    Our Park We Feed At

    Here's a little info and history on the park where we feed. The first link has a little video to watch.

    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

    Wow! What a beautiful park! This is not what I had imagined at all. I'm surprised they let a feral population of cats exist in such a beautiful park. I'm sure around here the park people would be way too snooty to bother with such a "problem."

    Yes! They've been wonderful about working with us on this. Even to the point of giving us keys in case the gates were locked and we haven't fed! The City also gave us an award. I feel good that they recognize this problem and help with it!

    How beautiful!!!

    When you don't have a home and a loving human, at least you should have a park like this!!!
    The history of the park is very interesting!!!
    Thanks for sharing...

    The environment makes a HUGE difference. Would you believe we have ferals there approximately 8 years old? A ferals life span is usually 1 to 2 years! The environment, along with regular feeding, helps these cats live a fairly healthy/happy life.

    Wow the park is really beautiful. I am so glad that the people have a good, kind heart to allow you to take care of all the feral cats that stay in the park.
    I have so much admiration for you guys for all the care and love that you have for these gorgeous cats.
