Thread: Kitty Trapping Begins !!!!!

    Kitty Trapping Begins !!!!!

    Well tonight was my first night of trapping the strays, unlike before when I ran around with my net looking like a silly person.

    The night started off pretty sad. The orange kitten I found a home was dead. I could of saved it the other day when I stopped by to fill up the food, and I tried to catch him/her but she/he moved too fast. I'm not sure what happened but I don't want to think about it right now. I'm too upset. I feel bad for having to tell this guy that his cat died. I'm going to try to push my last one that is left, it's an all white one with a grey patch on his/her head, so we'll see.

    Now to start with the good news, I caught two cats tonight, one the other orange/white one and it's going to a very good home, it's actually where JD lives my other saved kitty.

    I'm so happy about him already getting a home, I'm going to take him/her to the vets with the help of Cathy's money and get him checked over, I noticed tonight when I went to pick him out of the trap he has a bunch of scabs over his back so hopefully he will heal there poor thing must of been bitten by a ton of fleas...that's the only thing I can think of.

    Next one I caught is an tiger striped one. Not sure if it's a girl or boy yet but I'll find out tomorrow. The poor thing was so upset in the cage that it got a bit of a bloody nose but he calmed down once I put a blanket over it's cage.

    Well that's it for now, I attached the two pictures of the ones I got tonight

    Talk to you all soon,

    Melissa

    Awwwww!!! They're both adorable. I hope that they both have healthy check ups and I'm so glad that the orangie already has a new home. Hopefully the man that was going to adopt the kitten that died will be able to adopt another kitten instead. You're doing wonderful work. We need more people like you in this world.

    It is not your fault, maybe it was sick. I am sure the guy will understand. At least the other ones are safe! You are doing a great job! Keep up the good work!

    Thanks, and also I'm praying for you and all your little ones...also speaking of getting bit I got scratched pretty good by the orange one but at least it will have a home tomorrow or thursday night depending when the vet can see him/her..

    I wrapped up my scratch so I should be good. I'm sure I'll get more before I'm done with this.

    Gotta run bye

    Did you put any medication on it? I got shingles from getting bit by my grandma's cat about six months back. Be careful please! Keep us posted, okay?

    The orange kitty is a boy! He already has a home; he's going to live with JD my other white/grey kitten I saved about a month ago. I called them last night and they said they would love to rescue another one. I got him to the vets this morning and the vet said that he is very anemic but will recover with the proper food and water, she estimated him to be about 9-10 weeks old.

    This little orange kitten was able to get his first kitten shots today with your money and the vet gave me a free revolution to put on the cat after he's had a good bath.

    I'll let you all know about the other cat (Felix) what sex it is and how it's doing.

    I am sorry to hear that the orange won died. Don't blame yourself. You are doing all you can to give them a chance at a better life where they are loved and taken care of. The other two are beautiful! Keep up the good work.

    Melissa - how very heartening to hear that you have help and that you are able to go ahead with the very important TNR or, in your case so far, TNA (adopt). It's very sad about the little orange kitten, perhaps it was extreme anemia from the fleas. The orange one you caught has lovely deep coloring and I bet the family that adopts him are going to be thrilled. Congratulations on hanging in on a situation that looked hopeless at times. Will you keep an eye on the area as other strays come in to take the place of those you have taken?

    Melissa,

    Yeah, I'm sorry about the orange one too. I just hope that the person who wanted that one doesn't hate me for not taking it sooner, I would of, if I had the space to put it but at least I'm going to be giving away this other sweet orange kitten that will be spoiled and well taken care of.
