Blaze's Story
Blaze
What can I say? It took us 3 years to get Blaze (this was before we were educated on how to trap ferals). Blaze is Bailey’s brother and has a total different personality. Both were our very first litter of ferals and we were pretty green. We managed to capture them both around 6 months of age, have them neutered, then released them back outside. After that, it was impossible to get Blaze…well…until one evening when he came for his feeding by the front door! I told Kevin to hide behind the door as I snuck out the back door. I walked up behind Blaze, grabbed him, and yelled for Kevin to open up! I threw him inside, and I don’t know who was more shaken up, me or Blaze, I do know I was the most injured! He’s still the most feral cat we own, but we are able to pet him on occasion.
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
