Huzzah! Tiny lives in my garage
I felt anxious from the moment I woke up, knowing I was going to try and trap Blue Baby and Frankie today. I’m still a relative beginner at this and have had a few unqualified disasters since starting this work. … Continue reading

Smokey is sighted… but where are the kittens?
It’s been three weeks since I started feeding Smokey, and the old girl has mostly eluded my intrusive care. I’ve seen her only a handful of times, and when I do, it’s cause for elation. She comes along the sidewalk, … Continue reading

Sitting in car, watching for coon
I spent a good part of my weekend watching for a blind raccoon named Smokey. I’d seen this raccoon before – she has ventured into the area where I’ve been feeding my ferals these last two years, since I was … Continue reading
