Things I am really bad at, part one.
1) TNR. If a cat has a glimmer of gentleness in their eyes, I have the absolute hardest time releasing them back into the harsh life of the streets.
For over a month now I’ve been helping an amazing lady TNR cats that she feeds. 3 older kittens, a tom, and lastly…. the mama to the 3 kittens. Two days ago we trapped the mama & she was spayed yesterday. I’ve been told she was once owned by a neighbors son, but she’s been outside on the street getting pregnant & surviving the best she can. 😞
Well. Last night Mr. Sweetwhisker widened the opening on a kennel/cage that a foster of mine donated, so a cat can go to each level with ease. We put this mama cat in there in the shed to recover in the warmth. I’m calling her “Sugar” because she’s so sweet. She is confused and uncertain, but sweet. She really loved when my son spent time with her this evening. She was rolling over and showing her belly 🥹 I wonder if he reminds her of her previous “owner”.
She is missing a lower canine (what’s up with all these cats missing canine teeth lately!?) & a few of her front teeth but seems healthy otherwise.
I hope we can find the space for her to stay while she finds her forever home. Hopefully we get some adoptions 🥹🩶
