Black Cats Abandoned By The Hundreds Because They Don't Look Good In Selfies!
This isn't really news, although Yahoo would have you believe otherwise, any cats rescue center or charity has been saying the same for years!

Trapping is a 24/7 job!
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!

Poorly cat at Leeds flats
This is one of the cats I was due to try and catch on Saturday, but due to the rain he never showed up... wise cat. I dropped by the flats yesterday and the woman who called Leeds Feline Friends showed me him sleeping by a low wall in the car park. He was quite thin and apparently when running has a tendency for his back-end to collapse every now and then, so not sure what that is yet.
A well set trap with some nice tuna in it and within 5 minutes, once he decided to wake up after smelling the fish, boom, in he went. He is now at the vets so we'll see how he fairs. The feeder would rather he didn't come back to the flats as she has seen kids throwing golf balls at him when he has been in his eating, plus the area around the flats has a preponderance of people with big dogs... pitbulls, staffies, the usual suspects. LFF are hoping to locate him somewhere, if all goes well at the vets today.
