It’s been quite the day. Had lunch on Queen Street and walked by this cat sitting in a filled-in windowsill. After I took this photo, we noticed another young cat playing in the street and soon found out that both were strays after asking around the neighbourhood.
Turns out they’re from a family of at least 7 strays living in a fenced-in junkyard. The man who lives in the junkyard claims one cat and the rest he doesn’t look after — they don’t even have fresh water. Can’t tell whether he’s a squatter; the place doesn’t look livable — just rubbish and rotting vegetation. There’s even a bird in a cage out back.
The man was pretty ornery, and after some phone calls to local animal shelters and the Humane Society, we returned to his junkpile a few hours later with gloves and food and lured two of the strays inside Hugh’s carrying kennel. It took a while since they were wild, but eventually we managed to get them to the Humane Society. We plan to return and capture the rest of them (hopefully), but we’ll feed them in the meantime.
