When I fed my ferals tonight, Wilbur, had one of his I mean her kittens with her. This is the first kitten I've seen in over 5 years only because I have never been able to trap Wilbur to get him/her fixed. The kitten is cute, solid gray, but it just breakes my heart. I can't even afford the vet bills I have now and I sure can't afford to care for a new litter of kittens. I'm just too old and tired for this stuff anymore.

HI Carper and Katie,

Thanks for the list of low cost clinics. I didn't know there were so many around. I saw the kitten again this morning and I'm starting to think that he may be the only surviv al of the litter. He looks like he's 8 to 10 weeks old so it shouldn't be that hard to trap him and hopefully his mother. I have enough shelter, so 1 or 2 more cats won't matter.
