June Update
It’s been a crazy month. So far we’ve had 24 kittens come through, taken 4 cats in for TNR, rescued another 4, and had 1 cat take up residence in a wall in the back porch. We have also added a feeding station on Valour Road. Quite a month — and it’s only half over 
The cat in the wall did, eventually, come out. It was coming out to eat at night, and finally succumbed to the yummy salmon in the trap. The poor fella was mighty scared after his ordeal, so I couldn’t transfer him to a kennel to wait for the next round of TNR. He was released, and I hope he’ll wander back into the trap when it’s set in July.
The kittens are doing very well. Another 8 have gone up to Pet Traders for adoption, leaving 7 here. It’s very nice to be working with only one kitten pen. For the last couple of weeks there have been 3 pens FULL of babies, and it was taking 6 hours per day just to feed and clean up after them. We won’t be taking in any more kittens until the first week of July, but there are quite a few waiting to come in.
Next week (June 22 to 28) we’ll be at St. Vital Centre, in the community booth by Appelt’s. We’ll be taking some of the adoptable cats there, for a few hours per day, and hope to find lots of adoptive or foster families for our amazing cats. Of course, we’ll have lots of kitten cards, catnip toys and cat beds for sale, and we’ll be accepting donations, as well. This is a major fundraising opportunity for us, and we’re hoping to do well.
Stumble It!
