Last week I posted about the plight of some abandoned cats living in a demolition site. I can happily announce that three of the four cats have been trapped thanks to the dedication of Lesley, Vanessa and Richard. Just one extremely skittish one to go...
On Thursday evening I trapped a cat from Denise's colony who was suspected pregnant. Turns out she wasn't but was female and unspayed. Her tameness at this point is in question. I also trapped one of my rooming house cats, who I thought was a Lucy but boy was I wrong there. Let's call him Lucky, but not lucky enough to be tame enough to find a home so back he went. I still have a few to do there but thankfully they all appear to be male.
Blue, the dental patient, went back to his colony but I've been unsuccessful so far in catching Mabel, who also appears to be in need of vet attention. I desperately need to finish restuffing the shelters but every day just flies by.
Tonight I'm dropping off some kitten traps so that we can catch more kittens for Susan to foster and then trying to find an injured cat.
I have to make sure to spend enough time with my guys, we are still dealing with Blinky peeing outside the box on a daily basis. Every day I still give thanks that Buddy is back with us, he's a delight. I bought these cubes from Petsmart, I'm a sucker for cat stuff.
I want to give a shout out to the Toronto Humane Society. A while ago, I rescued a footless kitten and his sister from a hoarding situation. THS kindly took them in and amputated what remained of his leg and neutered him, and spayed his sister. Someone who met them while they were being fostered fell in love and went in and adopted them both. That vetting would have cost thousands in a private setting but thanks to THS those cats now are taken care of and have a forever home. I also took in two friendly cats from that rooming house who have health problems and are out on foster. So much more than I could have dealt with and I thank THS for taking in the tough cases. I know some people are still wary of THS but all my dealings with them have been great and I know them to be advocates of the animals.
I have some exciting news, for those of you who aren't my Facebook friends, I'm turning 50 very soon and Lynn and I are hosting a fabulous party/concert/fundraising event in honour of my time on this planet and the 500 + cats I've been able to help. If you want details be sure to email me, it would be great to see you there.
Just to give a shout out to Toronto Humane Society - they are trying for a grant from the Aviva Communtiy competition right now, so they need votes. Go to www.avivacommunityfund.org and search for Toronto Humane Society. There are six days left in this round of voting.
