Oops! I forgot a step!

I drove this cat all the way to the sponsor's home; a 45 minute drive. First thing she says to me is: did you make sure it is not a nursing mom?

DUH!

So of course, it IS a nursing mom. Had to drive her back and release her. Hope her babies are OK, she was only missing for about 4 hours.

So we have TWO litters out there somewhere!

Update on the 5 we caught end of the day Wednesday: 1 pregnant female, 4 males.

So our sponsor has 3 females recovering, and 5 males in her basement in cages. She is being so helpful, holding on to the males while we try to figure out what we are doing. Normally, the males get released that same night!
And thus far, we have prevented the arrival of 16 more kittens into this colony!

I mentioned to our sponsor that PT'ers wanted to see photos. She laughed and told me to take a photo of my Ebony and post it for you! She said 7 of the 8 look like Ebony, an all black cat, neither she nor the vet has been able to tell them apart.

What an experience.
