    New stray

    The cat room at my house is getting a little crowded, but there always seems to be room for one more.

    I trapped a cute little gray & white boy on Wednesday night. He had been feeding at the dish on my front porch for a few weeks. He seems to be fairly young and scared, but not feral.

    He went to the vet for the big snip and shots yesterday. He'll reside in a big cage for the next three weeks, get his booster shot and join the other 6 in the room and outside pen.

    The other cats are a little concerned since he has quite a yowl. No one wanted breakfast this morning, but I'm sure they'll eat tonight.

    I'll try to get a pic or 2 over the week end.

    Mary

    Yes, waiting patiently for pictures....
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    What a nice story! Great job! Please post pictures soon!
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    Welcome to the family Mr. gray-and-white-boy! Hope that you recover from surgery quickly, we know it was no fun but it's for your own good! Don't be yowling at the others, they are your new family! They mean you no harm.

    Mary, thanks for rescuing yet another homeless kitty!!! I hope things settle down soon and he gets a name!

    *patiently waiting for pictures*


    Many thanks to Roxyluvsme13 & k9krazee for my great new siggy!!

    Scooter


    Still scared, but finally eating. His first meal was Saturday night, by his choice. I've been keeping the cage covered some of the time so he isn't intimidated by the herd. He will sniff my fingers without hissing or swatting. Doesn't want to be touched yet. Last night he actually nibbled a few pieces of food while I was in the room.

    He seems to be a young guy, maybe 9 months to a year.

    Bless his heart, Mary. He does look frightened. But he'll come around, I'm sure. Thank you for being so kind to him.

    What is it with gray and white boys with spots on their nose?

    He's a cutie! I'm sure he'll warm up to you in no time.

    In this case I think the spot on his nose is a scratch.

    He likes to wake me up at 5AM every morning with his loud meowing. As soon as I serve breakfast, it's quiet again, even though he doesn't eat. No mad dash for the door when I open it; either he's too scared or not anxious to escape.

    A couple of the cats are curious about their new housemate, rubbing against the cage and sniffing Scooter. Only Ghost, the older male, has hissed at him. But then Ghost is my resident Old Grouch.
