Over the past several weeks, RAPS staff and volunteers have been trapping cats and kittens in a barn in Richmond. These 'Urban Barn Cats' are suffering from an upper respiratory infections and ear mites. All require medical attention, but first we have to catch them. So far litters of kittens and around 15 adults cats have been taken and are being successfully treated for their illness. But this job won't be done until all 100 cats are in RAPS' care.This last Sunday, RAPS staff worked all day to trap 9 adults and one very sick kitten. Some kittens had to be fed by hand, but most are recovering on antibiotics.
Keep checking back to the RAPS Blog for updates on the Urban Barn Cats.This rescue is funded in part by a grant from the Vancouver Foundation, the Citizens Pet Population Control Society and countless numbers of generous donors. Thank you.
