ROBBIN’S NEST
 
Hello again.
 
            It’s hard to believe that the summer is over, and it’s September already?  Please remember to keep an eye out for the strays in your area, and to start setting up shelters for the strays, as the cooler weather is right around the corner.
 
            On another note, I would like to tell you about some of the rescues that we have been involved in lately.
 
SAMMY –
            Sammy is a 4 month old kitten, who I came upon a couple of months ago.  The place where I found him, is one of my worst spots, because none of the cats were spayed or neutered.  They were all extremely skinny, malnourished and had never seen a veterinarian.  I took over the spot, of course, and started feeding them twice a day.  There are so many cats that it is overwhelming.  Anyway, the cats are starting to look better, because they are getting proper nourishment.  We started getting the females spayed first.  Sammy, who we thought was a girl, was extremely friendly.  So, we didn’t have to trap him.  We just put him right into a carrier.  He is extremely sweet.  When we realized he was a male, we had him neutered right away.  I did not want to put him back in the spot,
which is someone’s yard because he is extremely gentle, and sweet.  So, in two days I found a home for him with a person who has 2 other cats.  One senior, and one a little younger.  My friend dropped Sammy off at his new home, and I gave the new owner a crate to keep him in until her cats accept him.
 
BELLA –
            Bella is a white cat that I found around the corner from the spot where Sammy was.  She had to be socialized a little bit, because she had very little or no human contact.  She had an Upper Respiratory Infection, so I took her to one of our veterinarians where she was given treatment.   She was then placed with a foster that works with me, where she was being cared for, and was socialized.  When she was ready, she was taken back to the veterinarians and was spayed, checked, given shots etc.  Then, about three and a half weeks later, we found her a home with a single woman and she, and the woman are very happy together.
 
HARRY –
            One day, while at one of my feeding spots, I spotted Harry a gray Tabby cat.  He was very skinny, and sickly looking.  He hardly ate any of the food that I put down.  So, I set up a trap, and put some salmon in it, which he liked, followed the smell and after a while he finally went in.  I brought him right to one of our veterinarians where he was checked out, and treated and the doctor said that he needed to be built up.  I took him home, and still have him in my house where he will be cared for.  When he is ready, I will decide what to do next, and will update you on his progress.  Meanwhile, he is safe, and being cared for.
