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
Saturday - came home from a retreat about 4 pm, and there was Charlene, who I know quite well, who works for Animal Control. My neighbour Trevor was with her, and they were trying to catch Rosie.
Looks like everyone is getting concerned about her at the same time!
Anyway, I told Charlene what the neighbours and I had arranged - and Charlene asked me what I was going to do when Rosie was done at the vet's. I have to admit...I guess I thought the couple would adopt her, though the woman believes Rosie HAS a home because she has been hanging around for at least four years.
So I really had no answer. I said I was paying for the vet - Charlene said she would be back Monday to get Rosie, that she would be cared for by a vet and put up for adoption. And she'll adopt quickly.
When I think about it - any home she has is leaving her in poor condition - so just as well this sweetie gets adopted to a loving and caring home.
Charlene says the injury sounds like an abcess that burst, since the fur fell off after I cut out the hair mat on Rosie's neck.
I called my neighbours and left them the Animal Control number, in case they want to decide to adopt her.
I guess that is it...I will keep you posted on Rosie's progress. None of us were worried about Rosie being PTS at all - the HS society here is very good for not doing that - but we all kind of got to like her.
That's it for now. Dear little kitty!

I'm just now seeing this thread. I sure hope that everything works out well for Rosie. Please continue to keep us updated about her.
Oh I am so happy about her going to the vet, hope she will get adopted and feel better soon!
Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!
