Haha I think I've mentioned I'm not too horoscopy but I read them sometimes and I've attached one from today :)

I'm in the "throes of a move" again,,, having gained "important karmic lessons" in the almost three years here,,, if you know of available housing please let me know :)  🙏

Anyways, my biggest karmic heartache are the 10 ferals on property,,, the original two moms, seven offspring in three litters, and an old gimpy guy named Monte, Count of the local Cristo, who was here when I arrived 3yrs ago, video attached.

I have fixed all of them but Monte, I have wonderful photos from kitten to current for all as I've watched them grow,,

,,, and they've all been feed daily but rest assured they are all mousers,,, there hasn't been a mouse in the house for two years!  But a wet/dry meal to start or close their day has been provided & appreciated.

They are all friendly, they play well together, and they might soon all need a home - there is no one else here for days even weeks at a time.

I've tried to be a responsible caretaker with time, money and love,,, downtown Petrolia's cat population is challenging enough and I will do what I can until others responsibly step up to contribute for these 10 lovely felines...


Cheers,
Kollin with a K

As a sucker for one of the strays that Kollin cared for, I can attest that these cats are unusually sweet-hearted. 

Brutus showed up at our place months ago, and charmed us right away by swiftly killing 3 gophers in my garden. Yes he did. Then he charmed us with his standing-up-on-hind legs trick to get petted. I was resolute: I didn't want a cat, and anyway, Brutus had a good home there with Kollin. But he continued to stay put right here, patiently waiting for us to pet him. Then he got a nasty open face wound, I treated it, and in the process fell in love. He's a really good cat. Probably the other ones Kollin is trying to re-home are just as sweet!
