Winelands SPCA Spay Day 16th February 2010 and the tale of Toast and Marmalade!

Toast and Marmalade (toast is the darker one!!)

 
The evening of 15th February saw our holding kennels full, as cats and dogs that had been collected for their operations the next day, were bedded down for the night.  Very early on 16th our veterinary nurse left her sheep farm for the two hour journey to join staff, volunteers and our caring vet in a busy day.  All went smoothly and by mid-afternoon 35 operations had been successfully completed.  A few patients were then fetched by their owners, but most stayed the night in our clinic, to be retuned home the next day.

 

I think I just had an operation, but I am really sleepy.....	Soooo-I shall shut my eyes and go back to dreamland...zzzzz

Two patients that were fetched for home were “Toast” and “Marmalade”, two ginger feral kitties who now live a luxurious life on an alpaca farm.  Their dad put them in a box and drove off with them, wondering why there was a good deal of growling in the box – maybe the after effects of the anaesthetic, he thought.  However when the box was opened at home, out popped “Marmalade” and out nearly popped  “Not Toast”!  At about the same time, during a routine cage check, we realised that “Toast” was still with us and another ginger cat was missing.  Frantic phone calls resulted, and a swop was made half way between alpaca farm and clinic.  The correct gingers then went to their correct homes and ”Toast” and Marmalade” can now live together “happily ever after”.

I don't like the look of this operation business - could I make a run for it	I came for my op, and now I am comfy in my litter tray, which was once an ice cream box!
