My friend Steff who feeds feral cats at her house emailed me earlier this week. A co-worker of hers was at a bakery last weekend and a kitten ran up to her looking for food, of course she told Steff who emailed me.
The bakery is way in the west end and I've been sick and now very busy with catsits but luckily Lesley was going near there and agreed to check it out. I don't think either of us expected she would just randomly show up and the kitten would appear but she packed a kitten trap anyway. Next thing I know Lesley called and said she had the kitten! There he was in the lot and was so hungry that he practically fought her to get into the trap! Yay Lesley to the rescue! Then the challenge was where did he go?
Thankfully Susan answered when I called and agreed to take him, we set up a crate but it quickly became apparent he wasn't feral, he started purring immediately. When we picked him up to check his gender we noticed he had a bloody bum so off to the vet we went. They thought it was from diarrhea and that he's about 5 months old. We've named him Rusty after the bakery and he's a sweetheart. He's not hungry and cold anymore, our little pre-Christmas rescue!
