Almost Wordless Wednesday - Look At All Those Eartips!

*An eartip is the removal of the top 1/4 of the ear (usually the left) under anesthesia and it's the universal symbol that a feral, stray or free-roaming cat has been sterilized and vaccinated against rabies. To feral cat colony caretakers, an eartip is a beautiful sight to see!

Checking In With Gretchen

Here are some pics from the last few days. She is doing great and comes out of the woods earlier every night. She was at the top of the stairs at 8:45pm on Saturday night. The lady didn't know she was there and opened the door. When Gretchen saw her, she ran back into the yard, but didn't hide. Yay for progress!
