That Was Yesterday

The lady has been putting food out for a kitty behind the shop where she works. She had never actually seen the kitty, but the kitty had been seen by some of her coworkers and the food is gone everyday. Yesterday when she went to put the food out for the kitty, she saw a kitten! She went back inside so they could eat and then checked on them about 30 minutes later. After a little searching, she found the momma kitty and the kitten laying under some brush and vines. The momma ran off, but the kitten did not. The lady did not try to approach the kitten, but stood there are talked to it a for a little while, trying to get it used to her voice.
Her plan is to trap the momma kitty, have her spayed, ear-tipped and vaccinated and put her back out behind the shop. The area is fenced in and quite safe, plus she will be fed very well in addition to the mice she probably eats. The kitten looks to be around 10 weeks old and she plans on taking him/her in as a foster until a home can be found. She is hoping the kitten is not past the taming threshold since it is still quite young.

Trapping will being on Monday, wish her luck!
Lets all doing our very best purring for Mazie Grace today as she has her eyeball operations. We are also sending you lots of comforting vibes!

We hope the trappng goes well for the mom cat - it will be traumatic but best for the long term to be neutred etc. We hope you're able to find the kitten a wonderful forever home too.
Only one kitten seems unusual - might there be any more hiding about the place?

Well done. Mom said do please keep us informed.

good luck with the trapping.... my sister lives in a small British Columbia community that does the same thing. She already has 6 cats and couldn't take on another..so had a stray she calls Greygrey "fixed". He is now known as Feral #223 but, she still calls him Greygrey...and puts out food for him. He roams an area of about a mile and several homes.... everybody leaves goodies for him... at the moment though he has a bad leg. He must have tangled with a coyote....

The very best of luck with the trapping. Those two lucky cats will be happy your sweet mum found you.
I went to see your friend to wish her well for the operation, she is a sweet kitty.

Hugs GJ xx

Good luck with the trapping! Angel was ten weeks old when she was trapped and tamed up fine. Sounds like a good situation for the Momma cat, nice and safe.
