This adorable kitten is one of several nabbed late last night by the PFA feral team. With all the kittens currently listed for adoption, you might think that kittens are easy to come by, but that isn't the case.
While our volunteers do come across the occasional tame kitten actively seeking help, such as Lil One last year, most of the time it involves a lengthy process of scouting out the locations, assessing age and if they can safely be taken from the mother cats, setting traps, and lots and lots of waiting.
By the time the team was done last night, they'd been out for 4 hours. It took over 3 hours to nab the first 2, but luckily they were hungry and 2 more went in the trap quickly after that.
Our volunteers are busy people with jobs, families and pets of their own. They make time to rescue feral kittens so that they can be socialized and adopted into good homes with owners who will ensure they are sterilized, so that ultimately there are less starving strays on the street (and fewer cats for our TNR projects come next spring). We are very grateful for their efforts.
We have many adorable kittens currently up for adoption. Please visit our website at www.people4animals.ca to check them out.
