end of a chapter



This last fall a stray cat showed up on our doorstep. Initially she was to shy to let us near her, so we left her food and would talk to her eventually gaining her trust. When she did finally let us pet her we became suspicious that she had kittens. After following her one day our suspicions were confirmed tucked away in our woodshed she had two beautiful kittens. The kittens were even more skittish then momma and for weeks we attempted to catch the little felines. Over the last three months it has drove me batty trying to win their trust but these kittens were just becoming to wild. I have been obsessed with trying to catch them to find these two beautiful cats a good warm home. One of the kittens also needed medical attention as she/he was born with a bad eye. Well finally in what can probably only be described as a great comedy my son and I were able to lure the kittens into the nice warm kitchen with a warm wood stove and lots of food, and presto we had them. We kept them inside for a week, we fed them and most of all we loved them. Soon these little wild felines were domesticated loving cats ready to find good homes. Last weekend my husband took them to a cat shelter where they are getting the medical attention they need and awaiting adoption to loving homes, and momma cat well lets just say its tough to type when you have a cat laying on your lap...

How wonderful of you to take such good care of these sweeties. We have always tried to 'help' ferral cats by getting them more domesticated, neutered and adopted out.

The two lovies we currently have in residence came from the local shelter, and we just love them.
