Feral Cats
Barn or shop homes needed for some great mousing ferals. These cats, now in need
of new mouse hunting/roaming grounds, have lived their lives haunting an old
grass seed warehouse complex near Albany. They have all been trapped and fixed.
The farmer is in deep debt and has had the complex up for sale for a couple of
years. He believes he will have a definite sale within a couple of weeks now
and fears for the safety of these cats of his. He is a kind man and has cared
for them well. He is a third generation farmer and recalls his grandmother
coming out of the house, now a night watch house, with forty or more cats at
her feet. He told me once that I'd stopped the cat conspiracy to take over the
world. He was joking around, grateful really, because I'd trapped those
warehouse cats by pairs and sometimes by the dozen for fixing, weekend after
weekend, for a year or more. I've trapped well over a hundred cats at that
warehouse and it has been like my second home also. There are maybe around 35
cats left around and about the complex, all fixed. But they need new places, by
the two's or three's, to go. I will do all the work in relocation. Best friends
need to relocate with best friends. Family with family. There are all colors,
from Buffers, the pale orange long hair male, and Pinhead, the small headed
short hair dark orange tabby to Big Boy, the wannabe tame seal point Siamese,
to Last Man Standing, the classic short hair gray tabby male. There is
Cinderella, the sweet tux and her buddy Moby Jane, an all black with half
dollar size white chest spot and the last female to elude my traps whom I
finally snared this spring. There is Greystoke, the wild boy long hair huge
gray and white tux who inhabits the burn pile. There is the pallet gang whose
members include Blackbob and Whitebob, Emerald (BigBoy's buddy), Backspot,
Chinspot, V and Legspot, all mixtures of white and black in coloration. There's
BrownNose and her adult kitten Nosejob. There's back warehouse inhabitant
Tubby, a dumped off pretty much tame long hair white and black neutered male.
There is Shoppers and her three legged adult son Tricycle (one rear leg lost in
farm machine accident). Anyhow, they need placements and if anyone can help, I
would so appreciate it. So would farmer Roger. So would these happy go lucky
warehouse ferals whose secure existence world is about to shatter.
