I feel like a one-woman Cat Rescue Spay-Neuter Society. There are so many wild cats around here, living in the barns, under the porch, everywhere. We’ve rescued a lot of them, taken their kittens in, gotten the mothers spayed, the kittens spayed or neutered or given away.
But they just keep coming.
Here are two of the wild barncats at the food bowl on my porch. This is about as close as I can get to them.
14 spends a lot of time doing this, laying out in front of the porch attempting to coax the wild kittens to let him pet them.
Here’s a little gray one, peeking out from under the porch. Cute, huh? I actually got hold of this one once and it bit me…..
Now 14 comes out wearing gloves when he tries to get it. I asked him what he thought we were going to do with it if he caught it. He said, “Take it inside and make it a pet!”
