The best job and the hardest job

Right now Susan has one of the best jobs out there and one of the toughest too!  For over a week now she has been bottle feeding six kittens.  By the time she finishes it's time to start all over again!  Thankfully they are now drinking from a saucer and soon will be on to solid food.  The best part is watching six tiny kittens play and have them climb all over you.  I love visiting to get my kitten hit.

Her cat Gregor is being a wonderful uncle to the kittens.  Funnily enough it always seems to be the males who prefer hanging out with the kittens.

 After three days of trying to trap mom with no luck (we tried tuna, KFC, even a kitten) we have given her a break but Lesley is going in tomorrow morning.  She can't live in a parking garage, it's just a matter of time and patience.

Speaking of hard jobs, sometimes the job of colony caretaker can be one of the worst.  I feed at a laneway colony where there are 10 cats, and for the last few years we have been fortunate enough to use a resident's parking area for feeding stations and shelters.  Now the cats are being evicted and we have to scramble to find somewhere else, and that's not an easy task.  The thought of them not having shelters or somewhere dry to eat breaks my heart.

Time to go door to door and hope somebody will help us....
