[Felvtalk] Chanel has crossed the Rainbow Bridge
I wish it were only us humans that were going to miss Chanel. She was a beautiful solid white little princess that came to my rescue from Animal Services because she was FELV+. She spent a few days as the only cat in her room before 5 tiny new black and white additions arrived. They were only 9 weeks and scared to be in a new place. Miss Chanel didn't hesitate to take over mommy duties immediately. She would let them crawl on her and chirp to them when they were getting in trouble. Those kittens loved her perhaps more than I did. When I arrived on Monday and found her she was still not alone. Her little friends were snuggled up to her as if to keep her warm. It tore my heart out to take her away. I miss her terribly but the fun loving kitten room just isn't the same. I'm hoping she's watching over them from wherever she is and when it's their turn, I know they will be together again!

I supplement my dry food with an occassional can of mackeral for people. They don't eat so much of the meat as they drink the broth, so I add hot water each time I serve up some and this stretches the can to cover several feedings. Mackeral is the only fish they really like. I also get turkey thighs (less bones to deal with) and boil them up. Again they don't go so much for the meat as the broth so one package lasts several feedings. I also use some of the meat for turkey noodle soup for me so this stretches it longe MaiMaiPG wrote: > Consider talking with Alley Cat Advocates or another TNR organization > for help with spaying/neutering.

Consider talking with Alley Cat Advocates or another TNR organization for help with spaying/neutering. Some vets will give multiple cat discounts. I supplement the cat food with very on sale whole chicken, ground beef etc. The people quality meat is cheaper per pound than cat food. Same with cheap tuna (my guys, including the inside cats, don't like the solid white). I've found buying good catfood at a farm store is sometimes cheaper than at the grocery or K-Mart/Wal-Mart type stores. Additionally, if you establish a relationship with the people at a feed store, you may be able to get samples or broken bags. Just ideas. Managing these guys can be difficultbut it is worth it.
