Meet Rusty, Beta and Mama Tortie!
These purrty kitties are the first kitties TNR'ed by the cat project in which our lady volunteers. About 3 years ago they were living at a plant slated for demolition and had to be relocated. They now live on a 44,000 acre farm! Mama Tortie is the only one who will allow the lady to pet her, but the others will get pretty close as the lady puts the foods in the bowls.
The farm is about 20 miles away from our house on the creek. The road to the grain silos, where the kitties are, is a 4 mile long dirt stretch. Our lady enjoys taking this trip alone sometimes, so she can crank up the tunes and sing. She can't carry a tune in a bucket, but it's ok cause there's no one around who might hear her and tell her to stuff a sock in it!
We had to show off the lady's cool new bracelet. She was inspired by Daisy to purchase one from the I'm Tired site. For every $10.00 bracelet you buy, I'm Tired donates $5.00 to the cause you choose, she chose animal cruelty. She loves that the bracelet is made out of recycled tires and metals - so fashionable and eco friendly!
This photo is for Elin in Malaysia!
This is Cal in November with the American flag flapping in the breeze behind him. This is one of the lady's favorite pictures.
We all really appreciate all the kind words, purrs, and prayers for Cal. We do believe they are working! The lady has taken him outside to walk around 2 days in a row and it really helps to lift his spirit. He's a different cat when he is roaming the yard with the lady. He is eating very well at the moment, better than he has in months! He ate 2 pouches of Whiskas and 1 1/2 cans of Friskies yesterday. His appetite is wonderful....... is it the medication, the b12 injection, the purrs, the sunshine and fresh air? Whatever it is we hope it continues to work! We are still awaiting the results of the malabsorption profile, we will post the results as soon as we hear from the vet. Thanks again!

The photos of the feral kitties are incredible! Mommy absolutely adores torties and thinks that ginger cat is one of the most beautiful she's ever seen! Your Mommy does wonderful work :)

Cal, we are continuing to purr so hard for you and we think of you everyday! We are glad it's working, of course the sunshine and strolls outside with mom are sure a nice perk too.
We love the pictures of the feral colony especially that one with the golden floof enhanced by the sunshine!
So glad Cal is doing better. Hope he continues to improve.
We think that such a cool thing your lady does...taking care of those feral kitties...they are very lucky to have a big farm to live on!
Mom saw Daisy's post about those bracelets too and immediately ordered one! It's furry cool too!
We're still praying for Cal...we're happy he's eating and doing okay! We love the picture of him with the flag!
Good news about Cal. We're so glad!
What awesome photos you have!!! That is a pretty cool bracelet too.
That is great that Cal is feeling better. I know I always feel perky-er after a jaunt in the wilds.

We have the winter blah's too and we meow and meow to go out when the sun is out. We've had some nice days but we don't always understand that the sun being out doesn't mean its warm. We are jealous of that yummy green grass. We hope that Cal continues to improve and gets all better soon.

That is wonderful news that Cal is eating more :-D Keep it up, Cal, you need to gain some weight.
Rusty, Beta and Mama Tortie have found a great forever home. 44,000 acres of farmland -- think of the mouse snacks available to them! Yum!
Have a good weekend :-D
Cal looks like a very happy cat in those pictures!
It is wonderful that your lady still sees the first cats she helped!!!
Meowm wants to get one of those bracelets!
Beautiful pictures today. I like the bracelet and try to find out how to get one too.
We are glad to read that Cal is doing better. We purr that he gets well soon.

Lots of continued purrs and purrayers for Cal. Mama's wearing her I'm tired bracelet today, too. :)

Oh, what a wonderful post! We loved hearing about the success of relocating the ferals and well as the excellent news about Cal!

We are glad Cal is doing well and we will keep purring for him.
Our mum sings sometimes when we walk around the fields cuz she thinks no one can hear her there. Sometimes people walk their dogs in the country lane the other side of our hedge and once a head popped over and said to her,' Do you have to make that @$&*&@* noise'.We won't tell you what she said, but she sings quieter now.
We are glad that your mom takes care of the colony, and that she found a great home for them. We are also glad that Cal is feeling better. As for your mom's singing, our mom can't sing either, and Tavi is a very harsh critic.

Hi ya gang of furries!
Special message to Cal ... So glad you are on the mend. I have felt yucky too! Been to the vet. My Mom's brothers kitty get the B12 shot & she feels great. I am gonna get one too. I am feelin better too.
Many purrs,

Ps. Our Mom tries to sing too & she loves your bloggy!!!
Those ferals must be very happy on that huge farm. I am so glad that Cal is feeling better and eating well. I continue to pray that he will get all the way well.
Hooray.Cal is feeling better. Keep up the good werk ! Lovely pics. My miewmie used to 'sing' in the car but she's sold it now so now she sings indoors. Sigh....
Hi guys. We've given you an award. You can pick it up on blog :-)
How wonderful those kitties had their snip snips done and have a place they can roam. Ferals need love too!! Your mommy is a doll to take care of them.
I am very glad Cal is feeling better. I will purr for a good result from the tests. You may want to try a "pill gun" for him. My beans got ours from the VET and it was only $2. It looks like a syrenge and the pill goes in one in and gets "shot" into the throat. I still have to get wrapped like a burrito for safety, but this works well for my beans. No blood drawn by me the last few times they've used it.
You may want to check with your VET about the Greenie's Pill Pockets. I was using those, and my VET said sometimes they cause allergic reactions that flair up ear infections and inflame the intestines. That is what happened to me and that is whey I have the pill gun now.
Of course I have food allergies Cal may not have.
We will keep purring and purring for him. We think of him all the time.
We just love the pictures and are so happy that Cal is better. Its always a nice thing to wander around the yard XO
Wow that is a really cool bracelet and a neat idea. we might have to go get one for our mommie now.
