Union City, GA: KUDOS to Shell station owner and staff-- CATS need homes!! Socialized and will have shots and exams!
The Shell gas station next to the I-85 exit on Route 138 in Union City, GA, has assisted immeasurably in the care, socialization and eventual rescue of a resident colony of semi-feral cats over many months!! They were totally supportive of efforts to feed and socialize the critters, and catch them- and now we have SEVERAL ready to adopt and a few more on the way! 3 "kittens" (maybe 5 months now) - very social and friendly, a beautiful brown/black spotted/striped tabby named Taz, an all-black female named Shelly (for the station), and a mixed grey tabby and white male (Junior) - plus two approx. 1-year-old adolescents, Bibs (brown tabby with white "bib" and paws/legs) and Penelope (mostly white with black and grey-tabby patches), already neutered and REALLY friendly and purry and affectionate-- all 5 up-to-date on shots and ready to go, Rabies certs and all- comment here if interested, I'll supply pics on request, they're all GREAT cats, FIV/FeLV negative, really cute, healthy and energetic- and, yes, we have WAY too many already or I'd keep several for ourselves!

Shell Station Cats, Union City, GA- UPDATE
We have now caught ALL the cats at the Shell station except for a couple of roving males who are REALLY unsocial-- we caught the last Momma-cat and her two most recent kittens (about 4-5 months old)- and the Momma-cat, as we kind of expected, repaid our kindness and our providing her with a safe, comfortable room to stay in, by HAVING FOUR KITTENS........ so our numbers have now increased by EIGHT! There will be a very friendly all-black male (Magic) and an only-slightly-less-friendly white with grey-tabby patches (not named yet), all ready for adoption as soon as they're fixed and immunized (within 2 weeks)- and then, some 7-8 weeks down the road, a fixed female cat and four lovely kittens!!
The posters/handout idea is EXCELLENT- and we will do that! We know we aren't the only ones who were feeding these cats- maybe some other Samaritan would like one or two for keeps? We can sure find out!
THANKS
