There's a stray/feral calico kitty I found running around here. Don't know how for how long. But when it snowed, I saw all it's little footprints in the yards...
ANYWAY, my DH doesn't want any extra cats right now. This one would, most likely, not be able to be an indoor cat, as it seems SO used to running all the time. The Cat Adoption and Rescue I work with ( www.katsnkittens.com ) is SOOOOOOOOO full right now, and they have no empty cages. So... I made a little shelter and put it under our deck. It is covered and warm in it, as possible. Then I put a food dish and water dish out. The Secret Kitty has been eating food, and drinking the water AND sleeping in the little shelter too!!!!! If ANYONE comes near--it just takes off running, so with the shelter being placed under our deck, this is perfect and much less likely to be disturbed here!
I told my DD and she was laughing and said, "MOM!! Is THAT why there was food and water by the garage door when I was there to visit you??
(Uuuuuuuummmmm.....yeah!!!!
)
I think, pretty soon though, when Heather or Cheryl (they work with Katsnkittens.com) are able to financially, I will have them get an appointment to get this kitty caught, spayed and also get her wormed etc....
--Meanwhile, it is warm and fed!
