My Feral And Rescued Cats

[Kwik]

This is my Graycie- she was a 6mo old TNR kitten dropped off at my Vets office,my 18yr old Hemingway was very ill with diabetes & I couldn't bear the thought of no kitty to come home to when my Cheech would be gone- so I took this beautiful Russian Blue home and she is true to her name,most gracious sweet girl I ever met

Then there's Bella,a little needy Momma's girl,the little tortoise with beautiful green eyes

Sami- someone dumped Sami off in a funeral home parking lot(I heard a tiny cry as I was walking my 2 on leashes)he's a real Bengal( boy he's intelligent)....Sami was about 5wks old,thought he had one eye because it was so crusted shut from infection,his little paw pads were burnt,didn't think he'd make it through the night with the upper respiratory infection ,he could barely breath- sat under a towel of steam til morning with him- look at him now!

And then came Max- A neighbor has a restaurant around the corner and feeds a feral ,the feral followed him home & had a litter under his truck( broken down)Max was getting fed by this neighbor,the only surviving kitten & I scooped him up....he's a little love,I only took him to get him nuetered & adopted.....Christmas Eve the shelter was ready for him,I dropped him off,said goodbye and then Christmas Morning I had the owner of the shelter meet me there to take him back !!!!

Kwik Thank you for introducing us to your lovely feline family. They are very lucky to have you to look after them.

The whole family is lovely, but I'm a little partial to green-eyed torties! Wanna guess why?

Where I live it's Trap, Neuter, Return.
The local Animal Protective League only takes in kittys on death row from the local Animal Control to try and find people to adopt them. If you take in a stray they will spay/neuter at a reduced rate, give all necessary shots (including Rabies ) ear tip so it will be able to be seen at a distance and given back to you to be returned to where it was taken from to keep other kittys from moving in.

She is currently unable to post on site due to phone issues and misses us all so much. She totally loves that we are keeping this thread alive for her until she returns, she says that any and all positive posts are welcome so, yes you were right, it is a general place to post. Looking forward to seeing you here.

The best of both worlds: Being surrounded by encouraging, positive people AND being surrounded by kitties.

It would appear that Grumpy, now fully back to his old self, has been spoiled. Now, when I set out his food in the morning, he will walk up to it, sniff, then sit looking in the door. Now, he needs treats for an appetizer, at which time he will scarf his food down like he hasn't eaten for a week.

January is the same. Ask for food, sniff it, cover and walk away. I have to bring his dish out to the hall, leave it there and he observe it from a distance for awhile then eat. Other than that, he’ll eat from the same place which is on the kitchen counter. This is his regular habit now.
