Thanks guys, for the WB!
My kitties are all doing well (I did have 6 housecats when I left,
right? Miranda, Doobie, Tigger, Mythic, Bones, and Pinky?, plus one feralish guy
I couldn't adopt out, Little Guy?). Things have changed since I left last time
though! I'm now the happy caretaker of a mostly (75%) FIV+ group of feral cats.
They are a colony from a cemetery in NJ that was being renovated, and the cats
"had to go" so I took them to save them from euthanasia. Currently, I have 5
from that group, but 4 more will be coming up in a few weeks (I'm getting them
as they are trapped, vetted, and brought up). I had 6, but one died already. I
not sure what happened to her, but it's not unlikely that I would lose one or
two from the stress of moving a colony. It's a BAD thing to do to ferals, and
not recommended, but it was that or be killed, so I took the risk. Her name was
Harmony, and she was a calico. There wasn't anything I could have done, of
course, she was wild, and I didn't ever see her to know anything was wrong, I
just found her dead on a shelf in their storage room (they can come and go as
they like).
The rest of them are all looking good and have settled in (and Little Guy
is SO happy to have friends now!).
I also have a new rescue name, I'm now called Little Cheetah Cat Rescue,
and I re-did my website (I'm still not officially non-profit at this point). I
have an adoption page now, etc. I have one rescue up for adoption now, his name
is Zack, and he's an FIV+ boy, with pretty black spots on a grey ticked coat,
about 5 years old (owner surrender). A real sweetie. I'm also getting a GREEK
cat in at the end of the month or sometime next month, that was almost killed by
being strangled with some wire. He got away though, and the wire grew into his
neck, and had to be surgically removed (the wonderful vet donated his services,
several hours of delicate surgery). Anyways, I'm trying to raise funds to get
him to America, and once I do, I am sure with his sad story, he will be adopted
quickly. He can't be turned back out to fend for himself after all he's been
through, it just doesn't seem right to me (and he might get back into the hands
of his abuser). You can see all my adoptables on my adoption page, in my
sig.
OH, and there's one aggressive feral in the colony that I really need to
place as someone's outdoor cat (as the only outdoor cat), as he's mean to the
others in the colony, so if anyone has room for a not too friendly orange and
white male, he's FIV+, healthy, and all he needs is someone to feed him, put
water out, and give him a doghouse or a crawlspace to get shelter in. His name
is Rusty. He promises not to be much of a bother, and in return for a place to
live he will keep all the rodents out of your house and yard! he's available to
anyone in New England, or to anyone that can make the drive to pick him up.
(pending an approved adoption application, of course)
Ok, that's about everything on my end... what has been going on for you
guys?
