A Few More Homeless

It's been 3 1/2 years since I started my

 project of spaying and neutering the ferals and strays

in my neighborhood.  So far, I've taken 20 cats

 to the vet to get their shots and to get fixed since then!

I only had one new one in 2014....this handsome Slate.

But while he leads the pampered life of sleeping on faux

fur throws and leather couches, there are still a few

poor ones out there.

 I saw this one two days ago

and snapped his picture as I sat at my desk in the kitchen.

He needs a bath, some food and probably an antibiotic in his eyes.

While Slate and the others have fun romping in the snow,

they can come inside and be pampered whenever they want.

Who knows how the ferals survive, especially during this

terribly brutal winter we've had!  There wouldn't even

be any water to drink since everything is frozen.

Last night I happened to see him again, a little braver this time and

on our back porch.  He didn't run when we watched him through the

glass.  I didn't want to open the door, in case I frightened him

away.  I think he may have been wanting to spend the night 

in the chair out there with the heating pad on it!

He did peek through the cat flap as our guys peeked back!

I gave him a nice large serving of turkey breast through the

flap which he gobbled and we left him there for the night.  

Even if he doesn't decide he wants to stay, I'd love to

take him to the vet and then let him be on his way.

Maybe I should wait before naming him...it seems to

jinx them from coming back! ha.

Two more days to do an RAK!

Please come back on Friday and share!
