Foster Victoria gave this update about the kittens she trapped and is fostering:
“These are the ferals I trapped on my street. Everyone is getting more and more social every day. They all purr! Brandon and Ethan are the most social. Ashton was the most shy but he is now the third social. Ashton is timid but he wants to loved on. If I am petting someone else he comes over to be pet in a timid way. He will come over and lay next to the cat I am petting and look at me like pet me too. They have taken a lot of work but they are almost ready for new homes. No hissing no hiding. Just kitties that want to play! They are still a little sensitive to noise but we are working on that. We can hold them and snuggle them we just need to get them use to being man handle by kids!
They are about 10 – 12 weeks old and they are almost 3 lbs. They should be available in the next couple weeks. Brandon, Ashton, and Ethan are the biggest. Alyssa and Danny are smaller. ”

Shell took photos of the wide variety of cats and kittens that are coming up soon for adoption! Overall we have about 60 kittens and it is just the start of kitten season. We rescue cats from Temecula and surrounding areas, such as, Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar, and Hemet.

In April 2018, 1273 cats were impounded and 660 or 52% of cats were euthanized. For the period 7/1/17 to 2/28/18, 11,620 cats were impounded and 6,543 or 56% of cats were euthanized. We occasionally rescue from San Bernardino County too which has even higher death
rates.
We are asking donations to help out since kitten season has started and the first wave of fur babies is showing up now. In addition to being contacted about found kittens, we help with rescuing adults too. We only charge $85 for kittens and $50 or less for cats as an adoption fee. This does not cover our costs and we rely on donations to make up the difference in costs.

Here is a foster home update on one of the black and white momma cats and her kittens:
“There are five kittens and their mother. We named the mother cat Lily. I think that all the kittens are males with short hair. They are all very playful and healthy. They are about five weeks old. They love to play with each other. They all get along very well.”

Mama Torrie was living with a pack of other stray and feral cats in a condominium complex in Hemet. Her finder moved in almost a year ago and has been feeding this cat because she likes to hang around her place and is up on her roof a lot. We think but do not know for sure that it is possible her owners used to live in that same home and then just left their cat behind when they moved send Torrie seems to prefer that place so much. Shell helped to trap pregnant Torrie.
On Monday, April 2nd, Torrie gave birth in the morning to two beautiful kittens. Because she was so large and she was continuing to breathe rather heavily as though she was still in labor we ended up taking her into the vet yesterday to check and see whether or not she had any more kittens stuck inside her. It turns out that she’s just a little bit chunky and does not have any more kittens stuck inside of her which is good. She is a very good mother, very loving, takes excellent care of both of her babies and they are eating and moving well. The dark, solid colored one looks to be male, and Shell thinks the other will end up with a Torbi or Torti color pattern once older and is a female. Mom is a Torbi though looks more tabby as her orange splashes are light and only around the back legs/bum area.
