The cat and the love you give away always come back to you---Proverb quotes

It was almost two months later when my friend asked me to bring my trap over so she could hopefully catch “Mama Jackson”.  I took it over to her.

Two weeks later (8/6/13) she called.  She had not caught Mama Jackson, but had caught one of Jackson’s siblings.  It was a tiny girl, who looked just like Mama Jackson, a tortie.  I went over to pick her up and brought her home to get her settled.  She was a tiny, sweet little kitten. 

In just a couple of hours she called and said she had found a home for the kitten and her name would be “Cali”.

Cali

Mama Jackson

Later that day she called and said she had trapped “Mama Jackson” (8/6/13).  I went over to get her.  She didn't hiss or growl, but there was something about her that told us that she was feral.  We set up an appointment to have her spayed and vaccinated.

"Cali's" new mom was picking her up the next day.  My friend was hoping to trap the last kitten soon.

“Mama Jackson” was spayed and vaccinated (8/7/13).  Since we were releasing her, we asked that the right ear tip be clipped.  That way if she was trapped again or if someone saw her, they would know she had been spayed.  The vet asked us to keep her overnight before releasing.  If she hadn’t been so wild, we might have tried to find a home for her.

“Cali’s” owner came by and picked her up (8/8/13).  We took “Mama Jackson” over to where we had trapped her and released her.  Although she was feral, I felt a little sad letting her go.  When we opened the kennel, she jumped out and ran.  As we drove away, she was in the ivy in the yard next door.  We saw her ears sticking up in the ivy.  She was in familiar territory though.

The next day (8/9/13) my friend caught another kitten, the last one.....!  We hoped anyway.  It was a pretty little buff-colored tabby.  My friend's young daughter was calling it “Peaches”.  It was a boy.  He was very sweet.  Afraid and hissing, but not scratching or biting.  Although he looked bigger, we thought he was Jackson's sibling since he was seen with Mama Jackson.  He would be about two months old. 

Simba

My friend's son wanted “Peaches”.  He planned on picking him up in a couple of weeks.  He renamed “Peaches” to "Simba”, which was a good name for him.  He looked like a little “Lion King”.  We made an appointment to get Simba neutered and vaccinated (8/13/13).

Simba, sweet boy

My friend said there was another kitten yet to catch–a black one.....

and the saga continues.....
