July 24, 2024 Kristy, a FURR Volunteer, notified me about some cats living in a junk yard in Burgaw, NC, near Wilmington.
She met the man that owns it and took some food for the poor skinny cats. There is a mama cat, 2 male cats and 2 kittens.
With Kristy’s help, we trapped the 2 kittens and took them to the Cape Fear S/N clinic last week. My intention was to get them fixed, shots, etc., and release them again. However, the kittens are young and sooo skinny! They are about 10-12 weeks old. I have had them recovering at my feral cat sanctuary.
The 2 kittens are “Yardley”, a female Domestic Short Hair gray tabby, and “Scrappy”, a male Domestic Short Hair with black fur.
They started out scared to death and eyes bigger than saucers. Now, a week later, they seem glad to see me, I’m petting and holding both of them and they are purring! They will be moved up to the house, and join Connor, after quarantine.
Another rescue group is helping me TNR the mama and other 2 male cats. The sad part is that the mama tabby is really skittish, but wants love. She could easily be tamed and adopted out, but I just don’t have any room at this time.
