SPAY DAY
 |

|
|
Getting trapping supplies ready took a fair amount of time. After I finished trapping at any particular spot I had to leave food and water at each station so the rest of the ferals I didn't trap could eat. |
We had 6 cat traps of varying sizes ready to set. We also needed large dog kennels for the feral recovery stage after surgery and massive numbers of towels and blankets, both for trapping and recovery. |

The back of my truck was fully loaded as I took off to trap at 8am ! The dog recovery kennels were all taken to the vet clinic the day before. |
I caught the orange cat by placing one of the smaller traps inside the feeding station. Gave him the name "Tracker" as he roams all around. | |
 |
 |
|
| He was quite hissy and banging the cage when I first caught him. I took time lifting the blanket for a good photo for future ID. | It was so hot on Canada Day that I had to take the first 3 trapped cats home and stash them in our garden shed while I trapped more. | |

|
| Thank you to Tony for carrying them all into the cool, garden shed and then back out again to the truck when I was ready to go to the clinic. | Meanwhile, at the clinic, preparations were underway to receive all these cats. Taylor lined each large dog recovery kennel with blankets and towels. | |

As I arrived at the clinic, Jen or Taylor helped transport the cages inside |
We got our exercise ! |

| Taylor took photos of each cat for ID markings as many of the cats at one location look very similar. | It's very difficult to get good shots when the cats are hissing at you and banging the cage. | |

Jen and I looked for a tattoo to see if the cat was already done |
