Beautiful Kittens

 All five kittens from under the apartment building are caught now.

Look how cute they are!!!  Three orange, two black and white.  Only one a girl.  

The two young women caught the last one last night.  It was the only girl.

Four of them are being fostered by a radpets employee.


This morning, I went over early, with the drop trap and set it up.  Mom had been sleeping in the dirt by the shed.   It was freezing, with a harsh wind blowing through between the apartments.   Strange, I thought, since its supposed to be almost 80 today.  

I set up a chair and sat there shivering in the cold wrapped in the sheet I'd use to cover the drop trap, once mom came back out again and was under it eating.

I caught mom at 8:00 a.m.   Thank goodness.

Isn't she beautiful!


Last kitten caught--the girl!

I transferred the mom to a live trap.  I'd already left a message with my dental office.  Then I got a call, just as I was back out to watch the drop trap, hoping to catch one of the two big unfixed boys.   It was Crystal, who has been trapping at her workplace.   She is sick, had not left a trap at her workplace, but someone else had on Friday and now this morning, workers found a cat in the trap.  The poor cat could have been in it all weekend.

I told her I'd go pick up the cat.   I went then to take up the drop trap.  I'd have no spay neuter spots now open tomorrow for either of the boys at this location. I only have three spots tomorrow.  I now would have two adults already, and this evening, my Lebanon friend is bringing me her last unfixed male to take to be fixed.  She wants him done before she moves them all to her new place, be it what it may.

When I got back to the car, my phone had a message, from the dental office.   I have an appointment Wednesday.  I'm happy about that!

I headed out to pick up the workplace kitty.  Several workers were out beside the trap when I stopped to pick it up.  Very pretty scared little tabby.   Whew, I thought, too young to be lactating.  (I hope, haven't checked).   She can go directly after being fixed to Crystal's aunt, who has taken in the rest from the workplace.

I'm going to warm some wet food, with water, for her (or him, haven't checked).


It's not yet 10:00 and I'm done with work for the day!!!  Yay!!

We were forecast to be in low 80's today and tomorrow high 80's, then back to rain.   But  sure was cold out this morning, so I don't know about getting to 80.
