Eastern Panhandle WV (MD, VA, PA) Chickenstock -July10th Gower's Feed

My schedule is fairly open for all Saturdays in July at this point. Just remember that I need homes for at least 10 kittens!

Time for a little story...gather 'round...I cannot for the life of me tell the difference between male and female kittens. We free feed our cats outside as they are in charge of pest control on our property. When a stray joins the clan, we catch it (or at least try to) and have it altered. There is this one yellow and white that is smarter than we are. Last year, Christopher caught her 4 babies. We hand fed them. Some of you may have seen them at the Frederick Show as they camped there with us. All were given homes sans one. Dillon. Chris fell for Dillon, so we kept him. Now with male kitties...I usually wait until they spray or show before making their appointment for the vet....You guessed it....Dillon is a girl. Know how I figured it out? Yep! After she was pregnant.

Now lets not forget it's feral momma who we cannot capture. She had 7 kittens in Dave's bass boat about 3 weeks ago I am guessing by the size of the kittens. They are now in my house. We left them with momma long enough to get the vital nutrients they need to survive then we stole them from her so they did not take on her feral ways.

Back to Dillon. He/she decided to have 3 kittens so far today. She found a safe spot inside my SHREDDER in the office. You know, the type that opens in the back. She nestled down on that shredded paper and gave birth.

Christopher is home sick today but decided to be kitten rescuer! I am one of the leading members of Heart Strings Animal Rescue/Rehoming group and I now have 10 kittens. What is wrong with this picture?

1 for Tonya's son as a b-day present------OOOOOOOOOHHHHHH NNNNOOOOOO!
I don't think so. I just got down to 3 after having 23. There is a guy w/a wht van that comes in the subdv. and throws cats out the sidedoor. then takes off, he has been taped on camera but no LP # on video and animal control told the board if you don't want the cats trap them and dump them in some other subdv. So I placed all but my 3 and everybody started trapping and taking to the pound. If we can get the tag on tape we can hit him with no trespassing. So we will pass on the kittens, beside son has allergies to them.
Best of luck placing them.

Peachick's b-day is the 17th of July so I think she should get one.

Peachick how is it going on the laced blue pullets? Also any luck on 1 more Leghorn pullet??? I need 2 more laced blue maran pullets and if no luck with leghorn pullet I'll take 1 more Blk. pullet. Then I'm done...

It is a serious question. I wouldn't want them to fly out of the horse fence and get clobbered on RT 9.
 
umm flying away isnt as much a problem as being able to hop 20 foot straight up... these suckers can run too!
An adult peacock would hop a horsefence without hesitating.

That said. They imprint on home pretty well, as long as they have a comfortable place to sleep, good food, and friends, they stay home.
