This morning, one of the dumpster kitties turns out to be in full heat. She is only four months old! I called the vet and after telling them the signs of what she was doing, they have scheduled a spay for her and Piper on the 7th. The boys get done on the 13th. I tried putting her in the bedroom, but she is having none of it. She wants those boys and they are climbing the screen to get to her. Finally her yowls drove me to distraction and I just let her out. I don’t think the boys can service her, and we will break up any fights that occur until she goes in for the spay.
I have to trust that God knows what He is doing. Not sure how I am going to swing 6 neuters and 2 spays just that I have to. My article is out in Quilter’s Home Magazine and I should be getting my check any day now. Hopefully it will arrive in time so I can pick up the rest of the spay vouchers at the shelter and get them in at a low cost deal. The vouchers are twenty dollars this year. My house is so full of kittens, I have to think I must be nuts.
not nuts! totally loving and golden-hearted! 🙂

Boy I can empathize with you there. I have a June kitty to spay and 6 barely weanlings in an x-pen in my family room that will be ready for shots in a week; but at least they are in out of the snow. Congratulations on your article in Quilter’s Home; it’s my favorite magazine. I have been caretaker to a feral colony in a very rural town with no respect for cats either, so you have all of my sympathy!
