Nabbed ’em

January 3, 2020 /

I don’t know if you all remember that Elf was rejected by a feral mom who had 5 kits … well, we didn’t forget!

We’ve been feeding and keeping an eye on Elf momma and sibs.

We borrowed a fellow feral caretaker’s remote control drop trap and put out some goodies and stood by the window and waited …

And soon enough, we had a taker!

Elf

Elf: Hold on Mom, that cat isn’t related to me!

Cat Mom: You’re right, that’s the neighbors cat … sigh.

Well, after hours and hours, we nabbed Momma and 3 of the 4 remaining kittens.

It took us another day to nab that last one, we named him Harry Houdini!

Elf Sibs

Cat Mom: They are a little shy right now, so I could only get pics of these two.

Aren’t they darling?

They are smaller than Elf, but they have been living outside so that is expected

I’m calling to make spay/neuter and vaccination appointments today at our neighborhood low-cost clinic … sigh.

I really dislike spay/neuter day, but it must be done – these kits are 6 months old and it is high time for that – Momma Cat too.

We’ve decided to call them Dusty (not completely black, hence the name), Lucky, Neddie and Momma Lilly and of course, little Harry – what do you think? We basically are using names from The Three Amigos and Lilly from Blazing Saddles.

Have a terrific weekend, and if I haven’t wished it already, here’s wishing you all a Happy New Year!
