the little pig from the animal control facility is as sweet as can be. he is smallish, his toenails were very long/coiled round and round, wood chips/bedding were stuck to several of his toes with poo, and he was seriously impacted. this happens with poor diet, husbandry, & lack of mental and physical stimulation.

i'm not sure if anyone knows about older pigs and this condition, but i am posting a link. he will need help- being emptied once or twice daily, and neutering will not help a pig once the impaction begins.

not a lovely job, but someone has to do it for them!

Glad to report that I found two different foster places willing to take the kitten! So depending on who I hear back from when, she either goes to a foster group in brooklyn today, or one in manhattan on Sat.

She's gotten over her fear of humans - this morning she wanted her belly rubbed and to be picked up and cuddled so she should be totally adoptable. I was worried she might be feral, but luckily she's just young enough to still be socialized. She's very cute.

We trapped one more feral yesterday. That makes three this week! One came back yesterday and two come back tomorrow. The kitten I am taking to my vet today for his shots etc... After his check up today I will make an appointment for him to be neutered as well. His name is Zachary and he gets along well with my cat so I am adopting him.

Want to give a shout out to:
Brooklyn Animal Foster Network
http://brooklynanimalfosternetwork.org

They not only took in the kitten that I found. They are also supporting Brooklyn Pride with a table (Stray Pride!). AND they're having a benefit at Ginger's in July (dyke bar).

They even have Stray Pride T-shirts for sale on their site! I want one.
