mixed gender kitten and her two feral sibs desperate for homes
When I brought the first cat in for spaying,
we (the vet and I) presumed it was female. She had a smaller head and no sign of male genitalia. When they opened her for the spaying they found the insides were male. Female on the outside and male on the inside! She had an identical-looking twin and I named the two of them Hermes and Aphrodite. However, Aphrodite turned out to be a regular female. On the form, under sex the vet wrote "mixed" on Hermes' certificate. Actually, three of the cats are in desperate need of a home. The rest are more or less visitors to the colony and are experienced neighborhood moochers. If I could place these three, Hermes, Aphrodite, and Leo (big alpha male), I'd be somewhat happy. They are helpless as . . well . . kittens. - Bob |

mixed gender kitten and her two feral sibs desperate for homes
Always a good idea to mention where you are located. I live in Syracuse, in New York State. It's a city of about a half million with loads of woods and farm land all around -- some developed, but mostly farm land. I was thinking that a dairy barn would be a good spot for my cats. Every dairy barn I've ever seen has a whole lot of cats. It might be a good life for them. I've been to the SPCA and all the rescue groups I could find around here and each one had the same story: they can't take in any animals and the county is overrun with strays and feral cats. I'd be willing to take them anywhere in New York State if someone would take them. The colony I've been tending has seven or eight cats hanging around, but actually only three of them aren't able to fend for themselves. These are three of the original kittens and they've been taken care of by humans since birth, so they wouldn't survive in the woods very long at all. The fourth kitten has found another home but still visits once in a while. Any advice or help you can give me would be most appreciated. Bob Ranger Syracuse, NY |

Bob Ranger Syracuse, NY My neighborhood (in NYC) is also overrun with cats. I'm feeding one of them but I really can't take in any more than the three I have. One of my neighbors has a deck that many of them live under, but she died recently and the house will be sold sooner or later. I'm afraid the new owner will kick out the cats. |
