Kitty Trapping Begins !!!!!

[Anikaca77]

thank you so much, i really appreciate it and so do the kitties!

Rescuing Stray Kittens is no easy task.
They are so fast, and wary of people.
That Orange Angel has his wings now, and has a home with Nugget And Karina at thier Mall.
You are doing such Wonderful Work.
We are sending all The Prayers we are able to.

Well I caught another one last night!!!!!

It was the little white long hair kitten and it's a BOY!!!!

I have a vet appt. schedule for him tonight at 5:45 pm and I'm going to see the dr. about my hand...it's really read today and it hurts but I'll live...

I'll let you all know what the vet said about him.

Congratulations on the latest catch. He sounds like a pretty cat that you should be able to find a home for - unless you need to return him? I can't remember, did you get a scratch or a bite? I'm very glad that you are going to see a doctor, I was worried when you said you just treated it yourself. Don't be surprised when she/he puts you on antibiotics.

Yeah I got bit and scratched. The bit on my hand is infected and around it, it's all red but hopefully it's nothing to worry about.

I can't wait to go see this little guy I want to keep him so badly, I just can't afford another one at the moment but I'd love to...

I'd get it looked at by a Doctor -- i got bit my my friends cat (he got me good too, right down to the gumline into that part between your thumb and forefinger), and it started out like yours (red and puffy), and went into a full blown infection needing antibiotics to clear up

Definately take care -- my friends joked with me for a while afterwards that Orange Cats must be carriers of Tetnus since they're Rust coloured

** yes, I know, Tetnus and infections aren't the same thing -- you may want to make sure you're up to date on that shot as well **

Good luck with all the kitties too -- its really fantastic that you're helping out all these little kittens!

And, after being nastily bitten when I worked at a kennel - if you see a thin red line going in ANY direction from the wound, GET TO THE DOCTOR!

That's the start of blood poisoning!

Well I went to the dr. and I'm on antibotic red patch has gotten a bit bigger but I'll live and I just hope it doesn't get any bigger. It's hard to type because it hurts.

So I took the little boy (Hermies) to the vets and the vet gave him some antibotic to clear up his cold and gave him his rabies and his other baby's shots.

I gave him a bath and put flea medicine on him and the rest of my cats as a precaution.

He's sooo cute I want to keep him but I did get a few responses so I'm just awaiting there replys now.

I'll send pictures soon.

Hermies (white kitten w/grey patch) is so cute!!! I want to keep him so badly....but would it be better for him to get another home if he could.

My co-worker told me her boyfriend saw baby kittens with a mom cat yesterday...is this ever going to end???

I'm going up there tonight if it doesn't rain to see if I can spot the mom cat and maybe trap her and get her babies and keep her safe so her babies don't grow up feral but we'll see what happens...

I just really want to keep Hermies

but I know it's just not possible with a small 1 bedroom apartment and I have 4 cats already...and is it really fair to my other cats....but I can't help that I love this little guy either...he's just so special.
