Kitten update....

Mum stopped feeding the cats over the weekend and after a trip to the vets it turns out one of her teats was blocked and she is now on antibiotics. Also one of the kittens was only 1.5gms, where everyone else was 3gms. This little guy is now being hand-fed 3-4 times a day and has already put on some weight, so things are looking good. The kittens are all male aside from a female tortie....

Patience is a virtue

Right, local job to TNR 4 toms who come visit one of the local cat fosterer's, Joan, who is looking after the Mum and 7 kittens. She has around about 6 cats of her own which come and go around the house, but there are 4 'visitors' she wants looked after as well. Spent 2 hours there today and no sign of anyone! 3 of the 4 are usually around in the morning, one is more a night visitors. Got a bit tricky when her own cats were about in the garden as the others were likely to stay away. We got her own cats indoors, 1 by one, but no lucky.

Finally got round to see a Mum and her 7 kittens taken into care a week ago at 10 days old. Man, these guys are lively little monkeys already and I don't envy Mum or carer once they start walking and exploring :+] Expect lot's more cut e pics...

Time to update...

Okay, changed the title of the blog from 'Cat Vacation' to , well you can see. The reason behind this has come about since the local cat charity I was part of, FERAL CAT WELFARE, scaled back their cat rescue activities, partly due to funding, partly on the back of some personal reasons by the main organiser. Suffice to say I felt a little cut adrift after having worked with them for the past 2-3 years, helping with fund raising, and providing transport and trapping duties where needed. I am now essentially 'freelance' and whilst work seems to be either a full on, or nothing for weeks, I am still doing what I enjoy best... helping cats. In light of that I am intending to use this blog to share the work I do, as well as highlight cat-related inks, features and stories. Hope you enjoy, if not, thanks for dropping by...
