The weather today was wild. Pouring rain. Wild wind. Hail and/or snow mixed in pounding rain.
It was a helluva day to trap. I returned Timber, Snowflake and Gandi to the barn. He wasn't out yet, so I went up to the loft and put out a lot of food. I haven't seen the four teens this time, not Sunday and not today. I trapped them mid December, got them fixed and returned them. Hope they're ok and just don't want to show themselves to me.
It was wild when I was out there, rain pounding down, high wind.
Driving back to the trailer park, where I've been trapping the wind whipped my car.
I got more drama there at the trailer park than I bargained for. They got 8 spots for tomorrow at the FCCO. Not a whisper though about the fact a feeding ban was being put in place, orders from the owner, not the manager. I was shocked when I found that out tonight, when leaving, with 8 of their cats in my car. I'd been communicating with the manager too. Why hadn't she told me?
Once I found out, I begged for the cats lives, so they wouldn't starve to death. Most were born there. Isn't their fault. She was all for trying to talk the owner into giving them some time. By tomorrow, a good share will be fixed. She'd filled out the form to start getting them barn homes through Silverton Cat Rescue.
This all came about because of a vindictive complaint, one neighbor against another.
Not much said in the complaint was actually true either.
Trailer park drama I call it. And it abounds. But these poor cats shouldn't suffer as a result.
I'm hoping for miracles with SCR barn cat placement team. They are afterall Miracle Workers.
Cross your fingers. And toes. And anything else.
I don't know if tomorrow's weather will be as crazy or not.
Oh my. So sorry to hear about all that. Hoping the cats find placement. And for you to brave the weather like that.. you do a good job.
ReplyDeleteThat was an epic weather day.
DeleteFingers and toes crossed for barn placements. So sorry that the cats are caught in the cross fire of someone's spats.
ReplyDeleteIt's pathetic really.
DeleteSo, one neighbor complains about another, and now the cats will starve? Where does the owner live? Might be time to bring some visual aids to their doorstep...
ReplyDeleteThe owners live in California somewhere. The drama at that trailer park is spectacular.
DeleteOh no! My fingers (and toes) are crossed.
ReplyDeleteThe manager is quite kind, and talked the owner into giving them time, while I get the rest fixed and try to find them barn homes. It's sad though, hard on the cats, hard on me. So many people fed them there, they will miss their real home badly. I wish they all could have just been fixed and live out their lives there.
DeleteAll you need is a little time, and it would be shocking if you were denied that.
ReplyDeleteTime was granted. It would have been ridiculous if not granted. The problem only would have worsened.
DeleteSound stressful.
ReplyDeleteTrying not to stress out over it, but yes it is.
DeletePeople thrive on drama sometimes. Grrr... Thank you for your efforts, my dear.
ReplyDeleteEspecially tightly packed bored people. This time it really backfired on them, because they do love the cats.
