A Day in the Life of an Animal Rescuer
By Kathy Deptola
Last year, a friend of mine tried several
times, but failed, to trap an elusive and
beautiful tortoiseshell, stray cat in the
Chardon area. Winter came and went and
she never saw this cat until a few weeks ago.
One morning, the stray cat (Tesse) appeared
with four adorable kittens following behind,
two orange and two black.
I went to check out the situation and
found Tesse with only three of her kittens.
The remains of the fourth kitten were
crushed in the road, and I knew I had to act
quickly.
I set out traps expecting to catch the
kittens first since Tesse proved too smart to
fall for our traps in the past. Surprisingly, I
caught Tesse first. For two days and nights,
I tried to catch the kittens but never saw
hide nor hair of them. It is always quite
distressing when you trap the Mom cat first
leaving the baby kittens out there to fend
for themselves.
I brought Tesse home and kept her in a
crate in my garage. Her behavior indicated
she was mostly a feral cat. She would hiss,
spit and swipe at me through the bars of the
cage. I talked to her and said I understood
why she was angry with me and promised
her that everything would be okay.
Then, I got an idea. I loaded her into
my car and drove to Chardon where the
kittens had been. I sat on the grass talking
to Tesse. Every time I would say her name
she would “meow” and carry on. After about
10 minutes, I saw movement out of the
corner of my eye. There peeking out from
the woods were two, little, orange, kitten
faces and peeking out from around some
trees was Tesse’s little, black kitten.
I immediately set out three traps and
walked about 30 feet away. The kittens
quickly surrounded Tesse’s cage. It was
heart wrenching to watch Tesse struggle so
with no avail to try to get out of her cage to
her kittens.
The two, orange, kittens went into
one of the traps together and were caught.
The black kitten went into the other trap
but was too tiny to trip it to close the door
behind it, so I snuck up while it was eating,
and closed the trap door myself. Tesse and
her babies are now all resting comfortably
together in a large crate in my garage.
The kittens are about 5 weeks old,
terrified, but not mean. Tesse is now
allowing me to pet her without me having
to wear a leather welding glove. They will
be given time to adjust and receive any
medical care needed. In time, Mom and
her kittens will all need a forever home, so
please contact me if you are interested in
adopting.
I appeal to everyone to please spay
and neuter your pets. The overwhelming
number of dogs and cats that have to be
put to sleep every year is heart-breaking.
There are programs to assist with low cost
spaying and neutering. Please check with
your local shelters and/or humane societies.
The little black kitten killed in the road
didn’t have to suffer and die this way. No
animal should have to be homeless and in
search of food, water and shelter. “Saving
one animal won’t change the world, but
the world will surely change for that one
animal.” Visit www.kdanimalrescue.org,
