No more strays FOR NOW !!!
I have been feeding strays for so long now that I hate to think of what I have spent!! Every day I have gone out to feed cats whether rain, snow, sleet, ETC. Younger ones I have tried to find homes for or if during cold, winter weather I will take them to one of the local shelters even through none of them are no kill. The older ones I try to provide a place where they can get out of the weather and where I can put food under cover for them. One of the neighbors there has been really good about letting me put food and bedding and stuff under his full front porch which is all closed in on the bottom except for a couple holes where cats can get under. AS OF NOW there are no actual strays coming around but there are still neighborhood cats that supposedly belong to someone but are so-called outdoor cats. They know that they can get food where I feed them so they still come. I will feed them through the Michigan winter then taper off. There was one that it's OWNER said was about 11 or 12 that hung out 24 / 7 at my ex's where I fed them. Rain, snow, cold, ETC he stayed there curled up in the grass or leaves. I finally got his OWNER to agree to keep him indoors at least through the winter but I told him I would buy his cat food for it. I just felt sorry for the old guy because winter was coming and some nights it got into the 20s and he had trouble getting around the way it was. He has kept him in now for about a week. I also got him to agree to let me try to find homes for some of them even through it is kind of rough because most of them are adults but I am trying. There is a low income housing project near there and people come and go all the time and there are at times pets that get left behind. The last ones I took to the shelter was a goup of 3 about a year old that someone left and they were living under a abandoned house. Hopefully I will make it through the winter with no one dumping or abandoning any furballs. Miracles do happen!! My firbabies http://members.aol.com/larrystark/ |
