    We're On A New Mission

    We went to pickup a couple pies at a local restaraunt when Kevin spotted some kittens. We pulled into a deserted Circle K store which is right next to a Plant Nursery. I got out of the car to put some food down and all kinds of kittens went scattering in every direction. I did notice the Nursery is putting food and water out for them, so Kevin & I are going to approach them about us TNR'ing all the cats on their property. Unfortunately they were closed this evening at the time we were there.

    Hopefully they will not oppose us doing this! I will keep you posted, if interested!
    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

    Good luck! I'm very interested so please do keep us posted.

    I just spent an hour trying to lure a kitty to me who was in the Wagreens parking lot. I couldn't get him (he was BEAUTIFUL) so needless to say I'm really depressed. I could tell he was being eaten alive by fleas. Poor baby kept itching and itching and shaking his head. I would love to take him to the vet. I'm going to be setting a live trap there and hopefully I can get him. There's a busy street on every side of Walgreens

    I doubt they will object, since they are feeding them... they obviously care. good luck, and what a wonderful thing to do!

    The nurseries where I get my plants have resident cats that live in the greenhouses. Keep the rodent population under control.

    Perhaps if these nurseries don't have "house cats" you could talk them into it?

    There's even a nursery out here whose resident cat (Grey Kitty) is the "spokescat" for their TV commercials.
