Just didn't have enough time
I find myself saying that a lot. If we had more time...It's always such a race against the clock. To find that home, to find a foster, to find a rescue, to find someone with any room for one more unwanted pet.
most of these animals are healthy. Some have behavioral issues that a person with enough patience could work out.

Caught 1 cat, now there's another
Mom caught the cat. He actually came up to her. She says he's really, really sweet and has a bunch of neat markings on him.
There is another one that looks exactly like this one, that one is most likely wild. He doesn't stick around when humans come outside.
So I think we're going to try to trap him as well.
The cat mom caught, has a neuter appointment this Thursday.
Kitten situation didn't go too well. Very depressing situation.

Trapped a dog
So I caught my mom's dog, Boo in the humane trap! Mom found her in the trap eating the cat food. What a silly little dog!
Boo
Today I'm taking two kittens to their new fur-ever homes. :) I'll post pictures of them a little later on. I have to pick them up first.
the feliway isn't having a total effect on Purgatory. I'm being told it might take a couple weeks. He reacts when I first spray it,but after a while he goes back to attacking the other cats. He hasn't attacked any of the humans since I started using it though.

Feliway is well worth the money
If you have an kind of behavioral issue with your cat, Feliway is the way to go.
Purgatory has always been very aggressive. We got him neutered, he calmed down, but he was still aggressive.
I finally decided to buy Feliway to see if it would work. I heard it worked with marking behaviors (hint! hint! If your cat sprays, get this!), but I wasn't sure if aggression like this would be something it'd help.
An hour after spraying it around the house (rest assured, you cannot smell it) I had a totally different cat. He was letting the others walk past him and even sniff his face. That's never happened before. This is a cat we've had to separate from the others, because he'd go out of his way to corner one of them and beat on them.
You can get it at Petco for about $30, more if you want the plug in (like glade's plugins). I just bought the little spray bottle.
Today, I'm going hunting! There's a little feral cat out at my mom's house. She's afriad the coyotes will get him. So I'm going to take my humane trap and other supplies out. Hopefully we'll get him before the coyotes. He's a tuxedo boy. Very pretty guy. Oh! I better remember to setup his neuter as well. I need a discount card! or maybe I should get itno a program, Spay and neuter 10 cats, the next ones free!
How awesome would that be? Haha!
Foster kitten from a couple years ago. Feral but we took them in to socialize them.

No, means NO
Some people just don't get it. I hate being rude, but when I tell you I'm not going to adopt a cat out to you and explain why.
Leave it at that.
Don't contact me about a different cat. If you weren't a suitable home for the one, why would you think you're suitable for a different one?
If you're going to take a cat to the shelter, why do you want another one in a couple months/weeks?
Actually, I want to be rude.
That's irresponsible! When you decide to have a pet, you make a commitment. You're saying I'm going to care for you, provide for you, and love you until you pass on.
How can you look at the face of your pet, the one that's comforted you when you're upset, made you laugh, and spent it's years with you...and just leave it? Don't you realize that's a death sentence? You need, YOU need to make sure it goes to a proper home if you no longer feel you can care for it. That's your responsibility. If you fail that animal, you better make sure to find someone that won't. It's disgusting.
And then you turn around and try to find a younger or "neater" cat? I'm not stupid. People think manx's are neat. Princess is a manx. I'm not stupid. Kittens are cute. They're new and cuddly. Is that why your older cat went to the shelter? It wasn't cute enough?
People that trade in older pets for a new kitten or puppy disgust me. That animal loved you. How is it hard to love it back?
