Newest stray cat from my porch... update on others
Well, I was outside on Saturday night talking with a friend and up runs a a gorgeous medium long haired orange kitty! This is not a neighborhood stray. I have never ever seen her before, and I know the strays from the area. She is stunning to say the least!
I've looked all over the place around here to see if there are any "LOST CAT" posters up, but there's nothing. I can't believe that she is not someone's cat!
I did take her to the vet yesterday, and she's tested negative for FIV and FeLV, which is great. What is not so great is that she is "WITH KITTEN". Sigh... we do not need more kittens without homes in this area. So, tomorrow Autumn (which is her coloring, either that or Sunset) is going to a TNR clinic that my vet runs and is being spayed and having an "abortion". I just can't rationalize bringing more kittens into this world right now. The vet said she's about 3-4 weeks along. So, maybe the people knew this and threw her out. I dunno.
I'm hoping that after the spay and all her shots I can get her into PetSmart or somewhere if she is tame enough. She's very wriggly and doesn't really want to stay still. She's very vocal and meows at me whenever she hears me pass by her door. Right now she's sharing the room with Calloway. I felt safe putting him back in there since she tested negative.
Calloway is doing well too, although he had to go back to the vet about his tail. The bite wound broke open again and was all infected looking. So now he is on Clindimycin (or how ever it's spelled), and I have to put betadine on his tail where it's icky. He's not happy with me and doesn't like being in that room all the time, but when I let him out he disappears and hides for 2-3 days!!! I think that's why his tail got bad again, cause he was always under something and the wound got irritated.
My sweet sweet Monty, my hugger, got adopted on Monday night!!! I'm so happy!! A little old lady adopted him and he's so happy. He was so scared when we were leaving though, and he peed all over in the carrier. I felt so bad because he looked at me like "What did I do wrong??? I was being a good boy, why are you getting rid of me?!" He was so sad looking. But after we got to he woman's house and he got to roam around and then sat on the woman's lap and got pets and rubs and a lot of scratchies by the ears, he was in HEAVEN!!! I think he'll be just fine! I checked in on him, and the woman said he just loves to sleep in her lap, and he'll sleep by the foot of her bed. I'm so glad for him. He deserves to be happy and pampered.
