“Well we were finally able to trap their mama. She will be going in to Ramona clinic tomorrow to be spayed, get vaccinated, and be SNAP tested. I took these pics last night but then was too tired to post the update. I’m happy to see that her injury from the last time she was trapped seems to be healing well and there is no signsLake Elsinore Feral Mom Cat Trapped
of infection present because that is something I was a little bit worried about.
She has injuries because the people that caught her and her kittens have never trapped before and they did not know that they needed to cover the Trap so she freaked out and ripped her head open and they ended up letting her go because they were afraid that she was going to injure herself further and they weren’t sure if the rescue would take a feral or help a feral so they let her go. They were really sad and apologetic when they found out that we would have taken her and held her and got her spayed. So I explained to them better ways to trap and left traps with them and we were finally able to catch her again and it’s healing a lot better than I expected it to be with her being out in the elements and stuff. So it looks better than I expected it to – it was really bad when it first happened.
But we are definitely going to do everything we can to try to make sure that she has everything she needs to live her best, longest, healthiest life. The neighbor across the street from the house that she had her babies under has been feeding the ferals and will continue to feed her and they are also going to try to trap the two or three unneutered males that have been roaming around the neighborhood that we believe are the Daddy’s of the kittens that I have. We would like to just get the entire Colony vaccinated and altered so they can be fed and happy and fat and keep the rodent population down but not bring the feral kitty cat numbers up.”
