We got Mum... just in the nick of time!

After trying to get Mum for the last 5-6 days, I finally got her on Tuesday night after she went into the shelter where she sleeps in the garden and I managed to butt then trap up again the opening of the box she sleeps in. She shot out of the box and into the trap. Boom. Caught. earlier in the evening she had been in the trap twice to eat, but not far enough in for me to release the door and be assured of catching her.

I dropped her off at White Cross Vets on Tuesday night for the operation on Wednesday, but come the morning, one cat had turned into 3 and by the middle of the day she'd had 6 kittens. sadly one passed away> The good enws she is really friendly and we will not be putting her back, but re-homing both her and kittens at some point. It's a really good feeling to know we literally caught her in the nick of time, one more night outdoors and even fewer of those kittens could be around to grow up into happy healthy cats.

Here's a couple of pics of Mum, sorry they're not a bit clearer!

Kittens to go....

Got called to a TNR job in Harehills this week to trap a MU, Dad, 2 older siblings and a young kitten. First day there today I manage to get the kitten (top pic) and the two older siblings. They're hang around a garden in Harehills and a kind lady is feeding them and has agreed to have them back. Cat Action Trust is hanging on to the kitten in the hopes to tame and re-home it.

I'll drop the siblings back over the next couple of days after their operation and then go back next week for Mum, who already looks to be pregnant again, and hopefully the Dad.
