Month: August 2014

Today is August 17th 2014 and it’s been less than two weeks that we have these two slightly ferral kittens from the MSPCA that Barbara named Hettie and Lana. My understanding is there was a litter of four kittens and their mother was gone. They were trapped and taken by the MSPCA for care and rearing.

Hettie has been the more bold of the two. She’s generally out of the cage and engages toys easily. Noise nor big people, me, don’t give her too much of a fright.

Lana is the more timid but adventurous one. Noise scare her into the cage but she can be petted more easily.

Both are good natured and have taken well to Barbara’s ministrations.

Tomorrow, Monday, they will be going off to the MSPCA to be spayed and then put out for adoption.

 

 

 

Two weeks ago, around July 25th, 14 I insisted that Barbara engage Kathleen and turn over ZaZu to a shelter. ZaZu was being kept in their basement full time because he was soiling the floors and doing other things they didn’t want nor should have to put up with. Brayden was coming and Kathleen didn’t trust ZaZu.

Barbara took him to the Nevins MSPCA and for 11 days he was caged and cared for. We’d visit him and he seemed like a different animal than Kathleen described. He was calm and relatively quite.

I noticed a growth on the side of his neck and asked Barbara about it. She didn’t know. Two days ago they finally got around to examining him and determined it was cancerous. He might have been in pain.

They put him down. I knew this was possible and wanted him to have a better life or be out of pain. One or the other.

We’re sorry we didn’t take a photo of him.

Rest In Peace
