Lake Wylie kitties are doing well {RATE US!}

Before my update, don't forget that to the right is an auction link that helps different fosters at different times. It depends on the urgency. Also to the right you will find a donate button and all money raised goes directly for the fosters that I have (you will see their pics as soon as I update those in need of a home). There is also a Wal-Mart link that will take you directly to my 'wish list'. This is a list of items I need for all the babies I care for.
I could not wait for yesterday to get here. All 3 kitties from the lake and my baby Thomas went to be either spayed or neutered. The lake babies went to the s/n clinic while Thomas went to my normal vet since he has CH.
It was confirmed that Wylie's left foot has been cut off and not a birth defect. So whatever it was that cut it off, did a nice, clean job. His leg has completely healed. No bone shavings, no infection.
Also, they tested negative on the combo test.
Even though Brim didn't get spayed, they must have really hooked her up. I mean, they told me they would feed her and make her comfortable.
Let me tell you, she seemed like a different cat when I got her home. She was more friendly towards me but she did hiss at Tuna. So that part of her hasn't changed. Though I think she hisses at Tuna because Brim is in heat. But as long as Tuna just snuggles up, Brim is fine. The moment Tuna starts to move around, Brim hisses at her.
Watching them, you can not split them up. It's amazing how they act when just one is away. So much different.
So I have another month with these 3. Once Brim is spayed on the 1st, they all need to leave by the 7th of April.

So I am asking, pleading, if anyone out there can continue to foster them or can give them a furever home, please contact me. I hate the thought of taking them back to the lake. It's hard to say how much they eat during the summer. I know people toss them fish once in awhile. But they were starving this winter. And to top it off, Wylie gets his foot cut off.
They really need a break. If no one steps forward, I will have to take them back to the lake. I do not want to do this! But I will have no choice. So please, share this blog. I believe patience, Brim & Tuna and a lot of love, will break this young man out of his shell.
Also, I will be adding an adoption post soon. Rescues, fostering or adopting is always welcomed.

Got 'em all

Finally! We caught the last cat from Lake Wylie. It is not a happy camper. My shower curtain is no longer hanging. I haven't been able to get too close to "Wylie" yet. I did see it's foot while in the cage. Looks like it is fully healed from whatever took it off. I hope to get a better look at it within a week. And this cat is big. Really big! And very heavy.
I also need to make sure what the sex is. I'm pretty sure it's a boy. I've been able to pet him, only on the head, and he has some fat jaws. I'm hoping being around Brim and Tuna will calm him down. They don't seem to have a problem with him being in there. I got some pictures of all of them together.
When I went in early this afternoon, they were all cuddled together and it was so sweet looking. I went for the camera but when I got back, Tuna had moved to the food bowl and Brim was eating the mackeral.
Wylie has such a mean scowl on his face. He's scary just to look at.

Let's get back to the names. Tuna does not come to Tuna. Wylie probably won't come to Wylie. So I have decided to name them all Brim since that is the name they are used to and they all come to it. So Brim is Brim. Tuna is Brim 2 and Wylie will be Brim 3. But on the paperwork, Tuna and Wylie will be in parentheses.

As long as Wylie doesn't get sick or show signs of illness, he will go with Brim & Tuna on March 4th to the spay/neuter clinic.

I was able to get some good pics before finishing this post. I was also able to pet him on the head and chin for quite some time.
I would like you to share this post/story. I would like for this little family to stay together. It's obvious as you can see in the pictures, they love each other.

Last night:



Today:









I want to thank Anne for all her help with Wylie. She fed him every day until we could catch him. Not even bad weather stopped her from checking on him and feeding him. Thank you!
