    Hopeful

    We’re hopeful that 2020 will see more people become Feral Caretakers. It is such important and rewarding work. We’re thankful that we were able to trap Elf’s family and get them inside, ready for spaying, neutering and vaccinations – not to mention a warm safe place with lots of food, fresh water and TOYS!

    It snowed in Texas last Saturday, I didn’t get myself together in time to get a picture because those white fluffy flakes didn’t last long, but it was VERY cold that day and I’m so glad the little ferals are inside.

    The old Tom Cats are the only ferals left outside, Gus and Bob are not inside cats and have let us know that loud and clear on the occasions we have tried to persuade them to come inside! But we’ll keep their food and water bowls full and their shelters clean and as warm as possible. They are as much part of our family as our inside cats.

    Here are the latest photos of two of Elf’s siblings … the photos are not very clear, but they are not used to posing quite yet.

    Harry Houdini, the last one we trapped, he eluded us for 2 days.
    Little Dusty, a tiny girl who’s fur is not black but a dark brown/gray not visible in this photo.

    Heartfelt thanks to all the Feral Caretakers out there, and here’s hoping there will be more added to the ranks this year!
