We did a lot of napping this weekend while the servants were busy. They trapped 4 kitties Friday night for Saturday's clinic. The clinic was for 10-15 cats, but the trapping teams were only able to get 8. Two of the kitties are in our pink room for post-op and will be released this afternoon. Their names are June Bug and Lenora and they are both young females. No kittens for them, yay!
Gretchen has come by for food every night around 10:00 or 11:00pm! We think she is living in the culvert between our yard and the next door neighbor. The servants are able to stay out on the porch and talk to her while she eats and she doesn't run away! We just wish she would hang out longer or even eat during the day, but she's still not that comfortable yet.

Sounds like good progress!
Good work with the stray and feral cats. We are impressed.
Awwwww Great to see the lovely Gretchen!! Me and Charlie also hope that she'll be brave enough to come over during the day - but she's there so that's brilliant!
And well done with the trapping and neutering - brilliant news all round. Hugs and purrs to Lenora and June Bug - gorgeous names!
take care

8 kitties is good! Well done! And we're so glad Gretchen is hanging around, isn't running away when your humans are talking to her. This is terrific progress! :-)
Progress is good!
Yippee, pictures from the new camera and best of all, a picture of Gretchen. At least she is still there which is terrific. We are excited.
And good job getting those 8 kitties. It is so great that they will not be having any kittens. You guys do such a good job getting these cats fixed.
Have a great week.
YAY for trapping more kitties!! And we're so happy Gretchen is coming around...sounds like progress is being made...albeit slowly!!
It makes me so happy to hear of kitties getting spayed and neutered. I feel like for every "unwanted" kitten that does not get born into this world, that makes more room for another kitty to find a Forever home. One day, every cat will have a loving Forever home. I just know it!
GREAT job at the clinic this weekend. Getting 8 neuter/spayed is fantastic.
Wonderful news that Gretchen is coming for food. At least she knows she can depend on food from you and has made a small step to return.
We've had 7" of rain since Friday. I hear you all are dry as a bone. Good grief...water water everywhere and not a drop to drink!!!

I agree--GREAT job at the clinic! Kitties are lucky to have humans like YOU!! And GRetchen, such a pretty girl, will come 'round...I jus know it!

What a wonderful picture of Gretchen! She is close by and staying there. She knows this is her new home. In time she will come closer, we just know it!!!!
Big purrs to you!
Keep trying Miss Gretchen!
Gretchen isn't scared of your servants which is good news - she will perhaps start to get closer.
Such good noos about the trappings ~ every op helps!
We hope Gretchen will start to get closer too.
Congratulations on the 8 kitties! You and the BCCP do such awesome work!
Good to see Gretchen is okay and eating. Hopefully she'll get more comfortable soon!
Great job with the clinic. Good to see Gretchen too. The names you gave the "patients" cracked us up, Lenora is our human grandmother's name!
It sounds like a busy weekend but with good results.
Maybe someday she'll trust you ...
Yer mom and dad do wonderful werk wif da homeless kittehs! We jus wish dat there wud be no homeless kittehs any longer. We know one step at a time ...

Fantastic news for the kitties who won't be making any kittens! You guys do such good work.
And Gretchen is coming in! We think it's only a matter of time. At least you have a firm idea where she's living.
WOO HOO on catching those kitties for spaying!!!!!
Come on Gretchen!!! Get out of the culvert and closer to home.
Wonderful news about June Bug and Lenora. We purr that you will be mightily blessed for what you do for these feral kitties.
We also purr that Gretchen will "tame up" so you can find her a good home where she won't have to be scared all the time.

Wonderful news all around! Hooray for no kittens for the latests batch, and double hoorays for Gretchen being comfortable with the servants talking to her!
Glad your Mom and Dad got a few more homeless kitties and it's good to see Gretchen come back every night...Hope you all have a great week...xo...Calle, Halle, Sukki
YAY for Gretchen still hanging around AND for the 'beans getting 8 more kitties! WOO~HOO
We is glad to sees Gretchen back!
Your mommy does such good works for the ferals. You guys are the bestestest!
We are always saying this, but thanks SO much for all you do to help cats! And we are glad that Gretchen is coming around to eat.
Hooray!! for spaying and neutering. I hope Gretchen will become more at ease, it would be wonderful if someday she could have a forever home.

This is great! Better 8 than 0. You guys are so wonderful!!!!
Yay for 8 kitties being TNR'd! It's so wonderful what your humans do for kitties!
And double yay for Gretchen coming around and staying while your servants talk to her! We hope she keeps staying around longer!
This is all great news - tell your humans to keep up the good work!
Gretchen may be a bit of a hard case, but with patience, I'm sure things will work out.
That is really GREAT news! Your hard work is paying off and so many cats will be healthier. YES!!!=^Y^=
Your beans do such wonderful and much needed work for the feral kitties. We were feral kittens once, Moe and I. Moe was tamed first and I was last of four and the only girl. One night I decided to come into the house all on my own. Perhaps Gretchen will do this too.
Purrs,
Mindy
Wow, It may be scary for those feral kitties to be trapped & drugged, but an even scarier thought is having too many mouths to feed & not enough food! Please tell your "servants" they are doing a wonderful job! Yay!!
We hope Gretchen gets more comfortable & comes to visit during the day!
Happy Monday!!
Nico & JayJay :)
That is a lot of hard work catching the kitties! Mom had a time catching me when I was living in the bushes... before I lived with her!
We are glad Gretchen is staying close...
You do such good work with the feral kitties!
We've got to keep the faith for Gretchen!
We're glad to hear Gretchen is still showing up, just wish she'd let your lady or dad person get close enough to take care of her. And yay for taking care of more feral kitties, too! Your people are so good.
Purrs and hugs,
The Kitty Krew
Yeah to Gretchen!
Yay. How wonderful Gretchen continues to come back. We hope she will feel more and more at home.
Gretchen is learning to trust! That is good news!
Slow steady progress!!
Great mews to hear...8 is good, good for the kitties and good work from you all!
