Waiting in a carrier...

Yesterday, we made our first “official” trip to ADOPT for the year. We targeted 2 sets of garage kitties so that they would have a relatively warm place to go back to after surgery.
Loaded up and ready to go

Of one group of nine, there were only two males – that’s enough! We had one friendly, who’s owner takes him out on a harness and leash and no way did we want him to make more! So we had one male friendly, 11 female ferals and 3 male ferals. In addition, we have taken 3 cats to GEAH in March, all male. One was a male being picked on by the colony, hoping he will become friendly. Another was being fed by an elderly couple who no longer felt able to care for him, he was an in/out cat, we’ll see how he does. Third was Cheese, with a neck wound – he got a dental while he was in. This brings us to 18 for March, 21 for 2019 and 10,992 since our beginning in 2007.
At the clinic

Certain our next trip will put us over the 11,000 mark – the date of that is yet to be determined!
Staging in the garage...

Here are the pictures of one of our loaded up vehicles, the friendly in a carrier, the cats waiting for treatment at the clinic and most of them back at the garage for recovery – a few went elsewhere for recovery, all should be going back home Saturday morning!
Kitten Shower
One reason we’re up in the air about our next trip is we need to be sure preparations for our Kitten Shower are on track. We’re turning donations into some great Silent Auction and Door Prize items! This may be the first Kitten Shower to take place prior to Easter and coincidentally we have had a lot of kid’s stuff donated. Don’t forget about Mother’s Day coming up, too! Thank you to everyone who has been so generous! Its less than 3 weeks away and we’re looking forward to seeing you all! Please pre-register by mail or online so we can be sure to have enough food & beverages.
