Genghis the university cat











We were called this week by some concerned citizens who had noticed two older kittens living on the campus of the University of Regina. Our intrepid trapper, Tammy, agreed to go out and work with one of the people who works on campus to try and trap the kittens and tame them. Tammy went a'trapping today, but lo and behold, she didn't get a kitten, but a very large, very hungry and bedraggled siamese cross cat!
Genghis is probably about 2 years old. He is neutered and tattooed, but had clearly been at the campus for some time. He was very hungry and a bit skinny, and had a bad case of fleas and ear mites. He spent the evening at my house, until we found a foster home to take him, so I was able to clean out his ears, feed him, and write down his tattoo number. I'll be calling the humane society tomorrow to report him as found, and maybe we'll have some luck with reuniting him with his family. Otherwise, he'll be available for adoption next week.
I'm just glad he will be warm and well fed tonight.
