These twelve kittens were from the Spring 2000 litters of two Milan cats. In Fall 2000, they had another ten kittens and then were TNR'd (trapped, neutered and returned). The caregiver successfully placed the kittens and is looking forward to Spring 2001 when that will no longer be necessary. From the caregiver: "The three stray cats are doing great after their surgeries. The Ypsilanti Animal Clinic did a wonderful job! I wanted to personally thank you for your asssistance with the funding of these procedures. We would have never been able to take care of that many surgeries and everything else that they need. (We go through about 20 lbs. of cat food each week.)"

From their caregiver:
"These two kittens were born down the street from Eastern Michigan University where their mom still lives. She's been spayed so she won't have any more litters and these two kitties were socialized, spayed and neutered and then adopted to the mother of one of our neighbors who lives up in northern Michigan. Thanks for your help -- mom cat is doing well and her two kittens are happy in their new home."

From their caregiver:
"I am sending pictures of our cats -- this was before their surgery -- you can see what "charmers" they are. Their "cat house" is on the porch -- pretty close to the plans you had enclosed. It's a nice protected location. My husband insulated it and put paneling over the insulation, shingled the roof and put a light bulb in so they are nice and warm. It has our porch carpet on the bottom and blankets, etc. Thanks for all your suggestions -- these cats have a good home and lots of attention."

From their caregiver:
"Enclosed is a photo of one of our colony cats, Sushi, a twin of our good friend, Squeakers, who passed away this last February. He loves my herb garder (seen in photo) and seems to really enjoy his neutered life. He really is a happy ending to a sad story. He now wears a breakaway collar with a heart-shaped reflector tag an sleeps in our barn on a sheep skin rug. Life is good! Thank you so much for your kind support."
