I went to pick up the two cats and take them to the Humane Society, but the Mackeral Tabby, Loki was having no part of this plan. Capturing him inside of my carrier was like snaring a tiger and I told the owners that the Humane Society would not even consider taking a cat that was this scared of being in a carrier. And Loki was terrified. I did take in the black kitty and she was mild and wonderful all the way there and during her test. She will be on the floor in a few days. The owner had assured me that she was up to date with shots, but she was not able to provide proof, so they have quarantined Sissy until she is up-to-date on shots.

Thank you to those of you who made this surrender possible and gave at least one kitty a chance at a better life. I wish Loki had been as mild mannered as I was told he always presents himself, but sometimes the truth has to be found out in difficult ways. I wish I could take him especially after seeing his truth. I don’t think anyone will adopt him for anything less than a barn cat. But I can’t- my house is topsy-turvy as it is with workers crawling everywhere. I ended up just taking the door off my main cat enclosures, shutting off the tunnels to the house and hoping the displaced kitties so used to being under the house, will find themselves new sleeping quarters inside the opened enclosure.

Thank you again to those who gave-
