In a continuation of my previous thread...http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=91083
The person's tomcat Tiger is still missing. A trap will be set, but he has not been spotted for over a week.
Piglet is close to delivery, and her sister seems to be preggers, too. Prayers are urgently requested that the owner will surrender the girls to me to foster, so the kittens are born at my house. The cats have given birth and nursed their various kittens together at their current home, so the plan is to keep the girls together so they can co-mother the new litters at my house. The person is saying I will be allowed to foster the two girls...but I know that actually surrendering them to me for a period of two months or more will be very difficult.
And one kitten was found to have a heart murmer, so at just over two pounds, the vet sent her home without spaying her. She is to be checked again in one month, to see if the murmur has gone away.
One male kitten was under 2 pounds....he was born tiny and injured when young. The good news is that he is in good health according to the vet. However, he can't be neutered until he gets a little bigger.
So...much progress has been made, but until every cat is speutered, I will not feel at ease.
Also, the day the owner took the first cats to the vet to be spayed, she stayed near the vet rather than going home. This was due to the distance and the expense of gas. While she was gone, her elderly dog died, possibly due to the heat as the home is not air conditioned. She feels at fault for not being there for her dog, and for forcing the dog inside rather than leaving her outside in the dog run.
So while progress has been made, there is also a lot of pain in the family. Please keep them all in your prayers, that Tiger will be found, and that Piglet and her sister will visit me to give birth, and that all the kitties get speutered. And that the human of the family heals from her pain.
