Dusty and Graham getting some cat cuddle time

Posted Monday, September 12, 2016, at 9:01 AM
On my lap

The epidemic continues folks so any one who would like to adopt these guys PLEASE step forward. We have at least 10 new kittens of multi colors outside and I am not sure if the moms are starting to push them off on us.

I can handle it if they are mostly weaned and potty trained, but I am not sure they are there yet. A few will "walk into" the food dish and come up with food-face, but I am not convinced so I bring them milk formula.

The mothers keep relocating the brood closer to the door so I think they are trying to give me the big HINT. That means I have to have room in the house so Graham and Dusty need to find a new home. PLEASE?

I am looking into a cat birth control (Megestrol Acetate) that hopefully will give us a break of several months to get the females fixed. Right now catching them seems to keep coming up with those who are nursing and I am not going to give them more reason to dump their babies on us, nor do I know where they all are, so....

As soon as I know the existing babies are old enough to live with Mom, I will capture, fix and release.

It used to go by a brand name but disappeared. Actually approved by the FDA since the '50s but has disappeared for some reason.

It is not a permanent fix, just a monthly birth control to give feral cats until they can be caught and neutered.

Anyone know of this product?

  • We were able to place Dusty's sister last week in a great home. Beggars can be choosers because we actually screen the families who want to adopt.

    As long as they are not adopting to provide their dog with a play toy and have some stability, we usually accept but we have turned a few down as well.

    We have no adoption fee but we would like them to donate to a pet rescue organization. If they pay something they may take better care and the organization benefits as well.

    We also offer a free return program. If the cat/s do not work out, we will take them back.

    Steve, Dusty and Graham sure are cute. I would love to have them but I already am overloaded with cats. Good luck.

  • I loved how they posed for the cameo shot. Not sure at what or to whom they were looking, but it worked well. The next shot was looking straight at me.
