An Old Fox's life
Well Its been a while now that I have been feeding a stray cat at my friends place. Mommy kitty. Showed up all thin and straggly back at the end of winter. I began to feed her and we also noticed that there were two more cats around. Soon Mommy Kitty began to get big and we were more religions about feeding her. Every two days we would arrive and I would do things and also put out a bowl of food for her to eat. She was always skiddish and I never could touch her.
Then about a month later she had 4 kittens. About two weeks later we began to see them and I was a bit saddened that they looked so thin and more. Soon they began to come and try to eat the food and we began to set out canned food for them. As they grew I had made plans to catch them and get them adopted maybe. My old cat Yashiko Kun is getting very old and Ce Ce is always beating him up. Still we fed and watched. About a month and a half later My roommate managed to pick up one and pet it a bit and set it down. Sadly next visit one of the other kittens vanished. I am thinking an owl or something got it. Still three remained and they began to grow and one was rather friendly it was tan and white. I was going to catch that one. Two weeks later it vanished. I was sad.
Time passed and they grew to a good size and the Mommy and the two left were always waiting for their food when we arrived. I was so scared for them when the Hurricane came through but they made it fine. We had just begun to feed them on her fathers porch that is about four foot off the ground and had a nice roof over it. I spent a day taking the old plastic dog house and cleaning it up and then putting in an old blanket for them to be in. It was no surprise to find them in it when we arrived to feed them during the rains.
During the past months I had begun to feed them by putting the food dishes into a mid sized pet carrier. After a while I could actually close the door on them and watch them eat. I never kept them locked but I was getting ready to take them when it was time. Too many times my roommate had talked me out of taking them because of Money issues. Well they were soon to be to big for momma and I know that fall is almost here and that means kitty's will be in heat and god we cant have more kitty's around.
I got paid on the 20th of the month or as my schedule is the 3rd Wednesday of the month. I found a place not to far away that does Spay and neuter for wild cats at a discount. So I Planned to catch them and bring them in. I called Tuesday and scheduled the two young ones for surgery. 7am tomorrow.. I then realized that keeping them in that small carrier over night was not wise so I went and spent 50 dollars on a Mid sized dog kennel. I also had to buy another litter box and more litter. Extra food and sigh dig out my small pet carrier.
A Few hours ago I went and fed the cats. They were nice and I petted them before putting the food in the mid sized pet carrier. Then when they walked in I closed the door and then went and got a towel to pot over the opening. I had to smile since they were way to busy eating to realize that I was carrying them to the truck and loaded them in. Arriving at home I carried them into my new shed out back. Its air conditioned and nice. I put the carrier up to the kennel and they walked in it and I then added a litter box and a nice blanket and the last of the food and some water. The food was almost gone so they will go without it till after the operations.
So tomorrow I get up early. go to the shed and put the kitty's one each into a carrier and we then drive to Brenham Texas and to the clinic for their treatments. I hope I have enough money for this.. Being on SSD and long term disability makes it hard to have lots of spare money. Donations are welcome to help the Kitty's. We have named them Pumpkin and Ginger. One is orange and the other Tan. I use Paypal and my Email is how you can send donations
