With the arrival of the new kittens, I had a surprise this morning when I went into the room. The girl was heavily pregnant!  Knowing it was an inbred pregnancy, I called the vet and took her in to be spayed this morning. I can deal with the intact males- worse case scenario the longer we hold off on the neuters the more of a chance they start spraying and or fighting- but I can’t have a litter here right now- especially from an inbred colony. 🙁

If you can send any money our way right now, it is needed! I have to cover at least this day’s visit with testing and spaying an take home pain medication will run $190.00  I don’t want us to run up any more vet bill then necessary and take the risk of having our clinic tell us we need to take a hike (although they would say it nicely I am sure).

Here are the three new ones- they are no way 6 months old- more like 8 or 9 months at best. The girl that I am calling Shasta is the one with white on her chest and face. The boys are yet unnamed and scared of their own shadow at this point and time.

Still no word from her about the parents. I tried calling the number she left me but it rings to empty air. 🙁  I suspect she will not relinquish her “moneymakers” any time soon and because she insisted we meet in town- I have no clue where she lives.

Here she is after her spay- we raised $68.00 towards the spay, the rest is tacked on to the existing bill

I think she is grateful she doesn’t have to become a young, unwed mother! 🙂 Either that or she is feeling the effects of the anesthesia- LOL

By the way, the woman with the queen and the male tracked me down in town today. She called here and Mike told her I was doing errands in town and she found me at the store. She said she will bring the cats to me tomorrow and when I told her Shasta was pregnant and being spayed she burst out crying. And I don’t think it was tears of joy.
