As some of you know, I have taken in feral kittens to find homes for. Spirit, a little Siamese, is with my sister now and becoming very friendly. Less than a week ago I posted a craigslist ad and delivered Kiwi to a nice young woman who has the patience to handle a feral kitten. She has reported that Kiwi no longer hisses at her, sleeps on her pillow at night and is wearing a collar. Kiwi also likes the 3 little boys she lives with. Just thought I'd share the good news.
It's hard to get a good photo of a black kitty, but here is Kiwi:
I am sad today, because I thought I had a home for Mystery, the little tortoise-shell who looks just like mama. Mystery is quite smart and took a long time before being hungry enough to go into the kitty trap. Now that Mystery is in the trap, the girl who said she wants the kitty is not answering phone or emails. I put an ad on craigslist hoping for a good home today, but it looks like I put the poor thing through this whole stress of being re-trapped for nothing. I feel very bad about it.
Take care everyone & wish me luck!
dumpsters, hiding out behind buildings waiting for them to be trapped, etc.). I always had good luck rehabbing them and adopting them out except for one. She just would not tame up. I kept trying to adopt her out but no one could see her, touch her or get near her - not even me. Took me three years to get her sociable. So guess whose cat she is now? Yeah, mine. We've had her six years now and she's really a great cat. In fact, despite the fact that she has gotten really fat, my 7 year old daughter carries her around under her armpits, and she plays relentlessly with our chocolate lab. This is a picture of Sadie.
