Had to trap a kittie today. [View all]

I have had three semi-ferals that depend on me for food and hugs for about three years. A few days ago, an itty-bitty showed up as part of the colony. I knew he would need to be vetted, shots and all that, so I borrowed a kitty trap from my neighbor (who runs a cat rescue) and set it up last night. When I checked on it a about 2 am, sure enough, he was in there. I really hated to do that, but understand it is necessary for his greater well being if he is to return to my group of cats. I texted her and she said she'd be by first thing to take him to the vet. The funny thing is, he is just laying in there chilling out, no whining or anything. Even though I had a light blanket over the trap, I could still see his feet and belly.

I'll report back later today and let y'all know what the vet said.
