Spaying day for the neighbours cat....

[carole]

Don't worry bubs and the other kittens when i find them are all destined for the no kill cat shelter, where they will all be de-sexed and tamed and new homes sought, their outcome is very good, they would have been either destined to an early death, as most of the kittens we rescued had terrible eye infections which can ulcerate and lead to blindness so i believe and, or of course becoming feral and not de-sexed, that is why i am doing this to prevent this and thousands of feral cats in my neighbourhood, which are always hungry, fighting and sick, something I cannot bear to see., so res-assured i have it under control so far.

Your good deed for these kitties will last for years. Congrats and
good luck for the ones yet to be helped.

Yes well I have only done so much, there has been so many wonderful other people involved, my own Melissa for sneaking the babies, but most of the credit goes to Norma at the cat shelter, just heard the original five are now in a foster home, so there is another wonderful person to thank, our own wonderful PT member Lisa kuhio98 who without her donation none of this would have been possible, and even my girlfriend who has been the transport for me today (i donot drive) my hubby's support, and my nice kitty neighbour who is donated food and is donating me more today, gee this sounds like i am on stage getting an oscar and thanking everyone he he. (i really deserve one for my great acting job with the owner, i am so nice to her, but underneath my blood is boiling and i would love to tell her what i really think of her, but that won't get me anywhere will it), but truthfully it has been a combination of caring kind folks who made it all possible.

I could have just been like every one else who turned a blind eye to it , even though it was right under their noses, but i just could not do that, one I am doing this for the cats and kittens, two for the neighbourhood and three for my own cats safety as well, heaps of feral kitties are not a good thing.

The reward is knowing these babies now have a chance in life, pity so many have not had until now. I hope to post pics soon of Victoria, so Lisa can see her NZ kitty she helped and get some of the others when i can.

Great job, Carole!! You've definitely earned your wings, and then some!!

Carole, I'm sorry I haven't posted until now, but I have been following your dilemma in regards to your neighbours cats. I will withhold my comments in regards to her ( ) as I really love being on PT.

I want to thank you and all the others that have had a hand in helping you to help these precious babies and their mamas. Just think what a better world this would be if there were more people like you and a lot less people like your neighbour.

Bless you for caring.

carole ~ I'm late checking in. I hope everything went well with the babies. Bless you guys for taking this on. I'm so glad your neighbor has agreed to cooperate a little. You are making a huge difference in their lives. Keep up the good work!

Just thought i would give you all an update on Victoria's spaying, all went well, she does have a rather raspy cough though after the tube put down her throat, can be quite normal I am told, but i am a little concerned, hope there is some improvement by tomorrow, otherwise an infection in her chest may have started, hope not, she is a darling, not semi-feral at all as I first suspected, she trusts Melissa and I competely and is so sweet, she loves to snuggle and smooch, she is a very sweet girl, and if you have not already guessed it I have fallen in love with her, which of course breaks my heart to know I have to return her to that woman, I bawled my eyes out last night just thinking about it, and there is a knot in my throat as i write this, she does deserve so much better, I only wish I were in the position to offer it, mind you that woman probably would not give her up anyhow.

She is home and has not even come over to see how she is doing, i have kept her inside all night and today, but it is getting too hot in there for her and I cannot open the window, as it is along way down, and she can hear her kitten and might do anything silly to get to it, Zara the other mama kitten who i suspect is Victoria's daughter is taking wonderful care of Master Hissy spitter, the cute lil orange and white kitten, his belly is nice and rotund and his eyes are open now, he looks fine, I am giving them all good nutrition so he should thrive.

I will endeavour to post pics soon, just have to wait until Melissa puts them on here for me, have not worked that one out yet, so try to be patient , but i know that is a hard thing to ask lol.

PS Victoria is so paper thin, i know having babies has taken a lot out of her, but it is obvious she never gets enough to eat, she has bones sticking out, it is disgusting to me to see her like that, sure my two might be a bit on the roly poly side, but this is extreme to me to see a kitty so thin, that is owned, at least now she is spayed she might have a better chance of putting on some weight, and no more worms for three months or fleas for one, still if i can catch her now, i might beable to put a stop to that misery for her, but this woman is talking about leaving in the new year, and that poor girl and the others are destined to be with her, It truely breaks my heart now that i know and love this wee girl.
