Last 2 Kittens

Hey, Everyone!

Great news! We were able to catch the last two kittens. They will be taken to the East Valley Animal Shelter as soon as they open in the morning. We've made sure that they have been fed and are well-hydrated.

Again, if you would like to adopt these kittens, please visit the shelter's adoption section here: http://www.laanimalservices.com/adoptapet_eval.htm

We still haven't had any luck catching Robert's Mom for FixNation, but we think we may have a significantly better chance now that her kittens are no longer distracting her.

Speaking of FixNation, after we caught the runt kitten last time, I mentioned that I got some hate mail. One of the complaints I received that I didn't mention was that everyone presumed we had caught the kitten in a FixNation trap (which are only meant to be used for FixNation purposes). This time, to avoid that particular argument from coming up again, I'm posting this picture:As you can clearly see, the kittens are not in a FixNation trap.

We felt bad lifting up their towel (covering a cat when it's enclosed in a trap or carrier helps to calm it significantly!) to take this picture, but we didn't want to get any more guff over something that isn't even an issue.

Again, if anyone out there is adopting these kittens, or any of the numerous other kittens at the shelter who need homes, please click here.

If anyone out there sends me hate mail over our taking these kittens to the shelter, their e-mails will not receive an answer.

Until next time...

Hey, Everyone

After my last post, I started receiving hate mail about the fact that we took the runt kitten (and will be taking the other two kittens) to a shelter. At first, we were upset by it, but we're not anymore because, look:

a.) We've been saying for over two months now that we were going to take the kittens to a shelter if nothing better came up,

b.) That kitten needed medical attention, which we could not afford to give (and the shelter was willing to provide),

c.) Those kittens wouldn't do well in the wild as we've been handling them pretty much since birth & they depend on us for food (which is what FixNation told us to do!),

d.) Even if the kittens DO get euthanized (as the writers are insisting), at least it'll be quick and humane--unlike starving to death and/or being eaten alive by parasites--though I highly doubt they will be (why would the shelter lie to us that they thought he had a great chance?) and,

e.) If those people liked the kittens so much, they could have stepped up and adopted them!!!! We've been advertising these kittens for a long time now!

I'm taking a stand right now. If you write me a hate mail message on this subject, you won't be getting a reply.

On the bright side, we got to go visit the kitten who DID get adopted today. She looks WONDERFUL! She's the most spoiled kitten in the universe and she's so clean and happy and tame and well-adjusted. He eyes are sort of brown now and she looks just lovely.

Her name is Ruby.
