The lady's TNR group raised $1180.00 at the yard sale on Saturday! YAY!
Gretchen is starting to come around a little. She didn't eat for 3 days after being trapped, vetted and transferred to the enclosure. She is so frightened and just doesn't understand what is going on. The man took his mom out to eat on Saturday to one of our fine local seafood restaurants and brought home some leftover bluefish and shrimp for Gretchen. She ate it all!! 
We hope she starts feeling more comfortable with her new surroundings very soon. At least she has moved out from behind the toolbox and has gotten in her dogloo. That is major!! And the servants can get in the enclosure with her and rub her. She seems very sweet, just very scared. Oh and by the way..... Gretchen was microchipped at her appointment last week, just in case she becomes our garden cat.

Big purrs out to Gretchen, poor girlie. If she only realized this is for the best thing for her right now. Nice fishy supper!!

More good news! Congratulations!
your pal,

We hope Gretchen will become less scared!! Congrats on the TNR group raising so much $$$!!
Gretchen is so pretty! I hope she will start to become more confident and relaxed soon!
Morning all down at the Creek.
Gretchen will soon realize just HOW lucky she is...especially after that very nice dish of seafood.
Happy Monday

LOL, sounds like Gretchen has a new home. That is so great. She likes that blue fish.
Listen, I need some of that blue fish. The one and only cat here that I cannot catch, has a growth on her ear that looks a lot like cancer and I need to get her to the vet. I can pat her on her neck and I tried to scruff her this morning to put her in the carrier, and she got away. So now I am starting over. She is like Gretchen, she knows about that carrier. I might try some shrimp.
Glad Gretchen is coming around and glad that the man took the woman out to eat. Very nice of him.
Have a great week.
She will be fine, she is a lucky catgirl!
Wonderful family that you have dear friends,
purrs and love

Excellent news!!!
Great news re. the yard sale!
Lots of purrs for Gretchen. We're glad she's slowly coming around and hope every day is better and better!
Sweet Gretchen, this Bluefish thing is just the beginning in a spoiled life of love, just you wait, you'll become a lapkitty someday!
Sending purrs for Gretchen - we're pleased she has moved into the cosier dogloo - it must show that you are gaining her trust.
We had never heard of blue fish before - still Gretchen seemed to like it!
We've got Nigel working on some extra special purrs for Gretchen....he too was so scared when he was first caught and it took him months to settle down. Now he's a big ol' purr ball.
We are happy she is safe and healthy.
Great news! That's a good bit of money, it should help a lot.
I'm glad she is settling in well so far.
Those green papers will go a long way to help! We're glad Gretchen ate all that fish. We hope she settles down soon.

Poor kitteh... it is very scary to have to go through such a big change. ::hugs::
Yay Gretchen! We're glad she is calming down and that she is eating. xoxo
Small steps ... my feral was always shy but warmed up to me eventually.
YAY for the garage sale!!!!!!!!!!
Gretchen is such a sweetie....we hope that she will overcome her shyness and become your garden cat!!!
Gretchen is very lucky to have found such patient humans to let her get used to her new space.
What a great garage sale...congratulations! Gretchen is just adorable. She will be bounding around all over you before long!
We're so glad to hear Gretchen is starting to adjust to her new surroundings...Your Mom did such a great job with her already...Hope you all have a happy week sweet friends...xo...Calle, Halle, Sukki
We are so happy to hear this news about Gretchen! And that feast she endured??? WOW~! She's not going to want to go anywhere!
Hmmmm, we think Gretchen may have heard the "stew pot" rumor that Scouty heard. It'll take time and she'll realize where that yummy fish is coming from!
RE: spraying--Our vet has prescribed "Clomicalm" 5 mg for Maui's territorial spraying. It's made for dogs, but we've had excellent results with it...in male cats. Females, not so much. The downside is he DOES act a little doped; but it's that or the aggressive sprayer.
Usually 6 weeks has done the trick for us. We have an intact male roaming around (gonna "fix" that!)that's riled Maui up and he started spraying again this spring after almost a year of being a good boy.
This is all great news! Gretchen must already know she has lucked into something, after that dinner of bluefish and shrimp! It'll take time, of course, but it sounds like she will gradually adjust. Your humans are kind, patient people and I think she senses that.
Great news about the yard sale! Glad to hear that Gretchen is starting to settle in. Thank you for taking care of her!
Wow lots of great news! That is so awesome! We are glad Gretchen is starting to feel comfortable and that you were able to raise so much for the TNR program!
We will be purring for her to warm up to everyone there at the creek!!!
Gretchen looks like a lovely kitty, we know she'll come around with more sweet attention from your man and lady. We're sending her some purrrrrrrs. And great news about the yard sale!!
Purrs and hugs,
The Kitty Krew
Oh my, I bet she is scared but hopefully it won't be too long before she comes around!
Great news on the fund raiser!
Oh we know she is a bit scared but in time she will discover she doesn't need to be...

Concatulations on the fundraiser! That's great!
We're so glad that Gretchen is starting to get settled in and that she ate the fish! We hope she feels more comfortable soon and realizes she's in a wonderful place!
Such great news. We hope Gretchen will feel more safe and comfortable real soon.
Gretchen just needs more time, patience and understanding. Sounds like you guys are doing just that. Have a great week!
I think Gretchen is a pretty girl! I know she'll come around---and I betcha she knows life is good!
Hmm...can I come live by the Creek...?

Sheesh! Gretchen, I know exactly what you are going through - When I got to my forever home I was so scared I ran from everyone! My Mom was very patient & let me come to her on my own terms, I'm forever grateful for that!
Sounds like your Mom & Dad are doing the same thing for you - give 'em a chance! They won't disappoint!
Good luck!
Nico & JayJay :)
Ooh, fish an shrimp? That is a good welcome into the house!
We just know Gretchen is going to love living in your garden! Hooray for Gretchen!
Poor little kitty, I'm glad to hear that she okay!

I know Gretchen is scared, but we are very happy for her. She'll come along. Just keep frying up some blue fish!
