I decided to trap tonight on a whim. It was a good whim!! When I went back to check the traps I had TWO clients in one trap. Two of the kittens, one black and one orange - YEAH!!! This is my current priority, since we really need to get this little ones into foster care so that they can learn the joys of human company and get homes instead of living on the streets. The little orange kitty is quite confident and let me pet him (70% of orange tabbies are male, so odds are...) through the trap. He even reached his adorable little nose toward my hand. I was curious, so I opened the trap's back door partially and reached in. He let me pet his little chin and started to purr!! Really, he did! So I very, very much want to find a great inside home for him. He might still need some time to really warm up and this was a great start. The little black kitten was more nervous and hid behind his orange friend. These kittens are named Spook and Pumpkin after cats belonging to one of our donors. They are currently bunking in the garage until their visit to the doctor tomorrow.
Then an hour or so later, I thought, what the heck, I'll go back and check the other traps again. Well, good thing I did! I had another client - the other orange kitten. YEAH, again! This little one was more nervous, perhaps because he didn't have a friend with him. I put him next to the other trap in the garage and covered the traps together so that all three kittens can see each other and stay warm together too... I'm naming this guy Rusty. Here are their pictures from photo day last week.
Aren't they gorgeous?
So, I'll check the rest of the traps in the morning and see who else might be going on a road trip tomorrow. Now, the rubber hits the road - we need foster homes and permanent homes for these kids. Please work your networks and send us some good leads as well as good energy and happy thoughts :)
