I'm a dog person. Very allergic to cats though. I've only seen 1 cat in my neighborhood....ever. Well Saturday we get ready to leave and hear meowing under the truck. Almost ran over a female black and white adult and her 3-4 week old solid white kitten.
I'm allergic, but I can handle somewhat as long as I wash clothes and hands after handling. The wife played with them though for a minute and we left. Got home that night and they were still at our door. The kitten was full of fleas. I treat my yard quarterly and my dog is on monthly flea and tick meds. Not happy about the fleas so we take off to Walmart at midnight for flea shampoo and flea collar for momma cat. Momma cat got a flea collar and the little one has been bathed twice and we picked every single flea off of her. And cat food to feed them.
As you can imagine, they haven't left our front porch. The wife is out of town for a week and I'm stuck with them. I want to help but it's going to be very marginal due to my allergy. Every time I walk outside the kitten stumbles up to me and the mamma cat brushes against me....ugh!
It's Texas, so now (yep, you guessed it) it's raining! Cats are meowing on the front porch and every time I open the door they both make a beeline to try to get inside. I feel bad for them, but I just can't deal with this. Why did they pick my house? Never seen them before. I put signs out and knocked on a few doors....nothing.
Any suggestions? Or takers? I'll deliver up to 1 hour from greater Houston area and will pay $100 to anyone that will take them (long-term) and give them a decent home. Even if they are just outside cats. Pics to follow
