the big kitty transport

So the count from last night was:


  • two feral queens, in traps

  • seven kittens, 4-7 wks old

  • three domesticated teenagers, one pregnant

Had to really work to jam three carriers and two traps into the Q. The world's fastest kitty transport, hah!

I learned how to give draw blood, manage a feral (a pillowcase is the trick), and administer the FIV test. Not that I'm practiced at it, but it's likely a good learning experience.

So that makes, in two days, 21 cats rescued. Fortunately, they were unlike last summers cats in that they were a hell of a lot easier to capture. I have another 8-9 to pick up next weekend, and the farmer will take back any that we cannot turn - thankfully.

It was heartbreaking to see all the young cats at MEOW in cages last night. All really sweet and friendly with no homes to go to.

Pisses me off something fierce.
