Meet Seven and Eight
Meet Eight - the kitty in the above picture. That photo was
taken by Chris in the driveway of the shelter.
Eight is one of several strays that have been abandoned
outside the shelter.
We have often been asked how did he and Seven get named
numbers. It is really a simple story :) Every time we have a
stray show up we immediately trap them and fix them. When
we got to the vet I asked what was the next number for strays.
They said 7, I said ok, this is one Seven, this one is Eight.
We fix, get rabies shots, tested and brought them home to
release. (we never know if they belong to someone and just
appear or not) I have no problems with feeding strays, I
do have problems with them making babies, that is why we fix
them all. No homeless babies on my watch! Usually the strays
take off like bats on fire never to be seen again. These two
stayed. We do not put them in a room because they insist on
going outside and spray like crazy when we don’t let them out.
The shelter sits well over 1000 feet from the road and on 24
acres. They always stick close around the building. They spend
their days chasing lizards, catching mice and spraying cars.
Eight is the one who you typically will meet first in the parking
lot. He likes to sit on the top of cars and spray tires.
We are pretty sure Seven and Eight came from the same home.
They showed up at the same time, are both FIV+ and both spray.
When it is cold they come inside to sleep. When it is hot outside
they come in to enjoy the air conditioner. When they decide
they want back out they either go out through the quarantine door
to the outside yard and go over the fence. Or they just wait for
someone to open the front door. Works the same way for coming
in.
Thank you to our wonderful supporters who make it possible for them to finally have a forever home at Blind Cat Rescue!
Enjoying a pretty day
Seven likes to jump out of the linens to surprise us.
I often find Seven sleep in the horses hay building curled
up in the hay. I don’t know why it always startles me.
