Entering the Home Stretch

I'm pretty sure we're entering the home stretch here. We've officially TNR'd 25 cats out of the colony, and pulled another 3 for socialization and adoption.

Miss Psycho was our first pull, and well, you know what? She turned out to not be so psycho after all. Her new name is Queen Isabella, as she somehow believes she has come from royalty the way she saunters around her foster home, and lays around expecting to be hand fed greenies and fanned when she gets too warm.
Luckily for her, her foster mom seems highly amused by these delusions of grandeur.

Our next candidate for adoption was the beautiful Charro. She was snatched up her first week being up for adoption. How could anyone resist this beautiful face? Her and her sister were trapped at the same time, (okay we didn't do actual DNA testing to confirm the genetic link, but they looked like twins) but the sister would rather have eaten you than let you pet her. Very strange. Charro on the other hand from the get go wanted to be in your lap, wanted her belly rubbed, wanted to snuggle. She's going to make her new family very happy!

Lastly is the FluffMuffin. She's still in foster care being a little more socialized, but man is she beautiful! Tons and tons of fur just waiting to be snuggled! I'm glad that we're coming up on the end of this project, as it means we'll be turning the ongoing care of it over to someone else, so that we can focus on our next project.

We've managed to raise a little more money - hopefully enough to finish speutering everyone still out there. We know there are still a few, because we're keeping track of who we've seen versus who we've fixed. There's still a few more of those white kitties with the grey smudges on their heads out there trying to keep from getting trapped. Never fear, we shall overcome. The good news is that we started early, and so far only 2 of the females have been pregnant when they went in to be spayed. That's great news, as we are preventing so many litters from this colony forever!
