So Hot Outside Today!

I got a little sunburnt today by the time I remembered to put some sunscreen on. I hope I remember earlier next time. = )

-

I went back to the bar for some more cat trapping. Well, the area next to the bar. It seems that the cats congregate behind a photo studio. Unfortunately, the woman that feeds them leaves out a ton of food, so they aren't as hungry as I would like them to be. (For trapping, anyway.)

-

I set up my drop trap and almost immediately caught a black and white (supposedly) female. She will be spayed and released tomorrow.

-

I waited for hours for another to walk underneath the trap, but no one was willing. I am thinking about going back tonight to try again. I need to be able to contact the woman feeding them, though, because I'm not going to be able to get these cats fixed if they're not hungry enough to enter a trap.

I met several nice people today, including the owners of the two buildings I was camped out between. We had gotten permisison to trap on the property of the one building, but I had never personally spoken to the owner. He saw me by the dumpsters, so I got up to talk to him, hoping he wasn't going to ask me to leave. (I didn't even know it was the owner) He was nice, though, so I explained what I was trying to do, and he thanked me.

-

The studio's owner came out to talk to me as well. He seemed very enthusiastic about the cats being sterilized - they have killed his frogs and turtles that they keep in the backyard for portraits.

That kitten in the photos is one of at least 4 at the bar/studio. But I have no where to take them! And they are not old enough for spay/neuter yet. I'm guessing this one is four/five weeks? (I'm bad at ages, though) A woman doing yard work at the studio caught the little one and handed him over to me, so I put him in a carrier (those are ice cubes, b/c of the heat). But I have no where to take him, no one I know that will foster, and I don't know if it is best for him to be with his siblings and mom for a little while longer. So I let him go. And that was so hard, but I just don't know what to do with the babies!

-

He was a little spitfire at first, but when I took him out to let him go, he was such a sweetie! He let me hold him without any problems. When I first set him down, I snatched him back up, because I just didn't know what to do. I still don't know what to do. I want the babies to have homes, but I can't take them in right now - and none of my friends have the money to do so either. Also, is it better to take them all at once? All the babies, so they'd at least have each other? That was another thing I was worried about...

-

And I don't know who the mom is, so I won't know if I trap her and take her away from her babies. They should be old enough to last one night, right? I know so little about kittens!

If any one has any suggestions, feel free to chime in!
