I am SUCH a sucker

But a mad and happy one. There are these neighborhood Manx cats - and there's been one cutie that's been here since we moved. A young female. I THOUGHT she was spayed. Oh no......irresponsible neighbors let her have TWO litters this year alone and she's not more than TWO YEARS OLD HERSELF!

Well, she won't be having any more. When I walked out to the barn and the feed can mewed at me and I found FIVE little kittens........kittens in a carrier and a trap set for said Mama. We'd JUST managed not more than a month previously to capture and home a kitten from her OTHER litter!

Mama Cat is now spayed, has all her shots and is in a foster home awaiting adoption. I took her to my expensive vet for the best treatment. She's not happy without her kittens, but she is the FRIENDLIEST, CUDDLIEST cutie herself. And will have a much better life now........if you're reasonable local, contact me. She is up for adoption and deserves a great home.

AND I'm bottle feeding the FIVE kittens, several of them also Manx, as in NO tails. Two of them are equally adorable long-tails. They are ONLY 3 weeks old right now and I've got them hooked up on the bottle and got purrs out of two of them this morning. They will be up for adoption when they're 8 weeks old and the adopters MUST get them fixed, no ifs, ands or buts about it!

Stay tuned for updates and pictures!

Good for you. Wish more people were responsible about getting their pets spayed and neutered.
