    Is THAT All???

    Only 368 cats trapped, etc. last year? I just tallied up last years cat/kitten count, and I know I didn't mark a few on the calendar, so it's closer to 370. This is counting cats abandoned and pregnant (includes kittens born), and TNRs, and a few that were in such bad shape they went to the Rainbow Bridge. I guess I have to speed things up this year huh? The first creature rescued this year is a parakeet someone abandoned! Good thing he was found before he froze to death. He's happily chirping away with the butter yellow budgie girl I netted last year.

    Only???? That's that many more out of the breeding cycle!
    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

    The best part is probably 90% of all those kitties were adopted out! Off to search for a very pregnant cat I got the word on. Hope she hasn't had kittens yet, as they'll never survive the temps here. It's been a 'toasty warm' 7 degrees today, and a possible Nor'Easter coming this weekend. *sigh*

    Is that all, she asks!

    Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful job, Jan!

    PS - where's Leslie been? She's been awful quiet around here lately....

    Oh, and PPS - I'll probably be sending those fluids out next week. I figured that way the deep freeze will be over with and there will be less chance that they will freeze.

    I actually was a little shocked at the number myself! I'll have to double that number this year LOL! T&P Leslie has been off to L.A visiting her grandmother, and just got back a few days ago. She's been working pretty late as well, so doesn't get here much anymore. No rush on the 'juice' either..it's very cold around here, and they should last for quite a while. They're fine to use as long as they don't get cloudy. I always have a stash on hand for kitties in need of fluids. No signs of the pregnant one, and I'm afraid she may have had kittens already. Doubtful they'll survive.
