Hello everyone. First let me say I love all 4 footed buggers. Cats being at the top of the list. I'm a feral cat advocate and have had a small colony for the last 14 years. 2-4 neutered cats, well maintained. The neighbor moved here 3 years ago and brought a female in and the farmer's wife brought 4 kittens as well as another who allowed them to escape out the window. All, of course not fixed. Last year we had a population explosion. There are at least 25 kitties, many of which I can pet, including 4 tiny winter kittens that need help. I saved 2 kittens out of the group this winter and had to take one to the vet on a cold nite. She was sitting by the door, this wee little black and white kitten, who normally runs away peaking at me when I feed them. She just sat there looking up at me with those big eyes. I scoped her up of course and wrapped her in a blanket. It was about 15 degrees out and after holding her until she warmed up and giving her a little warm water she had this look of relief I can't explain. I had a look to see if she was OK. Oh god why do these things happen? It appeared that her whole bowel was out! As my husband held her and I was in shock I tried to think what to do. I called the vet, it was 12:30 Am and I held her in a blanket the whole way. We live a half hour plus away and i was just sick. The vet said there was nothing he could do. I cried for her so.
Well the next week I saved another of the winter kittens, it's eyes where so matted it couldn't see and was sitting in the middle of the road almost frozen not being able to find her way home, but this one I was able to rescue and it has a new home. There was 2 black and white twins and 2 black twins each a male and a female. When the first one went the twin was so frightened and alone without his sister. I could see it. Now there are only the 2 left and I need to trap them and tame them as one has mattered eyes but the other is in good health.
I need to spay and neuter the rest of the colony and 2 had been shot by a neighbor with a pellet gun, their wounds where life threatening. Be Be a little Bengal male is ready to neuter and Mingo a black Male is recovering from his shot wound. Mingo may need to go to the vet yet. Today his wound started looking wrong.
Now here the rest of the story. I'm disabled, on a fixed income and my husband has had to care for me for the last 5 years. I have 20 indoor kitties ready for adoption and have been active in adoptions for the last 10 years. Yesterday my land lord of 15 years told my husband we can't feed the outdoor pets or they will evict me. She said they will take care of themselves. They don't! She has no care for them or knowledge of a cat colony. They will starve or be eaten by coyotes, shot or die of sickness if not cared for. 10 females need to be spayed 15 males need to be neutered and 2 kittens need to be trapped and tamed. Mingo needs help and Be Be needs a home along with the other spay and neutered kitties. I am now in liver failure, I'm diabetic with hypothyroidism and breathing problems. I've been responsible all my life and try as hard as I can to do the next right thing even if others do not. I'm sad not for myself but for the little one's left behind. I'm very sick but need no pity. Just some of you to give a little hand to help these little guys make it to a safe place. Please contact if you can offer any help to them. Laura in western wisconsin
