    No matter. She knows it now, and she picked hers!

    I don't do your type of work for a reason - I would bring them all home with me! But reading this, my heart went out to her on the Wednesday evening adventure, and I would have taken her in then!

    I am SO glad you took her in. She clearly is ready to make the transition. Good luck with her, as her future just took a great turn for the better!
    It is very possible she was a dump and just took time to gain full trust with us. It was very hard to leave her Wednesday, but our household is bursting at the seams right now and it just seemed impossible to take in one more. Although we have homes for the 2 foster kittens we still have Sable and now Trudy that need a good home. It's not so easy finding homes for the adults as it is kittens.

    One good thing it has gotten Kevin (and me) more motivated to update the garage area.

    TNR is hard since you can't save them all for housecats, but the thing we keep in mind is we're saving more from being born to a life of a feral. We maintain the colony by feeding/water nightly now for around 9 years. Believe it or not, there are some of the original ones still there. Normally a ferals life span is about 2 years. So TNR is a good thing!
    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

    Trudy sure is a gorgeous girl and I'm glad that you now have her in your home. Hopefully both Trudy and Sable will find their loving forever homes soon or maybe they've already found them.

    See? "NO" doesn't always mean "NO"! And, she knew it!! Guess you all weren't going real fast!?

    Good girl, Trudy!!!


    Her expression in the first picture says "Ha. I knew I could have my way with them!".

    How could you say no??

    Say no to Trudy? Not a chance here. There's no question that she set her sights squarely on you and Kevin. It does seem like she might have had a home at some point.Scritchies and tummy rubs to your newest resident!!!
