Friday Memes are back again!

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

It’s time to get those Friday Smiles going again. I have a guest today that everyone knows!!

She is a Queen!! Enter Her Royal Highness Queen Katie Isabella!!

There you have it! I bring you Queen Katie Isabella who lacks nothing when it comes to her regal image and yet, lacks a good bit when it comes to having what the humans call a “poker face”!!! She knows exactly where those “car rides” end up and it ain’t pretty from where she sits when she sings the song of her people in the carrier!!!

And another well known guest today, one of my lovely pals from across the pond.

Yes you are correct. That is indeedy do Ms. Erin the Cat Princess. And might I add a darn good writer as well! You simply MUST be reading her blog as she has the best ever sense of cat humor!

Here’s hoping you enjoyed my guest memes today. Let me know what’cha think in comments.

And just thought I would ask, if you, my blog followers, might consider “liking” our new Facebook page for my Paw It Forward program @deltaviewcats. We sure do need more likes and followers ‘cuz the Facebook masters don’t wanna share our posts unless we have lots more “likes/followerd”. We have one hundred but need like a kabillion more!! Appreciate your support pals!!

Finding Community Cat Caregivers to Help!!

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

My Project Delta View Cats (PDVC) program is gonna be one of my best Paw It Forward Projects ever!! And our team of committed volunteers are gonna make this happen for sure.

This last Saturday seven volunteers canvassed seventy-eight homes in a neighborhood that is part of our pilot for Targeted Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) work. We went door to door with our PDVC brochure, a door hanger about “What Is a Community Cat” that is written in English and Spanish and we took a lot of good will with us!

Getting organized

Our volunteers have already been trapping in this neighborhood but they still found about four additional homes we need to help with spay, neuter. It was great that they all saw several kitties with ear tips!! YAY!!! PDVC has been making a difference. And the residents were all really helpful and appreciative of what we are trying to do to humanely reduce the community cat population in this neighborhood.

Our bonus for the day was having a resident PDVC has already been helping with TNR of his small eleven cat colony let us know where a mom cat stashed her four babies!!

Miss Jeanne and Mom L and Miss Sarah were on getting those kittens and mom cat fast! Kittens were easy to pick up and get into a carrier.

Where is our Mom!

Mom was wanting her kittens but she was wary. She was so tiny herself, likely less than a year old and about five pounds tops!!

I want my babies!

So Miss Jeanne and Mom L set up a mom cat trap using the kittens as bait. I posted about them doing this last year, remember? The kittens stay in the carrier, door closed. A humane cat trap is set with one closed end against the carrier and the triggered door at opposite end set. The whole contraption is covered in towels to make it a safe feeling dark space.

Mom hung around for about three hours, never going into the trap. Finally Mom L put some smelly fishy cat food in the trap at the end nearest her kittens and bang!! Mom cat was so hungry herself and worried about her kittens that she finally went into the set trap.

I hope you had a great Saturday ‘cuz I am sure proud of the productive one Mom L and Dad P and the team of PDVC volunteers pulled off! Mom cat and kittens were taken to our county animal services where kittens, already weaned, will go to a foster until adoption and Mom cat will be spayed this week and returned to her caretaker. No more kittens for her!!! She is practically a kitten herself but she was taking good care of her first litter.

Friday Smiles from Friday Memes

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

This week I am featuring some of our kitties from Project Delta View Cats flagship community cat colony at a local city park.

That is sweet orange Garfield being led to the food station by his ever present tabby buddy Walter. They are great friends in this colony. Garfield is almost fifteen years old and in desperate need of a dental. He gets his special soft food meal once a day and as much as he can eat.

And this is our newest little cutie pie who was dumped here from another area. We know this because she has an ear tip, and WE didn’t give that to her!! She is still shy but such a darling kitty. We still have not named her. If you were to name this kitty, what would it be??? Give me a shout out in comments!!

This is a photo of our former kitten fosters Rocky and Chloe!! Rocky is STILL the huggy guy he was as a kitten!! And Chloe still tolerates her brother!!
