Got a call at just before 9pm tonight from Carol, about this cat I was trying to catch last Saturday, saying she had trapped it and could someone come and get it. Eh, at 9 o'clock? Not sure where she thought we were going to take it, especially when I had said try to trap it in the morning so we could take it straight to the vets.
Anyway, Liz from Leeds Feline Friends pulled some strings and someone was going to keep the cat in a hospital pen in their garage overnight until the vets open tomorrow. So, with both of us just finishing work, I dashed home, changed, showered, and shot across to Halton Moor to collect the cat sans trap and take it to Moortown.
I have just got home at 11.30!
It never ceases to amaze me how volunteers will put themselves out to help a cat. I think alot of the people who ring the smaller charities and ask for help forget that we are unpaid and the majority hold down full time jobs, as well as doing the cat rescue work.
Let's hear it for the unsung heroes!
