Ok just want some positive vibes sent my way, I am about to take on phase 2 as i call it, I now have to trap Zara and get her spayed hopefully before xmas is upon us, I am really nervous about this one, it is all new to me and not something I enjoy doing, but the end result it well worth it.
When i released Victoria from my care, she went and stole the kitten from my yard and disappeared with him , i never saw him for over a week, but finally they brought him out, the neighbour next to the bad cat owner talked to me and said she was worried about the kitten, as the weather was atrocious today and raining heavily, he was hidden behind a shrub basically but was still not completely covered and mama's left him in the rain, and he was crying a lot today, so i figured it is time to take him to the shelter, he is a bit young and i did not want to take him for another two weeks, he is about three weeks old.
He might have been getting unwell, we are not sure, he is a bit lethargic looking, but could have just had a nice feed, so its a wait and see game, he has been put with a foster mother at the shelter so we hope he is not sick and make the other kittens sick, he looks cute, mama is black with slight ginger tonings and all her kittens and one already foster are black and then you have this gorgeous ginger and white boy who stands out.
Sometimes things just dont go according to plan, it would have been good for him to have another two weeks, but it was becoming too risky, he is exposed to too many dangers where he was, he was fine in my back shed, just such a pity Victoria chose to shift him and not to a better place. To top it all off I have come down sick , nasty cold , sore throat, headache etc, just what I don't need right now with all this to do and the weather has really caved in and before xmas.
So wish me luck with my trapping this week please, then i have to find the other cats kittens, no idea how many there are and get her spayed and then I AM DONE for good. :)
