Lewis

July 15, 2011

Laurie says: Lewis was also one of the kittens born to the strays we "inherited" when we moved into our new house. He is not a littermate of Teddie -- different moms. Fortunately I found a home for Lewis, so someone else is now enjoying his cute lil' mug. ;-) I've included a photo of all three stray moms and their kittens -- the pile of furballs! It's crazy, they would all lay together on our deck, nursing each other's babies.... craziness! The cat we plan to keep is the one that is multicolored in the group pic. She is very sweet considering she is a stray and runs the neighborhood. And her kitten is a yellow and white one, that is under the pile somewhere. LOL!

I did call the Dane County Humane Society and they will take them for a fee of $30 for each cat and $30 for the litter of kittens. They will also spay or neuter the one cat and the one kitten I plan to keep for a fee of $30 each. So $150 to help stop the craziness that exists at our new home. But if I can stop the craziness and find them homes, it will be worth it. And hopefully the neighbors don't have any more cats!

These are really lucky cats to have found you :) Love the photos and can imagine the sweetness in the 8 waiting to find good, caring homes that will have them all neutered/spayed!

This kind of sharing intrigues me. I can certainly see the survival advantage but am amazed the mommas are so cooperative with each other.

Thank you for caring for them. Glad to hear you will be spaying / neutering as that is the only way to stop the kitten factory!

Wow, it's like a little Kitty Kibbutz! It's great of you to help with fixing and trying to place everyone as much as possible--I'm sure the kittens will have many advantages with new homes and the homes will certainly be brightened too!

$150 to control the feral population is an excellent investment. Kudos to you and your generosity. Good kitty karma for your soul.

Lewis is adorable, and I'm happy he was adopted into a loving home. This photo of all the cats & kittens is priceless! So glad you're going to be able to have them all safely cared for, and keeping one Mom and baby, too!

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I too have always been a lover of kitties and have two boys of my own. I so wanted to keep Lewis, I mean... who wouldn't; What a cutie! But, if I kept every kitty I came across, I would be considered a hoarder! Heeee! Heeee! So now, with our new home and the stray thing going on, it makes it hard not to wanna take them all in(my dear hubby keeps that from happenin'! LOL!). Anyhow, I continue to do what I can to find them good homes. And would good people like Andrea and you all, it makes placement of these sweeties so much easier and not so hard on the heart... Thank you all! :-)

He's adorable!! Just sitting there innocently with a look on his face that says it all, "Won't you please give me and my kitty friends a nice home? Pretty please, won't you?"
You're a wonderful lady for helping all the cats and kittens like you're doing. Bless you :)

Wonderful ending to yesterday's story. So glad that the kittens and Moms will get taken and then spayed or neutered. The price is a really good one for all the catties. Lewis is so handsome and I am glad that he got a forever home already. Wonderful photo of the Mums and their charges.
