Here is the other female cat I'm keeping with one of the kittens beside her. I named her Bitsy because she is a little cat, even though it doesn't appear that way being beside the kitten. The kitten goes to the shelter Friday.
Isn't she pretty? Such a sweet personality... even though she is sticking her tongue out at people now. L_L (Ignore the nasty chair! It's been outside for years collecting "crap". Time for new ones.)
For anyone not aware, you can drag your cursor over the picture and see a larger one.
I have rescued and helped many cats and kittens over the years. It is a very sad and frustrating situation knowing that we can't save them all. When I see animals in a shelter I call them prisoners. Poor things! Know in your heart that you have done all that you possibly could and that is all that can be expected. We can only hope and pray for all the homeless animals out there. You have done well! :)
Mystic, have you ever considered using the 'Go Fund Me' site for help in getting your feral cats fixed? Maybe some organization like PETA might have funds for that purpose?
Feral cats seems to be a nation-wide problem! L_L I'm really lucky to live in farm country; I just place an ad for 'free feral cats', and there are more farmers calling than I have cats for! Our county also has a program where they spay & neuter then at reduced cost- for free in you request a certificate from a county patrol officer.
Maybe organizations like Cat Fanciers of America have funding available for such endeavors?
Seems to me, where there's a will, there's GOTTA be a way!Or, we have to MAKE a way?( Just trying to do a little 'brain-storming' for the future, when this issue come up again. )
Thanks for that info. I didn't know such a program existed. I'm working though a co-worker that works a second job at the shelter in her county. She is going to allow me to use their fund to get my cats "fixed" through their account for free. I just have to set the date when I can get them there. I hope I can make it this month... I think two of them are already in heat! slapforehead
