Clint And Charles, Heavens, we are up to 12 cats now! Options

[Ken Albin]

About 10 weeks ago I got a call from a former coworker at school. Her neighbor had found 3 kittens living in a backhoe cab in their back yard. She only wanted to keep one cat and, the usual story, was going to dump the other two cats at a kill shelter. The shelter already told her they were full and if she brought them in they would be euthanized. She knew I rescued cats and I suppose some sense of guilt drove her to ask me if I could help try to find them a home before she dumped them. I ran up with a carrier and took them home with me. Of course they instantly bonded with me and we kept them. They are two bundles of energy who love to chase each other and play. Clint and Charles get along great with the others here and give the older cats lots of exercise! Charles is on the left in the photo.

I have my hands full with two so cannot imagine 12 Ken.

The one we added, Tango, looks much like your two new additions. He is a huge thing, 22 pounds after losing about 8 pounds, and likes to throw that weight around. I kept him away from the dog & cat for about 3 weeks and every time they did happen to be in the same area he would hiss like mad. Still does when the mood strikes him!

Cannot even imagine trying to deal with 12 if any are like this guy. He is a very nice cat but I think he needs a home by himself. Time will tell I guess & we will add 2 more and a dog in late spring....... guess I'll be asking your advise when that happens.

You are a Saint to help all these poor cats & kittens. I admire anyone who is willing to help save them from whatever fate may have dealt them. It's a wonderful thing you are doing.
