Yesterday's Fun & Games




8:00 AM - Off to the Animal Rescue League in Birdsboro so that Stella and Little Cat no longer need to have litters of kittens. Coffee, check. Paperwork, check. Checkbook, check. Two cats in separate carriers without any food or water since midnite, check.

We arrived to find a whole lotta other folks there too. There is a bad feral cat problem in our county, and there are many people who as a service to the community catch, neuter, and release these animals.
The organization who helped us out is No Nonsense Neutering http://www.nnnlv.org/. They have volunteer vets and staff who set up clinics several times a month. We had to wait 2 months for an appointment. The staff told us that that average between 50 and 60 cats per clinic.

Here are Stella and Little Cat on their way to surgery.

Everything went well and we picked them up that afternoon. They now have a shaved belly and a small tattoo that marks them as neutered.

They are both living in the house for a few days until they are feeling better, besides it is too cold out there anyway.
