That would be five cats in the house.
And.... once grown... five cats eating Chaos' $60/bag Rx food.
Not to mention Trudy (the mama) out in the barn needing food & vet & all.
I actually made an appt today to have Trudy spayed (June 25) so I can move her to my place.
The struggle is real. We went from 2 to 4 in a very short time with 2 ferals joining our older 2 over the last two years or so. One nearly starved to death after TNR as she was just too small to catch larger wild rabbits and there wasn't a good rodent population at the time. She was living mostly on bugs and failing. So we took her in but couldn't find her a home. At a certain point folks stop answering my calls for homes. The last one DH just wouldn't let back loose knowing we were leaving and she'd die quickly like the rest. Just what we needed in the middle of a move. Gotta get outta here before more ferals show up.
