PFA received a call several months ago from Leah, a caring and capable woman living in North Central Regina. The lot beside Leah's home is full of abandoned vehicles and other junk, and it had become home to several momma cats and their respective litters of kittens. Leah wanted to stop this colony in the making from reproducing, but she needed help. First, Leah was able to bring the tamer mother cat and her young litter of kittens into her home. She tamed the kittens, and had the mother cat spayed. PFA was able to help adopt out some of the kittens, and we moved the two remaining ones into another foster home. The mother cat was re-released into the vacant lot, as she was too wild to be happy as a house cat, and she has shelter, food, and water provided by Leah. Then, Leah took on the much harder task of catching the much wilder mother cat and her three older kittens. She used a large dog kennel, and enticed the kittens one by one into it with food. Then she would grab them and bring them indoors. She also did that with the mother cat, and we had a very interesting evening transporting her to the vet clinic in the back of a truck, as the kennel was too big to fit in a car! Now, the second mother cat is spayed, and is also back outside with her buddy. They are content, and will never have another litter of kittens.
Leah has the three kittens in her home with her now, and they are taming up beautifully. They are sweet, and playful, and affectionate. they will make wonderful pets! These girls are listed on our adoption page on our main website now, ready to go to their forever homes. We are so grateful to have brave and industrious people like Leah in our community, who are willing to do their part to stop cat overpopulation on our streets.
