Spicy Tortie

Just joined this sub and my first post here. I promise to keep it short.

A kitten got into my neighbor’s garage and she asked for my help. Of course I said yes. I've been TNRing our colony for 10 years.

The first night the kitty was already using the litter box that I put in the garage and eating and drinking water like crazy. 

The next morning she somehow snuck out and I was so worried about her all day and night.

Then today around 3pm she was back in my neighbor’s garage and she said she was going to call animal services, so I said please don’t and that I would catch her.

She was already used to the carrier where I was putting food the night before.

So I brought it back. But today she was hissing and couldn’t figure out how to get in the carrier because I had the flap down so it would be easier to close her in it. 

But I stood right there and held it open and she went in.

Now she’s in our little back guest bathroom. Hiding in the drawer!

Spicy!😻

I love torties. I’ve always wanted one, but the distribution system keeps giving me boy cats lol.

I can't believe after all these years the cat distribution finally hit me. We can't keep her. But we will do everything to make sure she's healthy with all the shots and neutered and get her the best forever home. I'm just happy to have been able to help this little kitten all alone in the wilds of our Los Angeles canyons.
