Can't catch that Wabbit


Can you see the kitten? Neither can I, because it's not there.


But I assure you it was very close by! For those of you that don't know, I'm on the hunt to trap a little kitten (with a live trap - one that doesn't hurt them) that is surviving in the bog behind my apartment building. No, unfortunately I can't keep it, but I have been in contact with the Antigonish vet, SPCA and Animal Control and together we are going to secure some medical attention and home for this little Wabbit. I have affectionately named the kitten Wabbit (with some help from the official cat namer - Steph), as in wascally wabbit, because it has proved difficult to trap so far. But I have some help, I've been in touch with the man from animal control on the best methods of trapping kittens. He is a very sweet man who is compassionate about helping stray or abandoned animals, which completely baffled me as I assumed all "dogcatchers", as he is referred to by the vet office, were mean and hateful towards animals. He volunteers as a crossing guard, and is running to be re-elected as a schooolboard something.
I will keep EVERYONE posted via this blog on my progress with Wabbit, I am going to leave some more food out for it tonight to get it used to one location of eating. More to come!
