75 is perfect. We get to near 90 this week 😔
The kittens are going on a road trip! A wonderful shelter in Connecticut will take them.
This shelter has a limited intake - just 25 cats. They do temperament testing to make Sure the cat is a match for the home. They have a super long and nosy application and have a 97% success rate with placement.
I’m making 2 neighbors mad because my cat-coparent was pushing a kitten on another neighbor. I told her I wasn’t interested but she did it anyway. They came to see the kittens twice, and mentioned that their other cat disappeared. I told them I wasn’t comfortable because they let their cats outside, and we are all right next to a forest. The poor cat didn’t disappear, it was killed. And the kitten they liked is the most shy and scared one, she would be terrified to live outside. For however long she made it. I hadn’t even filled out an application, because if they did they would have known this rescue doesn’t give cats unless they are going to be inside only. But I guess they thought they would just be handed a kitten. There are so many around here, they can get one anywhere. And they’d be saving the life of one that otherwise wouldn’t have a chance.
Suppose those neighbors are mad at me. Funny that the one whose mailbox I demolished isn’t. He wouldn’t even take money to get a new mailbox.
“I told them I wasn’t comfortable because they let their cats outside”
Bless you for that! When we were trying to re-home some feral kittens we found, you wouldn’t believe the weirdos that contacted us. In the end, we kept them all. We were looking for people who would treat them at least as well as we did, or even better.
One lady even said that they weren’t going to feed the kitten, but stick it in the barn to hunt. Sorry ... no.
You demolished your neighbour’s mailbox, CB? Lol I must have missed that. Were you just having a bad day, or was the mailbox in your way?
When do kitties move onto the next stage of their search for a nice, warm, comfortable, kitty-loving home? How nice that you did this for them, but you’re sure going to feel like your house is too quiet.
I’m glad you found someone to take the kitties. And the mom?
You are going to miss them so!
