Due to the fact that I’m filled to the brim with kittens, it has been a somewhat slow month. I have been helping people get cats fixed and doing TNR as well. I will set traps at various locations and hope for the best. Some locations make trapping difficult, and it is often slow going. I trapped for one family that I had previously helped with several cats.

My month had an upsetting beginning because of a post on social media about an abandoned mother cat and five newborn kittens. The post led me to believe that the family had been dumped near a school located not far from my home. The temperature that day was around 110° so of course I was deeply concerned for the welfare of the cats.

This has been a month where I have spent a majority of my time at home taking care of many kittens and also a handful of adults as well. Due to a staffing shortage at the vets, there have been fewer appointments available so I have had to curtail some of my TNR work for the time being. It is just as well since the kittens keep me hopping.
