I haven't seen the mama feral Skittish in over a week. Close to two weeks.

[Siwsan]

She was Mittens the Kitten and Scooter's mom and an every day meal guest for about 3 years so I am pretty sure she's on the other side of that Rainbow Bridge. Nothing would make me happier than to see her turn up but I'm not hopeful.

2. Did you ever try to catch her?

In Seattle they have a spay program for ferals and then they clip their ear to show they have been spayed. We had a Momma cat that dropped about 3 litters on us and we were able to finally capture her and get her to the vet and she eventually found a home. We found homes for all the babies as they lived with us for a while to get ready for their new homes.

5. Unfortunately the only place I've found charges $40 to spay/neuter

And they limit intake to Tuesday through Thursday, 7 to 9am. That can get very expensive.

Skittish was trap shy. They neighbor tried for the longest time, with no success. She did have one more litter of 3 that looked exactly like her. Only two are still around.

A friend is coming to visit and she has a LOT of experience with ferals. Maybe my luck will change.

7. Good wishes to you and your

friend - ferals are very tricky to work with, it takes time time time and lots of luck. I hope Momma feral is ok and will show up again. Thank you for taking care of those babies.

8. I've rescued 8 kittens from a feral existence. That makes me feel good.

I was watching Arthur and Madoc as they watched some of the ferals eating and I had to smile. I wonder if they have any notion of how good they have it (because I found them so early) compared to their outdoor cousins. I'm going to snuggle them extra, tonight.

3. All the best...

….to that sweet kitty who found love through you with food. Sending all the good Karma to the universe that she is okay, and comes back to you. I will hold out HOPE for her, and for you.

4. There's a chance she's got a new caretaker.

6. There are a couple other households in the neighborhood that feed the ferals

So, MAYBE she's relocated.

10. That could

be.

9. I hope she is safe and that you will find her again.

You have been a good and faithful mom to the ferals.
