Mistakes were made

Trap Neuter Release. Find homeless cats, trap them. Get them fixed and vaccinated against rabies. Put them back where they were found. This stops them from breeding out of control.

As do I.

The only cats that lick the tin are the ones in my kitchen afterwards I have removed all the tasty fishes from it. This happens more often than I like to admit.

I know that you are less offended by cat urine smell if you have Toxoplasmosis gondi, the most successful parasite on Earth, but I’m starting to be concerned that infection also makes you crave sardines.

The eyebrows are pretty epic. Not as good as Ben Shapiro or Thufir Hawat. But pretty good for a kitten.

The shelter supplies panacur and azithromycin. Feral kittens need a lot of that stuff. But not sardines. We recently got a donation of sardines from the local SPCA. That was all awesome. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t eat any of them except for the ones that were left over after I baited the traps. My wife does not understand why I will totally eat any leftover sardines.

They can’t all be winners

I wish I could do more. There are three factors that severely limit my abilities.

1. available free spots at the shelter fix cats for free.
2. gas money. I frequently have to do three or four trips on the one day that free spots are available at the shelter.
3. I own four traps. On a good day I can borrow three more from the SPCA. I need more traps.

I guess if I get a 4th it would be that sardines aren’t free and I use those to bait traps. But I don’t really count that one because sardines are dirt cheap. If there’s anything left over from a tin I get to eat them.

I can’t change the government. I can’t change gas prices. I need more traps.

I am from the internet. I’m here to help.

Ovaries in both cases. But close enough.

Those are the ones that they send to me. I specialize in the extra spicy and trying to give them a chance of being adoptable.

Sometimes these feral kittens get me. And I always wonder if their little razor teeth are going to be the one that causes a blood-borne pathogen that will end me because I don’t have insurance.

I am not a rescue. All of my fosters belong to either the local shelter or SPCA. They hand me the ones that nobody else can handle to see if I can make them adoptable. But I’m in North central South Carolina. If that’s relatively close to you, you could message me and I’ll let you know who this belongs to and will have it up for adoption when it’s ready.

She stayed with me like that for about 30 minutes without trying to get away. I’m beginning to think she just has resting angry kitten face.

She’s getting there. She hasn’t to tried to bite me in a week.

Get that vitamin D. But don’t pray to the sun. Pray to Joe Pesci.

Always has been

We prepared ourselves for years. Fearlessness is a key trait of curiosity. And we all know about the cat curiosity and lethality correlation index.

We found him in a crate at the shelter. We found out later that “free barn cats” is friendly speak for “we are a capacity and if this cat doesn’t leave one way they’re going to get euthanized.” He got five extra years to adventure. He had a good life.

Currently at 11 personal, 1 forever foster, 1 feral beastie that is making good progress and will go on the kitten railroad to be adopted once she is a loving purr machine.
