I will lead with some great news, after four weeks and four foster homes, Petunia was adopted yesterday and has gone to her forever home. A very nice couple with no other pets took her home, I hope they will spoil her and lavish her with love, she deserves it. I find the adoption process very stressful, trusting that strangers will take good care of a cat you have grown to love and feel responsible for.
It's been busy with the new east end colony, Natalia is amazing and we managed to get 9 kittens out of there this week! Three were already adopted and the rest are being fostered. I can't figure out what happened there, they are all really tame, maybe they were dumped but there are multiple litters. The rescue ledger from this week shows 9 kitten rescued and 2 TNRs on the plus side, on the minus side, a week's pay in vet bills and a bad head cold.
On Friday I went to the vet with 8 kittens, how crazy is that.

And still the calls for help keep coming in, I will have to figure out how to set some limits. Maybe after this year I will change my phone number and email and just go back to taking care of my ferals. I love this work, it feels like a calling, but this pace is unsustainable. I have time for nothing else but how do you turn away from these faces, that is the dilemma.
