak.
