Hissy, gayef, I need your advise on this one.
Hissy you may remember my Romeo from last summer. He is happily rehomed w/my best friend now. Well his little girlfriend, whom I call Juliet, of course, is still hangin in there. I've been feeding her tryin to get her in for a TNR (never have looked into Hav-a-hart traps
) She was making great strides back in Nov and would even come inside my back door for meals, until I tried to close the door one time in an effort to confine her and accidentally caught her midsection
not hard enough to hurt her but scared the bejeezus out of her and I didnt see her for days.
Well, now she is very obviously preggers again (she lost a litter back in Oct - preg one day, skinny two days later and never saw any littl'ns) and this morning she came in the back door for breakfast!!! She was very interested in touching noses w/my kitties(yes, I know, not the wisest
), purred the whole time she was eating and let me get close enough to almost touch her. (seems to indicate stress to me) Her rear looks like it may have had discharge, so I think she might be close to delivery.
My dilemma is this: I will be moving in about six weeks, so i know I can't possibly take her in and raise the litter. I REALLY wanted to get her rehomed before I leave the area, but now this makes it so much more complicated. Do you think it wise of me to make some calls to the local no-kill and/or humane society to try and place her, and make her a nest or confine her if possible when she comes around again???? She may deliver any time now, so if I decide to do something I need to do it soon, before she makes her nest elsewhere.
