Our latest crop of kittens

Last week Lesley and I drove to Dufferin and Lawrence and picked up nine kittens!  Yes we were actually able to pick them up thankfully.  The moms are feral but the kittens were born in a garage so are a bit used to people.  Michelle had all of them in her bathroom overnight then off they went to other fosters, Joanne got 4 cuties.  That's 14 kittens rescued in just over 2 weeks!  Now we need to get all those females fixed so we don't have to do it all over again in a few months!

Rainy day trapping

What miserable weather we have been having!  We were planning on a mass trapping today, but the weather was not cooperating.  We trudged out in the rain anyway, and managed to get three cats, and we also picked up the cutest little kitten!

Happy Anniversary Floppy!

Floppy (now named Bear) is celebrating his one year anniversary of living inside.  He showed up at the colony a few years ago, fought with everyone until we got him neutered.  Then slowly he got friendlier and joined the trailer gang.  Every day he would greet us and want to be patted so last year we decided it was time for him to have a home.  I reached out to my friend Carol who I know likes older cats and is willing to work with shy cats and she said yes!  Floppy is also FIV+ but she didn't care.  He now lives happily in her condo and as you can see from the pictures (he's the black cat) has made lots of cat friends.  He's a very lucky cat!

My dumpster cats

Thankfully things have been stable down at the yard, and Lily and Minky always pop out of their shelters when we come to feed.  We still have no idea how long it will be before development starts but at least these two have a new home to go to, thanks to Verena.  Of course when the time comes the hardest part will be trapping them.  We had to remove the shelters at my other colony and it was heartbreaking but I have to remember that these cats are resilient.

Lesley and I are off again to Scarborough this afternoon, a new colony of nine or 10 cats.  The cats don't seem to know that it's a cold spring, we already have six litters of kittens that we need to rescue when they are old enough!
