A few weeks ago, this cat showed up at our house. We realized she was living under the house and were pretty sure she was pregnant…

She seems to be enjoying indoor living. (And after a week of hellish litter box training, she’s much more enjoyable to have indoors!)

Well, I saw a post on a local community/discussion board Friday afternoon. Then Silas’s sister tagged me in said post, inquiring whether or not I wanted another pigeon. The post described an injured pigeon that was downtown on a staircase, bloody and unable to fly. It also mentioned that the local wildlife rehabilitation center didn’t accept pigeons (though they’d readily come euthanize if necessary…) and no vets would accept it. I recognized the stairs immediately in the photo attached to the post, and knew it was just around the corner from our house. So here we are, a second pigeon to add to the animal circus we are steadily growing… My hope is it’ll heal fully and I’ll be able to release it one day.
