I Did a Good Deed

I took the week off to get some big projects done. One of them entailed trapping feral cats in the neighborhood. The population has exploded. We managed to trap 4 adult cats, 2 of which had given birth recently. Lo and behold, look at what walked into the traps...2 baby kittens.

They are too small to have neutered so I agreed (reluctantly) to foster them until they reach 3 lbs.

The black and white managed to escape the cage. I bent down to grab him and he bit me 12 times...yes, 12. Off I had to go to the doctor for a tetanus shot and Augmentin.

I guess no good deed goes unpunished or is that unrewarded?

OMG!?馃悎馃悎馃悎We had this same problem in an apartment building we use to live in several years ago. It was awful because they were starving and I couldn't feed them all the time. My boyfriend and a neighbor started trapping them and dropping them off in different parts of town. That sounds bad but they want $25.00 at the shelters for stray animals even if they aren't yours?!馃槥

@Peaches: they fix them for free here and you are not allowed to relocate them and yes it is VERY expensive to feed them
