Found another pack of homeless cats, kittens look like skeletons.

It's just a baby, starving baby.

It happened again! 2 little orphans, in the same spot ( styrofoam winter shelter for homeless kitties) where was Lucy, Elvira and few other orphans. I believe someone is dumping the offspring of his unspayed cat there on regular basis.

Today was one hell of a morning!
At 1:00AM I had a message from the ladies who helped catch for spaying, that they returned them to their colony. Unfortunately one was Yalena, girl from different location. So I had to grab a carrier and run there to catch her again. Almost forgot to put some pants on!
I was searching and calling till 4:00AM, then I had to go back home, grab bags with food and go feed every colony. Backpack full of water, bag with meat and cans and a carrier, probably looked like a mule.
I've catched her at about 5:30, then I had to carry her 2km.
She is back with her sister and friend.
I'm in zombie mode now.

No wonder you feel like a zombie after all that, and your own extended feline family to feed and check on too.
At least you managed to catch Yolena. I bet she's so relieved to be back where she belongs.

Vets tell Daisy is 12 years old. I know her for a few years, she was always friendly, begging for some love and attention. But also afraid of the hands, she must have been beaten before. She still loves humans, she wants to be loved. She was so desperate on the streets, I'm over the Moon that her nightmare is finally over and she will spend the rest of her life as a loved home kitty.

Hope it all goes well for them.
Why is it that the vet thinks cats understand 'no climbing'! When Misty was speyed she climbed the curtains as soon as I opened her carrier. So much for taking it easy:D.

Good morning everyone,

Sorry, I've been a little occupied with a poorly Oscar, so I'm delayed in my message this month. If anyone wants to join in the warm and fuzzy feeling to help Slarti in her work feeding the homeless kitties, now is the time. If you've never joined in before, please do send me a message and I'll let you know how. I'd aim to do the order in the middle of the week, probably Wednesday as I'm off work. All amounts are welcome, please feel no pressure that it has to be a huge contribution.

@slartibartfast I am guessing you need some dry now it's colder? Please let me know.

Oscar Woo and Mrs F xx

I'm back from catching, since 5:00AM. I have a few new bite marks to my collection, was bitten by a tiny kitten.
I was taking them out of their nest, I thought there were two of them. But there were 4! 2 black, 2 tabby, about month old. Little warriors are safe at the vets, they will be looking for homes. And their mom will be spayed.
I'm so happy they are off the streets, they wouldn't survive in this cold, today morning was terrible cold, almost like winter.
They are so tiny and smell amazing, I kissed their little heads.

The kittens!!!
These babies have been rescued from the street on Saturday morning, they are safe at the vets and soon will be looking for a home.
There is still one little baby to catch, their brother or sister, please keep everything crossed for that kitten, so I can grab him and deliver to safety!

Hi everyone,

Slightly later than I had planned (sorry Slarti, life is running away from me with crazy work and other stuff) I have done the following orders this month. I've had to split it into four separate orders to avoid getting hit with the extra delivery charges.

Thanks go as always to you incredibly kind folk for contributing @LJC675 @SbanR @Tawny75 @ChaosCat @Jojomomo @Heather*** @Trixie1 - you are so appreciated. I know it's tough for folk at the moment, not just for @slartibartfast, so there is less money to spend this month but I've done my best.

I do, as usual, have records if anyone wants to see them.

So the orders total is as follows:

72 x 800g Smilla (mostly the favourite poultry with hearts)
1 x 10kg bag of Smilla dry food
3 x 5l Cat's Best litter from the ZP points, so free :)
4 x Snackies for the Overlords (as is their traditional reward for letting their mum help the homeless ones).

I really hope this will all be of help. That's all we can do, keep trying to help.

Love from Oscar and his Human Mother xx

Evening everyone,

I am just popping this here in case anyone wants to join in the Homeless Kitty feeding fund this month. If you've never joined in before, drop me a message and I'll tell you how you can - it's easy and there's no pressure. I won't be placing the order probably until the middle of next week but I know several people have seen Slarti's other thread about her beloved Delle Seyah and Arthur both dying within hours of each other and want to join in to help. I thought I"d give us a couple of extra days to let more people see the thread.

Thank you from Oscar and his Human Mother xx
