After so many trial and error attempts of trying to trap Orange Mist, I ended up tricking this cat into going into one of the enclosures. Once the cat was inside, I boarded up the access to the catio on the side and now this orange kitty that needs vet care so desperately is now inside the deck enclosure. I don’t know the gender- I am just hoping that with some more trickery, I can coax him/her into a carrier today and get this cat seen! The eye looks blown to me- but the cat needs a vet even when our budget is so low.
Here it is inside of a huge dog carrier top flipped upside down- (thank you Pat if you are reading this for donating this to me). This is the third time I have used it to trap cats that won’t go into humane traps or drop traps! She is way in the back, but we have the heated pad under her and the heater going. I believe she is girl because if she is a boy she has been neutered. There are no jowls protruding. Her ear flaps are intact and I don’t think she is very old? I’ll know more after the vet visit which I hope and pray will be today.
This morning went to check on her and she was out of the hidey hole and on a shelf so with some gentle persuasion- I got her into a carrier! We are on our way to the vet.
I hope the eye can be helped.
Well, if the eye cannot be saved, at least the damage will be contained and any discomfort or pain she’d enduring will end. Her days are going to get better!
So glad it has been of use, very creative, glad it is working for those hard to catch kitters 🙂
