Happy Ending for Feral Kitten

The other day, I posted about a feral kitten I found in our woods. She was a cute little thing. The poor kitty was outside in a torrential rainstorm the night before I found it cowering in a pile of leaves near a stone wall. We took her into our shed, made a box/home for her, fed her some chicken and kept her safe while we tried to find a home for her.


She IS cute!

The kids wanted to keep her, but another family member would have made that fairly problematic.


Bailey would have ripped the thing to shreds if she got a hold of it- many a squirrel has gone to the great beyond as a result of our favorite dog's rambunctiousness. 

The good people at the Metrowest Humane Society took the kitty in. Here's a nice note they sent along in an email after they took her:

I have named her "Hot Dog Annie" for the name of a fun hot dog place my family used to go to in Leicester MA years ago. I think it is still there but I can never find my way back there when I want a dog. She is sleeping peacefully now with a stuffed animal and a full tummy.

It just goes to show you, even cat people like a good dog now and then!

Feral Kitten

I heard the meowing of a cat near my car this morning. We live at the edge of the woods and I have seen feral cats on and around our property for years. This little fellow gal was still just a kitten.

I called the Metrowest Humane Society. They are "an advocate for animal welfare, MWHS focuses on the well-being of cats in the Metrowest Boston area, including finding loving homes or providing life-long care while educating the community and reducing the feral/stray cat population."

They adopt unwanted kittens. They also trap feral cats, neuter them, and re-release them. This allows them to live out their lives as wild cats without contributing to the unwanted/feral cat population. They're coming to pick up our little friend tomorrow(to the chagrin of Little Miss and the gang). If you want to adopt a kitten, you should give them a call.

If you are aware of feral cats in the Metrowest Boston area, visit the Metrowest Humane Society website or give them a call at 508-875-3776.
