An update...

Its been busy as usual but we just wanted to update you all on the little neglected cat we picked up last weekend. We have done blood tests on her which didnt show much other than that she has been malnourished and had an injury (like her paw) so we will run tests again in a few weeks. In the meantime she is in foster care and putting on weight plus having her paw treated and is so far doing well.

Since then we have had several more cats come into our care as well as some of our older kittens adopted out to good homes.

Currently we are focused on 2 cases.

Case One: Semi - Feral cats in a factory area South of Perth.

There are many feral cat colonies in factory areas around Perth and one in particular was brought to our attention by a lady who has been feeding them and trying to gain their trust. They have now become an issue with the bosses at the workplace who wants them removed as well as avoiding more breeding of these cats in the area. Declining the Trap Neuter Release option we have now begun trapping them to go into care so we can adopt out the re homable ones and try to rehabilitate the ones that have potential. We have a carer who has built an enclosure for them and is spending her time socialising them. So far we have 3 out of 7 caught and are able to place at least 2 more in the current enclosure. The others however have become wise to our traps and are proving difficult but perseverence will pay off!

Case Two: We recieved a call from Rockingham on Sunday night about a cat that was wandering around a house meowing and trying to get in. The lady stated that she was frightened of cats and had never seen this one in the area before. After door knocking she found that no one knew the cat. We picked her up that night and found that by morning she had a lot of milk build up in her teets so we went in search of her kittens. Hoping she would lead us to them we placed her back in the area and followed her but with no luck. she didnt lead us to her kittens and after speaking to several people in the area no one had seen her either. We also had no luck finding any kittens in the surrounding bushland areas.We have now posted her on various sites and are doing a flyer drop to find where she has come from but we fear that if her kittens are young they may already have met a horrible fate. In the meantime mum cat is safe in foster care.

We will keep you updated on the progress of these cases
