Feral Friday

In our town, there are many feral cat colonies.  When the economy tanked people could not afford their homes and they left their cats behind when they moved.


This week the caretaker of a colony near the mom's work was hospitalized unexpectedly, and for an indefinite period of time.  The mom volunteered to help and is taking care of them in the evenings.


This pretty little silver kitty was the first one the mom saw.

The next day she was surprised to see not one 
but three silver kitties.
Look at that face!  OMC!
It reminds the mom of her first cat, Leia.

 There are five kitties in this picture.
Can you find them?
It's a little eerie knowing there are a dozen sets of eyes watching you
yet you don't see any of them,
you just know they are there.

I've circled the third silver kitty and one of two all black ones.
They are all so shy, grabbing a mouth full of food and
running back into the under growth to eat.

Although this colony was TNR'ed
some of the cats look like they don't have clipped ears.
Perhaps they are newbies or maybe the entire colony wasn't caught.
Time for the binoculars!
And maybe the traps.

 The mom's first cats, Attila (L) and Leia (R).

We wish everyone a great weekend!  Sunday is Oui Oui's & Mica Minnie Moo's Gotcha Day, so stop on by!  We are having a Comment-A-Thon here and a Post-A-Thon at the Tabby Cat Club to benefit PAWS, the shelter featured in Animal Shelter Volunteer Life with Moosey, Gracie, Zoe, meowmeowmans and Tracey.
