I rescued two kittens today. At least I think I did the right thing. Their mom is a neighbor's cat that was never spayed. You know the story. Another neighbor has been trying to trap the mom for quite some time with no success. I came home from the gym and found mom on my porch which was odd because she usually runs from me. Then I spotted the kittens. There's two: one black and one orange tabby, pretty little things. They're probably 5-6 weeks old. Ordinarily, I wouldn't have taken such young cats from their mother but A) I had the opportunity and B) I was afraid that if I waited they wouldn't be socialized. Mom cat needs to be trapped too so we're going to set the trap on my porch with some towels the kittens have used. Hopefully, we can stop one more cat (well 3 really when you count the kittens) from breeding but I'm feeling a bit pessimistic. Is it really going to make that much of a difference when my neighbors won't spay and neuter their pets? Someone will ask so I'll say no I don't know who it is. If I did I'd have dealt with them directly. Never fear!
