​ROBBIN’S NEST
 
Hello again.
 
I would like to begin by wishing all of our readers a HAPPY THANKSGIVING.  November is here, and the cooler weather has started.  If you haven’t set up your shelters for the strays, to prepare for the cooler months ahead, now is the time.  We must always remember that “we are their guardians.”
 
          On another note, I would like to tell you about more of the rescues that we have been involved in lately.
 
JOEY & SAMSON –
          I received a call from someone telling me that in an area behind her building,  there were 4 cats, which she had been feeding, that needed to be spayed and neutered.  I went over, and managed to trap 2 of them.  There was one male, and one female.  I took them to one of our veterinarians, and had them checked out, spayed, neutered, given shots etc. and had someone hold them until they were ready to be put back.  When they were put back, I was able to trap the other two cats that where there, and took them to the veterinarian to be taken care of as well.  Because they were males, they did not have to be held as longs as the others.  They are all back in their feeding spot, and doing well.
 
JACK & JILL –
          Save Our Strays received a call from someone saying that they had seen a man carrying a shoebox containing 2 kittens, about 12 days old, that he had recently found on the street.  He had made quite a few calls before this, but no one would help him.  One of the ladies from Save Our Strays called me to see if I could help.  I immediately went to meet this man in Coney Island, and picked up the kittens who were cold, and crying.  Save Our Strays managed to find someone to foster, and bottle feed them, and I dropped them off to the person who was going to care for them.  They were taken to the veterinarian to be checked, and treated.  They were given medication, and Prebiotics for their stomachs, and are doing much better now.  I will keep you informed on their progress.
 
TIMMY, FRANKIE & JOCELYN –
          I was told by another rescuer that there was a spot where there were many cats that needed to be spayed, and neutered.  I went to the spot with another rescuer, and managed to trap 3 kittens.  We took them to one of our veterinarians to be checked out etc, and the doctor said that they where all healthy.  We managed to find a shelter in New Jersey that was willing to work with them, and adopt them out.  They are doing fine now, and coming along well.
