Not me sitting in a lawn chair with a flashlight and a hockey stick chasing away raccoons from the baby kitten underneath our deck who refuses to come out! Been trying to trap this kitten for 2 days. We were in bed and then I heard a SCREAM so now I’m on the kitten night watch. Chasing away raccoons. I’ve seen the same one six times now in the last 2.5 hours
Don’t know if the scream was the kitten or the raccoon just being a raccoon and no idea if kitten is injured but here I am at 1:44am sitting in my deck with a hockey stick and very sleep deprived guarding this dumbass kitten who won’t come out from under the deck
Kitten is too light to trigger the cage to close so I’ve got a bottle and string rig set up. Been trying to catch this backyard goblin for 4 days now. Just living under our deck lol
The orphaned kitten in question who refuses to be caught but loves wet food
CAUGHT
We live in the drawer and are Very Feral and Very Spooky but the rage is melting away a little bit everyday
We’ve got really bad ringworm but look how far we’ve come!! We had our first vet appointment earlier this week and we’re doing so great despite the ringworm and intestinal parasites. We even had our first bath this week.
We have unlocked some levels
Thought I’d update y’all! We’re currently fostering this bébé after trapping him when he was living under our deck for about five days.
We’ve been calling him Woodley; he’s about 9/10 weeks old with a really bad case of ringworm that’s resulted in almost complete hair loss of his tail. He had his first round of vaccines and dewormer and is being treated for the ringworm and some intestinal parasites.
He is an incredibly spicy foster baby. I’ve fostered around 28 feral kittens (most from the neonatal age) because I used to be a veterinary technician. Somehow even after my employment I just keep finding feral kittens. The curse of the vet tech lmao
Anyway, he’s getting boosters and his FeLV (feline leukemia) test in a few weeks and will have been about a month into his ringworm treatment by then and hopefully can get him into a rescue group while still fostering him because we have a cat dad extraordinaire adult cat who LOVES foster kittens and teaches them the all important cat socialization, grooming, and healthy play.
Unsure about coat length, I would guess he’ll be a medium hair. As for his color, he seems to be a chocolate colored kitty but who knows if it stays that way. We’ve had him for 2.5 weeks now and it’s some real slow socialization progression but he’s really made some strides in the past two days and demands snugs now (even though he forgets who I am the minute I put him down lmao).
Here’s hoping we don’t end up with a fourth cat lmao
Update: we are completely medically cleared!!! Ringworm has healed, no more intestinal parasites and we are FIV/FeLV negative. Woodley had his second vet appointment yesterday and got the all clear and his booster vaccines. Now we can really focus on finding him a loving home!
Woodley got to meet our cat Fletcher today who is cat dad extraordinaire and he also posed for a mini photo shoot
A handsome bébé
Please enjoy some recent photos of Woodley who I think is going to be an enormous cat lmao. His personality has really started to shine and he’s just such a sweet and playful kitten. Also his fur is growing longer! He is becoming a fluffy man! We are in danger of having a fourth cat at this point!!
It you were me, Fourth Cat would be a given. :->
