Felt very bad for poor kitteh

It's for their own good but...

Colony Caregivers lady came up last to trap 2 last night for TNR spay/neuter clinic today. She got two.

She always calls me out just to double check to make sure she's got right ones because some vets don't do ear tipping very well, and also to confirm it's one who lives here and not some neighbors cat.

Well one was just ticked, but the other ones' eyes were just so dilated and terrified looking and of course she had to look right at me like "why are you letting this happen?" I couldn't help but feel sorry but it has to be done.

Two more after these two, then all nine of the barn gang will be fixed and no more over populating for them.

It's been a long process but thanks to the Caregivers group the end is now in sight. I just hope no one else drops anymore off or no new kitties decide to join group.

I reeeeally wish we could talk with kitties and explain things.

You are doing a good thing!

I wish they could understand us too. I would have told her and the best thing is less kitties to share means more food for you!

Surgeries successfully completed! Boy did they scramble out once traps were released! It's hard to believe there are only two left to go to clinic.

I can't say enough about how dedicated the women of the Caregivers are to helping cats who through no fault of their own were left to fend for themselves, not to mention the offspring they produce.

I'm am proud to have helped the ones who chose my barn to call home, by making sure they get regular access to food and water, and to know I've played a small part in helping to reduce the number of kittens born into a very difficult life.
