Quit the job, cat trapping is done, kittens for adoption...

Nothing much to add, I've got no major rants right now and the rescue work as died down a fair bit. The area we were trapping in we think we've caught them all now so thats done. I'm hoping to get involved in another one soon, it reall is alot of fun despite getting tore up.

I've quit my job at River Grove Animal Hospital. And I must advise anyone and everyone should you be looking to change vets or for a vet do not go there. It is not a well run clinic. When we (MHS) used the clinic and left the ferals there to be spayed or to find foster homes we were under the impression things wouldn't be skipped out on, such as food, medical attention and doing the surgeries properly. There was more then one time I had to call Tina and have her bring food for the cats as there was no food to be found for them. The vet didn't seem worried. Two cats died in his care that didn't need to, one had just come from another vet clinic to get spayed, Pico was healthy but too feral so was going back outside she died without reason after her spay. A young kitten died who was bouncing around fine in the carrier, was fine until she was taken there and then I found out she had died and he hadn't told MHS she had, they had a foster home lined up for her and asked me if she was ready to go and I had to tell them she had died the same day that Pico did. He said it was because she had dirrahea. I've mentioned to him some cats downstairs of runny eyes, he didn't go look at them, I took it upon myself to give them the eye cream without his consent because their eyes were looking so bad. I've been told by previous employees that sometimes the animals go for two days without food because he runs out, he skips things during surgeries because he's run out of it, one thing being the drug that numbs the area of the surgery, pain medication. He gets anry and yells and clients when they refuse a treatment after he has given them the option to refuse a treatment such as fluids during surgery and then yells as the employees for letting them do it. He's refused treatment to MHS animals because their foster parent was a former employee of his and he didn't want her to ever come into his clinic again because she quit to start her own business in grooming, making her go to a vet further away and risking the lives of the kittens adn mother cat she had. Two of these kittens have now died. Among other things, this vet is not a good vet, the things I've been told and seen are not made up so I have no fear of him reading this as I know what I saw and what the other employees saw before they got fed up and left. Sooner or later he is going to get in trouble for how he does things, for killing someone's pet. So please, don't go there, don't give him your money. I'm not a disgruntled employee, I'm worried for the sake of the animals that people trust him to make better and care about instead of the money they bring in.

Now that that is said, Wilson and Kutner are up for adoption now, they are up on the MHS website http://www.mississaugahumanesociety.com/ and I would like them to go together. They do have eye infections so even if they are adopted before their infections clear I'd like them to stay here and get treated so they can go to their new homes healthy. There is going to be another kitten adopt-a-thon this weekend at the Petsmart on Mavis and these guys will be there as well I.

Ignorance and irresponsibility is all it is.

A lot of people feel this way, I feel this way everyday and to be honest there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t feel like smacking someone around from a post I’ve read on a forum or I’ve met in real life. The reason most people seem to breed their DSH or Dalchiadore is because they are cute, will bring in money, want their kids to experience the miracle of birth and other stupid ideas. But I read one today that just blew my mind, perhaps it was the last straw, I had one nerve left on this subject and it’s now been severed. This person came into ownership of two cats, both just your ever day common cat saying since they had a male and female why not breed them and see what kind of kittens they make… because you know, they might produce some rare colored DSH that the world has never seen. I don’t mean to sound nasty but honestly! You want to see kittens? Go to your local shelter or rescue, go look behind an industrial building where I bet you $100 you‘ll find a feral colony with kittens, or even look at pictures on the internet, because that’s what they will produce.

Everyone always says who comes onto a forum about these ideas that they already have homes lined up, that friends and family are dying for a baby from their DSH or Heinz 57, if they are dying for a pet tell them to go to the local shelter or rescue and pick one out, go to a reputable breeder that tests their animals on a regular basis that isn’t breeding mutt to mutt, and making some “wonderful” designer breed, isn’t testing their animals and passing on health problems and knows what they are doing not just doing it because they want to but to better the breed. But guess what those homes you have lined up… they bail out, they decided they no longer want the animal and dump it, can’t afford it and the animal suffers or due to ignorance abuse the animal because they don’t know any better. If you want to breed your animal, and want to make sure it always has the best possible home then you keep it, you’re responsible for that life because you helped create it. So if that family or friend can no longer care for it or don’t want to care for it will you open your door and take the animal back? If your answer is no or I don’t know or anything but yes don’t go breeding your animal, if your not bettering the breed don’t breed it, if you aren’t prepared to test, vaccinate, deworm and give all the proper medical needs to the sire and dam as well as the offspring don’t breed it!

You realize that breeding your beloved family pet takes away a home for a homeless shelter animal for every life your pet carries? “Oh someone will adopt it” no, someone won’t adopt every animal out there, there are kill shelters out there that put a time limit on their animals not because they are horrible people and want to put these sweet animals down because we bred them and didn’t want to care for them but because they have no choice. Shelters and rescues have limits in funding and space; they aren’t some rich massive havens that keep every and any animal that comes in their doors no matter how long it takes to find them a home. Some are, but not all. I firmly believe if you want to breed your animal, your family pet just because, you need to work one day at a kill shelter and hopefully that will change your mind about breeding Bugsy the beloved stray cat you took in because you want a memory of her when she dies, or Molly the unregistered, family, mystery mutt because it’ll bring some extra income in while your on maternity leave.

Do you realize that EVERY DAY 70,000 puppies and kittens are born in this country while only 10,000 people are born? There simply aren’t enough homes for all those shelter animals, those unregistered, non bred standard family pets you just had to breed. And with every new life you help bring into this world you’re taking away a home from one of those shelter animals who people bred and just like you were sure they’d be in a forever home because it was a family friend ore family member who took them.

Every year 10 -12 million animals are euthanized because there aren’t enough homes out there? And no one wants to own up to the animals they bred and take them back when their owners no longer and can’t care for them.

Even if you breed purebreds its no guarantee they won’t end up in a shelter. 30% of all shelter animals are purebreds, papers don’t mean you should breed the animal. You need to be prepared to take back anything you bred.

Not only does spaying and neutering help with the over population problem it helps with behavior and health problems.
By altering your pet you reduce the risk of your pet:

- Roaming as they do this to find mates.
- Being bitten, scratched, getting into fights as this happens during fights over a female who when a male crosses into another males territory to get to a female, even the female who is not ready to breed will inflict painful and serious damage to a male. Also it means less likely of a chance of the animal getting a painful infection or abscess from wounds inflicted during this time.
- Developing cancers in the testicals and uterus.
- Developing pyometra which is a painful disease of the uterus, its sudden and deadly if left untreated for too long it has been compared to acute appendicitis in us. It happens at any age, and doesn’t matter if the female was ever bred or not.
- Altered cats are less likely to spray, even females spray.
- Reduces the risk of cats getting FeLV or FIV as well as other diseases that can be transferred during the mating of cats or dogs.
-Neutered cats won’t develop “stud tail”, this is caused by over active glands in the male cat’s tail.

It's also been proven that altered animals live longer healthier lives.

Do your pet a favor, do those who work and volunteer their time at rescues and shelters a favor, spay and neuter, adopt if you want a pet, foster if you have kitten fever or want to see the miracle of birth there are plenty of foster homes needed for pregnant cats/dogs and kittens/puppies. You don’t have to wait for the animal to have their first heat; you don’t have to wait for them to be 7 months old and then it becoming too late. You can fix your pet before their first heat and as early as 6 – 14 weeks

A Prayer From Those Who Can't Talk

I ask for the privilege of not being born ... not to be born until you can assure me of a home and a master to protect me, and the right to live as long as I am physically able to enjoy life ... not to be born until my body is precious and men have ceased to exploit it because it is cheap and plentiful.

No, they are not fine and healthy!

I know most of this blog has been about cats, but that’s what I’m involved in right now. I hope to soon get involved with more of the dog area of the humane society soon and even start foster some dogs as Drifter has moved back in with my parents. But I was emailed today about a colony we’re trying to trap; the owner of the building where these cats live behind was met and he sees nothing wrong the cats being there doesn’t want them touched as they catch the mice. He doesn’t seem to understand that some of them NEED medical treatment; some have bad eye problems and burrs firmly matted into their hair so tightly the skin is being punctured. They have fleas, mites, and worms. He thinks they are all just fine living off the mice they catch, the colony is over a dozen from what we were able to see and still new ones pop up. So this is to enlighten those who don’t seem to understand that the life of a feral is not easy.

Burrs so tightly matted into this kitten they were in her skin and surgery was thought to be needed. Thankfully we managed to get them all out (there were more patches of them on her) by shaving her down.

Feral cats are cats that have returned back to their wild state of mind due to being apart from humans for so long. Some are out of house pets who were never spayed/neutered and let outside, others were born to family pets (strays) who were dumped. The difference with ferals and strays is that strays were family pets that were dumped while ferals have never been in a home as a pet and have known nothing but the outside world and all its dangers.

Where one colony lives, among pipes, lumber and heavy traffic with large trucks on one side and a busy main road on the other, airplanes fly over head every few minutes as the airport is only a few blocks away.


The average life span of a feral cat is around 5 – 6 years, most of the time less, sometimes more. Some people will claim the same cat has been around for 15 years in their backyard or behind their business but really it’s the offspring or grand offspring of the first cat or a cat that looks similar to the first cat. Many people can’t tell the difference between two black/tabby/white/spotted/ etc cats for two reasons a) they don’t care enough or b) they just aren’t able to tell the difference as they never get close enough to the cat. Most of the ferals die off at an early age, usually around 2 years, if they go over this mark it’s a surprising. The littlest scratch can become horribly and painfully infected in a feral, slowly killing them.

A starving feral kitten.

These cats don’t get two if not more meals plus numerous table scraps a day, they don’t have a constant source of fresh water in a cute little dish that as “spoiled rotten” written on the bottom with little paw prints and fish around the sides. Ferals have to search out there food, be it mice, birds or dumpster diving these cats have to work for every mouthful sometimes going on an empty stomach for a few days. They don’t get to pick the beast grub out there, if the mice have eaten poison before being eaten, if the birds have some disease, if the meat they stole from the dumpster is rotten they get the painful effects of it They suffer, no one is there to offer them the best of the best every day twice a day.

A feral cat we caught that had such a severe eye infection the ate was eaten away. The affected eye has since been removed. Two kittens have now had eye removals from this colony.

Injuries and disease slowly kill them off, the smallest scratch or puncture can become horribly infected, worms and fleas slowly suck the life out of both adults and kittens. Infections are numerous and run rampant in feral colonies. The littlest infection will kill the kittens if they haven’t died from starvation or the elements. 80% of feral kittens die in their first year, but kittens, they gain sympathy from us humans when we see them and therefore they end up getting rescued. Rescues like Mississauga Humane end up going out and grabbing these kittens knowing full well that there are probably plenty of adults as well in horrid situations. Then you end up with hissy little kittens who want to hide under and in anything they can wiggle into/under. Though kittens of a certain age can be tamed and turned into wonderful housecats, this is of course if anyone sees them and tries to help. If they aren’t taken pity on or even noticed, if they live past their first year they stick around the colony and help it expand. Cats can and will breed as young as 6 months of age having litters ranging from 1 kitten to 8 kittens on average with as many as 3 litters per year. One female and one male can produce 429,000 kittens in just 7 years, how many would a colony of a dozen females and males produce in that length of time?

This poor girl was trapped and later died, her insides were filled with a yellow fluid making her look heavily pregnant.

TNR steps in when a colony is found. Usually this is a rescue that sends out volunteers to place traps out to catch the cats, baiting them with smelly cat food, fish, turkey, chicken anything that has a good smell to it and will lure them into the trap. If kittens are caught they are put into foster care to be tamed and hopefully adopted, though even when you get a kitten at the perfect age to turn around (10 weeks and younger) they sometimes can not be tamed. All of the cats if they are old enough and neutered/spayed, treated for any medical problems and if they are too feral they are returned to the site they were caught. To know which cats have been caught the vet will ear tip them; ear tipping is removing the point of one of the ears while they are getting neutered/spayed. This doesn’t cause any harm or distress to the cat. There are many people, who disagree with TNR, but those types of people are everywhere and you won’t change their minds. They see ferals as pests, disease spreading pests who should all be put to sleep. In some cases there is no option and they are put down but in many if the colony is maintained they are released or are placed in barns that have agreed to take on feral cats.

These cats are NOT fine out there, they need medical attention, many of them do some might not show it like the poor white and black female who died at the clinic and found out after that she had a thick yellow fluid in her organs. Others like the poor grey and white kitten would have died and slow and painful death from a little infection that was left untreated for too long. Several we have trapped have been nothing but skin and bones as it was thought they didn't need to be fed, they could fend for themselves which they can't, not when the colony is a large one, when they have kittens, when larger cats come in and steal away the food from the hungry mouths of small kittens. That any injury they have from a car, other wild animal or dog they will adapt to and be fine, they won't they will die a slow death. They won't be fine without shelter and won't be just fine in a freezing cold blizzard in the dead of winter. They need care, they need to be spayed and neutered, to be maintained. If your fine with them on your property, catching unwanted rodents then fine, but don't think they are just fine out there without any care, we humans created this problem so don't say it isn't your problem to deal with it is. Even more so if you tell us you want the cats kept around for rodent catching.

We caught 9 kittens all around 4 weeks old. All were infested with fleas and ear mites, had runny stool and bad eye infections. Several now have bad UTI's and are in and out of the vet clinic.

Adopt us?

First off, there is another kitten adopt-a-thon at Petsmart in the Heartland Town Center this weekend. The last one did so well we decided to do another to try and find homes for the remaining kittens we have. If your looking to add another member to the family feel free to drop on by it's at Mavis and Britannia. Not looking for a kitten? Thats fine, we'll also have posters up with information about some of our adult cats and our dogs and how you can adopt them if your interested.

Now onto some cats and dogs. First the cats, I went to the cat room at Petcetera today to take some picture of the cats there, these guys are all looking for their forever homes!

Rusty
Rusty is a sweet, gentle and affectionate cat. He loves to get a good scratch under his chin or to butt heads with you while purring up a storm. When there isn't any attention to be given he'll happily go curl up for a good nap. He's 6 years old and neutered. Contact Petcetera at 905-615-1419

Starbuck & Simpson
Starbuck is 5 months old, neutered and very friendly. He's very playful and curious. Simpson is the shy brother, he'd rather remain in the background then to be fussed over as he's a little uncertain of us humans. He's 5 months old and neutered, he'll need some TLC to become to perfect lapcat that we all believe he can be. He gets his confidence from Starbuck, and would like to be adopted with him. Contact Petcetera at 905-615-1419

Joey
Joey is a sweet, 5 year old, neutered male. He's very content to just curl up and sleep, but can also be a very outgoing guy. He loves his food, and is slowly starting to gain his weight back. Contact Petcetera at 905-615-1419

Cooper
Cooper is a whole lotta cat to put it nicely. It's not his fault he loves to eat, but he for sure needs to loose those extra pounds and love in moderation! He's 6 years old, and neutered. Cooper is a very friendly, healthy boy, despite his weight problem but does want a home, he spends his days sitting at the door in the catroom and looking out at all those who walk by. Contact Petcetera at 905-615-1419

Silkie
Silkie is a very friendly yet shy, spayed female. She's around 1.5 -2 years of age and needs an experienced owner as she doesn't like to be picked up and needs some TLC to come around fully, as she is still a little scared of people. Contact Tina at 416-358-0083


Moonbeam & Mandrake
This brother and sister pair are around 6 months old and are spayed/neutered. Moonbeam is the more outgoing and friendly sibling, while her brother, Mandrake is shy and timid, but would be more confident with her presence! They have been together since birth and they really want to be adopted together. Contact Petcetera at 905-615-1419

Maya
Maya is a sweet 17 week old, spayed female. She's a relative of my trio as well as Betty as they were all caught at the same area by the airport. She can be a bit shy at first but once you show her some love she's a giant cuddlebug. Contact Petcetera at 905-615-1419

Betty
Betty is a shy girl, 14 weeks old and spayed. She's not sure what to think of people yet and can get scared easily. Once she feels comfortable with you however she's a total lovebug much like her relative, Maya. She really needs to find a family that can help bring her around and show her we aren't all that bad. Contact Petcetera at 905-615-1419

Now from some dogs that are looking for some wonderful homes and families.

Sadie
I am a beagle, female, a petite girl of just about 20 lbs, 6 yrs old. They say I can be the role model for all beagles - I am quiet , sweet, gentle, friendly, quiet, calm... I get along fine with the dog and cats in my foster home. In my previous home I was left alone for longs hours daily, so I am looking for a loving forever home who will give me all the attention and treat me like a princess - and I am worth it! Contact my foster mom at 905-272-0436.

Landis
I am a Beagle X, male, about 4 yrs old. Heres a bio by my foster mom: "Landis is an adorable dog. If you are looking to add a dog to your home of cats then Landis is the one for you. He is currently living with 4 cats and gets along with all of them wonderfully. He is a dream in the house. He has never had an accident. He doesn't chew on things or bark. He just loves to hang out and relax. He is also living with 3 children and is gentle and calm with them. Landis LOVES to go for walks. He is also learning the basic commands such as come, sit and stay and would definitely benefit from some obedience training. Landis a very sweet little dog who will do well in a loving home with an experienced owner." Contact Lisa at yugiblue@rogers.com or 416-444-3082

Byron
I am a beagle, male, 5-6 yrs old, about 35 lbs. I am a very loving and affectionate boy. I would not stopping wagging my tail until you give me a pet. I am good with kids and other dogs; well behaved in the house and houstrained. I meet with all the criteria for a great family pet. Please come and see me ASAP before I am taken! Contact David at 905-823-0829

Gallagher
I'm a male Foxhound, about 3 yrs old. My foster mom thinks I am an absolute doll, and will make some family very lucky! Like Jake, I was kept chained up outside. I did not know what a home is until MHS came to my rescue, but I sure love living in a house now! Who knew couches were so comfy? I live with 5 other dogs in my foster home and I love them all! I'm very gentle, and great with kids. I don't have a mean bone in my body! I'm learning house rules, like not jumping on counters and that I'm only allowed to pee on trees. I really want to be a good dog, and I would benefit from some obedience training, although I'm pretty calm and well-behaved considering my breed! I just need to learn some basic commands and walking skills. I love to play outside but I'm calm inside. A fenced yard is probably a good idea, because although I *love* to be with you, I'm a hound after all! Contact Kathy at 905-894-7258 or email katyra_tollers@yahoo.ca

Bailey
am female Beagle X, 7 months, about 26 lbs. Heres a bio by my foster mom: "Bailey is very friendly, playful and doesn't bark. She is good around other dogs. She needs a family that is committed to continue with her training. It would be wonderful if someone was home for her during the day until she bonds and gets used to her new enviroment. She will walk on a leash and needs more training to know who the leader is. She responds very well to sit and stay. She is very adaptable and smart and is doing very well with her training. She really likes to be outside, so a fenced yard would be great. She is a very nice, good natured dog. She has had a bit of an unstable start and has been in several homes already. She really needs a home where the family is familiar with dogs and has the time to give a puppy. Her new family need to be willing to give her love and attention and be committed to her well being. Its best she goes to a home with no small children." Contact Linda Pizzale at 905-629-2219 lindapizzale@magma

A little patience

So, I somehow collected another foster kitten. I've mentioned her before, Patience. I hated to think of her in the basement at the clinic all by herself crying so I took her home with me yesterday, there is another women who was going to foster Posey, who unfortunately didn't make it who I'm told will take her. It's just getting her to call me back after I've left her a message about her. She's a skittish little girl, but not at all nasty, she's hissed and swatted at us a few times but it was out of fear not her being nasty. Can't blame her either, she's never been in a house before, around people and without her family. She's already starting to come around though. She's already worked her way into the hearts of the trio. She now thunders around after them, wrestling and giving them a run for their money. Even Bosco has taken to her faster then normal, caught them today in the middle of a grooming session which generally Bosco doesn't do with kittens, not even the trio!

MHS is in need!

Mississauga Humane Society is running low on foster homes, we've had several dogs and cats come in and just simply don't have enough foster homes for all of them leaving us no choice but to keep them in vet clinics or boarding kennels. You don't have to be a resident of Mississauga to be a foster parent so if your interested contact MHS by phone or e-mail.

Our foster care program is crucial to the well being of the animals that we have in our care. Foster care providers give our rescued animals a temporary home until a permanent home is found, this can take anywhere from a few days to sadly several months.

Without a foster home, we have no choice but to place these animals in a boarding kennel. This is especially difficult for us as more often than not these animals were confined for a long period of time before we rescued them. A foster home provides these animals with a warm and loving home. A home where they can at last feel like a valued family member. This transition makes the animal easier to adopt. Animals that are confined to a kennel for a long period of time can be unmanageable.

If you love animals ~ YOU can be a foster care provider! The MHS will provide the food and all of the expenses involved in caring for the animal(s) that you foster. We will ask you a few questions, do a home check, and will match you with the animal that would be suitable for you and your family.

Our foster care providers become quite attached to the animals in their care that sometimes they adopt them themselves. This is not necessary but we are sure you will find that providing foster care to animals in need is a rewarding experience.

We also are in need of a few other items and services. If you can help then contact MHS.

Shedding Tears

First about the trio. All three of them now have watery eyes, Chase' look the worst, red rims and his white hair just looks awful when wet. Wilson and Kutner are sneezing, I've yet to hear anything from Chase but then Wilson just started so he'll probably get it too. I've got to bring them in to get looked at, I'm thinking URTI. Their adoptive momma, Reyna now also has one watery eye that as green gunk coming out, great. So to the vet they go, possibly tonight I'm not sure. otherwise they have been great, Chase is by far the biggest now, Kutner looks big but its all floof, though he's not badly sized and then there is Wilson. The poor bugger is skin and bones, I don't think Chase is letting him near the food, and now that Kutner isn't so tiny and weak anymore he's now become Chase's sidekick. So I'll have to step in about that, though he's not acting tired or sick. Hard keeper? They'll get their first shots soon, but they are up for adoption now, just not ready to leave so if anyone is interested in them drop me a line.

Cought two more small kittens, one was covered in burrs and had to be shaved as she was longhair and the other was a cute little tortie about the size of the trio. We've called them Patience and Posey. I'll add some pictures of Patience but didn't get any of Posey, sorry. I'll get some today. As well as an older kitten who gave me a good aprting gift and once again my hand is wrapped up.

Patience after just coming in. She had burrs stuck to her everywhere, can't seem them very well in the picture as they were so far into her hair they were covered up and into her skin so badly we thought we were going to have to do surgery.

Stuck between her hind legs. This was a bad one to get out, several layers of burrs, feathers, and other objects plus all that hair matted into a ball and into her skin. There were several others spots too that were bad but this was the worst.

Patience after her haircut and a bath. She was such a good girl through it all, a few complaints and some squirming but nothing horrible. She's an angel even with her haircut.

The kitten adopt-a-thon was a great success! Might do another this weekend.

More watery eyes, but this time they belong to us. Two of the cats we trapped have died this week during their spays. One looked very similar to Chase, and we assume she was their mama. We though she had had a litter as she had a belly for the first few weeks and then she didn't. Turns out she hadn't had a litter recently, it was all fluid in her organs. She died during surgery. The other was an older kitten, tabby with white that we were putting back outside as she was too feral. The same one who ripped my hand open a few weeks back. They aren't sure what went wrong, she was fine during surgery but when they put her back in her compartment to wake up she died. They think it was a heart attack. I feel awful for the poor creatures, but in a way I'm happy for them, those two won't have to endure the winter, won't have to deal with disease or the every day hardships of a feral cat in the city. But then I feel like I've killed them, stolen their lives.

Update Time

I haven't been doing this as often as I should be.

First of all our one cat, Bosco had to be sent to the Vets. Wasn't eating/drinking, runny stool, high blood sugar (he's diabetic). He stayed there for three days, where they did several tests on him, his liver had high then normal levels and his pancreas is swollen. They thought he had a bile duct blockage but can't see anything due to all the swelling so they've sent him home and told us to bring him back should he get worse. There was the option of doing an exploratory surgery but Blake decided to see how things go for now. He came home with a "lovely" hair cut, leg, neck and stomach shaved. Which is not a good look for a fat cat!

Drifter has moved back with my parents for several reasons, msotly he was so stressed living here I decided it was best for him. One of these days I'll have another dog, but not right now. I miss him so much.

I've now become the offical MHS photographer. :) Yay me.

Dropped my camera in water, so I was without a camera for awhile, have a new one now and will show some new pics of the kittens. They've grown so much!

Wilson has an eye infection now that is being treated and it seems that there may also be some upper respiratory going on with Kutner.

Also if your in to greater Toronto area and have nothing to do this weekend, Mississauga Humane Society is having a kitten adoptathon at Petsmart (Mavis + Britannia road, across from Krispy Kreme). Its runs from 11am-3pm on Saturday and Sunday. Only kittens will be there are we have an overload of kittens looking for homes, if this proves to be a success we'll have an adult cat adoptathon later on. Sadly these little guys won't be there as they aren't old enough + they don't have their first shots yet but there will be plenty of other kittens there!
