SOUTH CAROLINA RESCUE

Fire Twins Story
Save Our Strays has been actively working in a South Carolina community, to assist the neighborhood in reducing the number of feral, and community cats. We have trapped, spayed and neutered over the last year.  Unfortunately, all it takes is a few new cats moving into the area to start the whole scenario up again.
 
Neighbors noticed a new white cat in the neighborhood, and put out a plea for help.  We asked specific community members that we had worked with previously, to keep a look out and establish a pattern.  The white cat, friendly, was taken in by another homeowner very recently, who said she would be an indoor cat and would be spayed appropriately.
 
The white cat has not been seen outside since, but a tiny white kitten was found crying along a fence line belonging to one of our fosters.  A Foster mom sprang into action, and scooped up the baby, bathed her, treated her little ears, fed her and set her up in her own little apartment for an isolation period.  The Foster mom then canvassed the entire are looking for the mom, and siblings.  No one had seen, and no one heard anything.
 
A little white female cat, with gray markings, approximately 6-7 weeks of age, began to socialize beautifully.  Four days later, another tiny sibling showed up in the yard, crying.  The Foster mom immediately scooped them up again, and repeated the process.  The second girl is almost a carbon copy of the first.
 
The two girls were very happy to be back together, and are both going to be awesome housecats.  Their first veterinary appointment has been scheduled for testing, deworming, first vaccines and ear mite treatment.
