Feral Cat Rescuer
Hi All
I've been pretty busy these days, but wanted to share with you some of the success we've had with trapping here where I work. I've been maintaining the feeding stations and so far have trapped 5 cats. I'm not sure of the number of cats or all their locations, so this is going to be a slow process. Here's what we've gotten so far:
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

It never ceases to amaze me how many beautiful cats are out there homeless. You are doing a great job, keep up the good work.
Thank you Wolfie!

Molly's mom, too!
Oh, all those babies look so scared. I know that they will be so much better off under your care. Don't you just wish you could explain that to them, though?

Those poor creatures - the terror in their eyes. Too bad they don't know this is the beginning of a better life.

Yes I do! They've all been spayed/neutered - 2 females, 3 male and have been released back here at work (in their familiar environment). Now they won't reproduce, will be fed/watered by me, and should be able to live a better life!!Originally posted by Kona & Oreo's mom

Poor babies! At least that part of the kitten pipeline is dried up. Good job!

You never cease to amaze me with all the hard work and determination that you have. Those babies do look so scared but I really think all the cats out there that are scared but are looked after by someone as caring as you...deep down in their hearts and in the back of their minds they know that you are a kind, good hearted person and they probally feel a little safer than they did before.
Keep up the good work.

Consider adopting a special needs pet, they deserve a chance too!

Congratulations K&L! I admire you for all the work you do in saving these babies. Are any of them tame enough to be adopted out or are they all feral?
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

They were all feral! The black & white female was the least feral, but still not tame enough for a no-kill shelter to take her in. If any had been tame, or young enough to socialize, we would've turned the tame ones over to AAWL www.aawl.org and fostered the young ones until adoptable.Originally posted by slick

CJ's & Robin's too!
What a great job you do! I love the little blackie with the tufty ears and the blue eyed one.
So, between the park cats and now the cats at work and your own at home, just how many cats do you feed everyday?

I admire you for all that work. I know that we cannot solve the problem by taking all the homeless in but what you do really makes a difference.
And I hope those poor scary cats know it.

This one is very pretty! I love the coloring and the blue eyes.

I've been wondering where you have been??
I know you have been really busy getting this TNR off the ground at work, and I'm happy to see that it is working well.
I just love those kitties, when are you trapping again??
