Spay/Neuter Updates

GW was very easy to load into the carrier. All I had to do was pluck him off the curtain rod in the bathroom. He's a fairly tame feral.

LG has never been handled before, except for an occasional quick pet by my mom when she's feeding her. My mom trapped her in the bathroom and I entered with a towel, intending to scoop her up in it. I did, but lost my grip and she scrambled up my face and went flying through the air. Literally. I had no idea kittens could fly, but this one did. After checking my face for damage (blood dripping from large scratch on my nose and upper lip), I tried again with the towel and got a better grip this time. Here she is...LG (Little Gray).




There are a few people who've offered to help with the spay/neuter of this little colony, and any help whatsoever is greatly appreciated. The rescues and shelters haven't been able to help me yet. Their programs are full, busy, and underfunded. I'm still trying for cheaper options, but right now we're using my regular vet. Some of the discount vets and clinics would be an option if my mom could get the kitties there, but she can't. She has 24/7 care of a friend confined to a hospital bed in her living room. These clinics are only open at times when I'm at work, and it's quite the ordeal to trap these little guys. My vet is open nights and weekends, and flexibility is a necessity here. We're thinking that for Tiny and Spot to get fixed, we're going to bait the humane trap that I bought for this purpose, and place it in the doorway from the patio to the living room. My mom has trained the kitties to come in the house for treats, though she's never been able to touch Spot or Tiny. Then, as soon as one, or both, are trapped, off they go for spays. After that, we'll leave the trap by the side of the house to catch the two adult males. Once the momcat brings her kittens over, we'll just grab them. The momcat also has an injured tail. Half of it is missing, and the end of it still bleeds sometimes. She's never been touched by humans either, but really needs medical attention.
