Henry's Cats - at Kallies

Kallie has five of the cats for socialization, meds and holding. One will be going to his new home with Mike & Sweetie We're meeting with their future caretaker, the guy with the detail shop who's kindly offered to provide them a home and care. We've yet to meet him or talk to him but know he's been in pet rescue for quite awhile and are looking forward to meeting him and seeing the cats new home. They will be going in about 10 days. THree of them are on meds for their URI's. They've been let out of their traps and are now in a room with toys and such while they adjust and get well. They'll be getting good food, immune boosting supplements, meds for their URI's and pro-biotics for healthy intestinal flora and flower essences to help them through the transition - for the stress, for the changes, and even for grieving the loss of the colony - no matter how dysfunctional - they aren't much different from that in that regard. Wednesday and Thursday were very long, emotionally and physically exhausting. It seemed like we were at it for years but the time flew. It was like being in a Vortex. It continued Friday, but not with the same intensity. And it's not over. There are at least 8 cats left at Henry's. Plus, two kittens that mama has now hidden. We'll be getting the others this week, hopefully, including the kittens. The ones we saw were older except for the 2 young grey tabbies. Let's hope they are as lucky as the first 10. Of the 7 we have, all but 2 have forever homes (we hope). We put a call into TAILS about the 3 we took there but haven't heard back.
