This is my second post today (the first was during my lunch break for work), but this needs to be shared.
Several times friends have offered to help with the Furrals. I declined because this shouldn't be anyone's responsibility (had the original owner been a better pet person), but eventually one of them said to me that they wanted to help, that the stories of the Furrals was bringing happiness into the pandemic isolation. When I was asked again this week, I decided to put together an Amazon Wishlist with some additional insulated houses, food and cat catching gloves. Within mere days the list was totally fulfilled and the first items showed up today. I could cry over the kindness and generosity (not only of these folks, but eternally also for Dr. Hillary). I will have 3 months of food coming and the gloves (and I know others have ordered additional cat houses as well)!
About the gloves, I have welding gloves that I had to use to crate Nimar for trips to the vet (he was NOT a fan). They since have moved to their new purpose of allowing me to load items into a hot kiln, though I did use them when handling the ferals this spring/summer. Good thing too, as one of those sweet looking baby tabbies this summer bit my finger when I was grabbing her little stripey self!
When doing the kitty round-up this fall I learned that Dr. Hillary has a set of some kind of crazy cobra catching gloves or something. They come up to the armpits and look like they have banded armor applied to the surface. They are impressive! While I don't need quite that much protection (as I am only handling ferals that I know I can pick up or tiny baby kittens), I love the idea of having heavy gloves that cover the entire length of my arm like some kind of wildlife opera gloves. I added a lined set to my wishlist and a long-time friend (and kitty fan) Annie, sent them to me. I think that these will help make wrestling Spatz easier next month!
While I was marveling at the gloves (which I picked up from the post office box today), Siada starts growling and running to the front door. Outside is the Amazon driver (he is new and didn't know to go to the back) who is in the process of lugging heavy packages to the front porch (and scaring the Furrals in the process).
So much food! Myself and the Furrals want to thank Amy and Kathy (and someone else, I think, as one box of 3 packages of the Friskies did not have a note with it - ETA mystery solved, the nommy gravy cases were sent by Katherine). I know other things are coming as well and I am, as I said earlier, am just overwhelmed by all of this. I know there are other things coming soon as well, and food from my mom and Jen. There are frolicking Furrals right now! I am very touched by this outpouring of kindness for these felines and will definitely be posting more about the generous gifts in the future!

Does Dr Hillary have a wish list so we can support her furral kindness?
