Thanks Bonnie....I bought a bunch of cans of Super Supper and I've
left it in my car. On the way out today I am going to check out the
back of MRO2, and maybe leave a little food out. I'll come back
tomorrow during the day to see what happened. The hard thing will
be to keep other animals away from the food (I.e. skunks and raccoons
and such), but since I can't determine where she will ever be next,
I want to just leave a bowl near where I last saw her. If it is her
territory, she probably patrols it regularly.

| If I remember correctly...there are other notes in here about the
stray cats at the MRO complex...I think some of those notes go
back years. I believe there were a few other noters that were
feeding it and also built it a shelter. Does anyone remember
these notes????

Odd, because the little hut I saw her go into looked just like a rustic
doghouse....up in back of MRO2. But she is the only one I've seen in
the six months I've been working in this area, so I don't know if there
are others.
That would be interesting to find out. It's just getting so cold, and
my heart goes out to her. I'm going to start the feeding today.

| 5046.6 | Cats in the stairwell | RDVAX::BEAUDET | | Fri Nov 08 1991 15:54 | 6 |
| A couple of years ago there were kittens and their mother who
apparently were living in the cement enclosed stairwell to the right of
MRO2. I went down the stairs once and at the bottom there was lots of
leaves kind of hollowed out into a nice protected area. I was never
able to get up close to them and then I think the mother moved them to
a quieter place.

| 5046.7 | Stray in MRO | FSOA::PHOUDE | | Tue Nov 12 1991 12:47 | 15 |
| I also have seen (what I believe is a stray) a stray by MRO3. It was a
beautiful orange cat (Morris) looked very healthy and well fed. There
are also a few homes across from the main entrance to MRO1. It is
possible that this is where they live. Someone else mentioned that
there were others as well. To play it safe though the food is a great
idea. Please let me know if there is a feeding schedule and if for
some reason whomever is feeding him can't I will be more than happy to
help out. I will provide some food as well.
I know you mentioned the cat wasn't wearing a collar but did he look
real mangy and thin?
Please let me know how I can help. I am in MR1 - 297-6529.

| Be aware that with a winter coat, a cat can *appear* to
be well fed, when underneath all that fur is a starving,
bone thin cat!!!!
Last year at this time, I had one of these show up at
my house....she is now WELL FED and also has one heck
of a winter coat!

Hi everyone,
I put the base note in here about the MRO strays and now I have found
that, in fact, they DO have a wonderful foster mom who takes GREAT care
of them. They are neutered, they are fed daily (even on weekends) and
they are happy. They have shelter as well, so this is a big plus. I
am sorry if I alarmed anyone, and I felt it my duty to let everyone
know that though these cats are feral, they do have someone who loves
and cares for them very much. They are fiercely protected ... :-)
The woman works for DEC and has thanked everyone for their concern.
Dry food donations are gladly accepted however. Call or write me and I
will forward your name and number on to their foster mom. I didn't
want to print that or reveal that here, as I did not ask them and don't
want to offend or overstep my bounds.
I'm just happy that these cats are happy and that they are healthy
(under a vets care) and thriving.

| Nancy,
Thanks for entering that note about the Foster Mom! It makes me feel
lots better knowing they are really being taken care of. Vet care and
everything! What a wonderful lady!
I'll be in touch about the dry food donation off line. ;-)
