He shared us with the neighbors across the street, who called him Lucky. He answered to both. <br /><br />Eons ago a wealthy woman left money for Friends of Cats in San Diego County. It is a big, ol' house where kitties roam. Most are adoptable, some are not. There is a cancer wing. I wish all communities had one of these. <br /><br />Hilary, there is a plaque hanging in Kitty Heaven with your name on it. <br />{{{}}}Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261337823341608496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-80615167173587741492010-10-01T07:15:46.053-04:002010-10-01T07:15:46.053-04:00Ah so frustrating...I can imagine..2 steps forward...Ah so frustrating...I can imagine..2 steps forward 5 steps back. So sorry to hear about the break..It is a wonderful thing you do for the kitties. I can imagine that they are very thankful for a caring hand. And they are beautiful. You are also so fortunate to have such good friends!

Locally they do have a wonderful program for feral cats to rehome them as barn kitties. I have two. I wasn't looking for pets, I was looking for mousers and these two are perfect. But regardless of whether they are in or outside critters, they still get the best vet care I can provide. They get shots, worming and if they should be sick or injured, I can hold both of them to get in a crate for a trip. It IS pitiful that more folks don't take care of neuters and spays. Good gosh, campaigns for doing just that are over 20 years old now. You would think people would have gotten the message.<br />Bummer on the sectional beam, but how provident that someone could fix it today!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-18729990880922006212010-09-30T22:49:51.312-04:002010-09-30T22:49:51.312-04:00Hilary, I've been reading a while but haven...Hilary, I've been reading a while but haven't commented much (if at all). First off, my heart goes out to you on the broken beam--so sad!. As for the kittens, what you're doing *is* wonderful. I know first-hand as my husband and I have the unofficial position of neighborhood cat catcher/neuterer. We love animals and there are a number of feral cats in the neighborhood. We get the haveaheart traps out once a year and take any newcomers in for spaying/neutering. <br /><br />We haven't been able to socialize any of them, mainly because we don't have any indoor space to isolate them, so we release back to the alley where we found them. We feed them and they have shelter in winter (My husband built a cat house that's heated by Christmas lights). The life of a feral cat is not good, but at least we can help limit the number of cats living that life, and try to make things easier for the ones who are already here.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822128010237199006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-57384708019851809492010-09-30T22:33:05.578-04:002010-09-30T22:33:05.578-04:00I have taken in a share of "ranch" cats ...I have taken in a share of "ranch" cats that my daughter would bring home from the ranch she worked on. They were all spayed, neutered and whatever else they needed when I get them and then sent to a friend who had great connections to finding them all good homes.<br />It was always heartbreaking to get these cats and kittens (mainly). Bet on the other side of the coin heartwarming to know they landed with their forever families.claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16572555442321120647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-12512856579866956162010-09-30T22:05:44.951-04:002010-09-30T22:05:44.951-04:00What a heartbreak, to see the cracked beam and the...What a heartbreak, to see the cracked beam and the cut-off warp. Ugh. <br /><br />We are farmers, and have our own share of feral and once-feral cats--all dumped off or wandered over. It's a continuing struggle to keep up with the spaying and neutering needs. And yes, we do feed them daily. We find they are better mousers if they are healthy. <br /><br />I do NOT wish I lived closer, unlike most of your blog readers, as we have quite enough of our own (upwards of 9 "fixed" cats and the two newest feral moms and their recent litters). There is a limit to what each of us can do. <br /><br />Best wishes. Lonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356390303823981248noreply@blogger.com
