Wordless Wednesday with Rambler

Happy Monday, friends!We had a great birthday and we appreciate everyone who came by to help us celebrate. Check out the yummy cake our servants got. We had some nibbles and it was yummy. Don't worry, we didn't eat any of the chocolate.

Necklace is the long-haired brown tabby in the middle.

We need some help. Our servants spent all weekend trying to trap "Necklace" you may remember her from the video we posted last month. Well, she is the only remaining kitty in that colony (very sad story involving other wildlife). The servants are trying to save her and move her into our relocation enclosure. They will then be able to access her temperament and determine if she is an adoption candidate. If she is too feral, she will become our "garden cat." She came really close to the drop trap, but she is still too wary. They've tried lots of different bait....tuna, jack mackerel, herring, sardines, anchovies, kfc chicken, catnip, fancy feast appetizers..... Problem is she has already been trapped twice (spay/neuter and revax), once with the metal trap and once with the drop trap. It's just gonna take some time it seems.This crow would have been easy to trap!

Please send lots of positive vibes and somehow will her into that trap so she can be brought to safety. They will be trying everyday until they get her.

The Bird's Nest

Hello everyone!

The spay/neuter clinic was a great success over the weekend. 12 cats were sterilized and vaccinated. They are now up to 91 cats TNRed this year!! 5 of the females are staying in our foster room for the post op, but we aren't allowed in there. They are able to do more cats with the help of a PetSmart Charities grant! The grant will help fund the spay/neuter of 250 cats in two years. We wanted to show you the nest in our garage. Isn't it beautiful? Not sure what kind of bird it is, but there are 3 eggs and it was built in a quilt on top of the man's racing motor.

Happy Friday!

Another busy week has come and gone. Thanks to everyone for the get well wishes for our manservant, he really appreciated them. We are happy to report he has made a great recovery and gets his stitches out this morning.
On Tuesday, the lady and man drop trapped the momma cat they were unable to get for the big clinic a few weeks ago. They were so happy when she finally went in the trap! She and 2 other kitties (male and female) went in for spay/neuter on Wednesday and have been recovering in our pink room. Yesterday morning the lady woke up to the aroma of highly potent mancat urine! The house needs a good airing out!

Trapping resumes on Friday and Saturday for a clinic on Sunday. They are hoping for 10-15 more. So far for 2010, 79 homeless cats have been spayed/neutered and vaccinated by the BCCP!

Hope you all have a great weekend!!Oh, don't worry about Maggie May's sweet little leg, she just sits like that because she thinks it comfortable. Just one of her many endearing qualities! So neat to hear Felix sits like that also. Must all be part of being in the naughty patella club!

Happy Monday, everyone! Hope everyone had a great weekend!
We were hoping for a nice, low-key weekend, but it was quite eventful! Our man servant is a mechanic and he does lots of side work here at our house. Well, Saturday afternoon, he was using an 18oz ball hammer to loosen a tire on a van so he could get to the brakes. Unfortunately, the hammer's handle broke and the ball deflected off the rim and hit him square in the forehead. So he and the lady spent the afternoon in the ER. He had to get a tetanus shot and 7 stitches. It was so deep, the doc could see bone! He didn't pass out or anything so that was good. He was so lucky he didn't get a bad concussion or the ball didn't hit him in the eye or crack his skull. It could have been soooo much worse and we are thankful it wasn't! We've been taking very good care of him. He even brought us this cool bracelet from the hospital! Saylor likes to tote it around in her mouth!
