An alley cat life is nothing of a fairy tale. I've chosen to take a playful tone, and to allude to fairy tales calling the cats "fairies with tails" and the blog "Fairy Tails", to tell you about the "happily ever after" stories and also the sad stories, then leave the sadness in a far away land and in a forgotten time...

Dear diary - the coronavirus is slowing us down

Read the Introduction, to get the general picture of my interaction with the alley cats, and the Summary, to put the stories on a timeline.

Strange times are happening... Around the world there is a very contagious flu that spreads aggressively and kills aggressively. My area is just starting to have the first cases. In an effort to stop the spreading, the school closed and gatherings of more then 500 people were made illegal. That means that all entertainments venues, music, dance, sport competitions, closed.

On Thursday my husband stopped the Org T. to  borrow trap. he saw a very pregnant cat, friendly too.  Hagrid, new name Tuber, former name Phoenix, the one the I last took for adoption there, was on the floor. Not even in a cage, but walking around proudly! He is gonna get adopted so quickly, I just know it! My husband also postponed the appointment for admission for adoption for Happy and Sunny because both me and him were busy on the time of the appointment. Also Sunny hasn't made any progress.

Saturday, my husband stopped by Org T to visit Hagrid and to make another appointment. First the bestest news! Hagrid got adopted!  Now, the very bad news. They said they'll just care for the cats they have, they won't work with the public anymore, so no appointments for adoption, and no spaying/ neutering also. They are still welcoming people that want to adopt, but by appointment only. At least, now, Sunny will have the time to come around.

I have 3 appointments this week, and 3 appointments next week for spay/ neuter with Org A. I hope at least they will continue doing this, because the cats outside are starting to get pregnant...
