Buffy who passed away a couple months ago from a snake bite :( c post of her climbing olive trees 7 months ago in c/cat@lemmy.world

I have 13 other cats, and live on an island in Greece with a stray cat problem..

The cats are indoor outdoor, but it’s just not feasible to keep that many cats just indoor especially while also foster small kittens that need quarantine periods.

The best I can do is trap and release in my area and fostering kittens to be adopted to other countries 😭

    Buffy who passed away a couple months ago from a snake bite :( c post of her climbing olive trees 7 months ago (lemmy.zip)
     

    I’ve been a little MIA just because losing the kittens with parvo was really sad and then ended up losing Buffy as well a couple months ago I do have seven kittens. I’m currently fostering two which are going to Austria two which are going to Switzerland and one which is going to Germany. I’ll post some pictures in a bit 🥹

    So after the battle with parvo losing her siblings, I was going to keep Bonnie. Then my friend who also helps with fostering and rehoming reached out to me because somebody who previously adopted from her asked if she had any kittens for adoption right now… and I thought about it and I have 17 cats all of them had a sibling so when they integrated together they at least had one friend. I don’t know if that makes sense anyways I feel like it’s a good idea for her to live in Switzerland in a loving apartment so yeah she’s going to be enjoying her new life as a Swiss cat she leaves February 15 🥹 it’s bitter sweet.

    Because the branches get too tall and they start to break and there’s a road beside that one so it was going into the road and if it fell with a storm then it could’ve crushed a car or my fence they are surprisingly resilient and grow back real quick so when you cut them like that, they get like a nice almost like bushel appearance. I don’t know how to describe it but we don’t collect olives from the trees that are on the property of the house either so we just keep them short

    So I initially sent the four kittens to the vet on December 19 so they were there for 22 days obviously three passed away while they were there battling parvo.. I thought it was gonna pay an arm and a leg, but the vet staff pulled me aside and told me that they would be covering the costs of care for them during that time 😭😭 and honestly it’s so nice because all the rescuing and fostering I do comes out of my pocket like I don’t have any donation set up nothing so it was really nice of them.

    Anyways, Bonnie is doing really well. She has an appetite she’s playing with her toys in a cage while on quarantine until she can get her vaccinations and be introduced to the rest of my cats
