We have been trying to TNR a large colony in our neighborhood for some time. We have taken in several kittens, and a couple of very friendly adult cats, paid for their medical attention and found them amazing forever homes, but we need to help control this colony!! TNR is the ONLY way to do that. We have a low cost spay/neuter program that we can work with BUT it is still $40-$50 a cat.
With 20+ cats, that can be upwards of $1000.00. We need the neighbors help to fund this effort. They are all very pretty & healthy cats but the colony needs to be controlled before things continue to get worse.
The $40-$50 pays for the spay/neuter and a rabies shot. It also pays for a little ear tip, which does not hurt the cat. It is a small tip of the left ear so we know who is fixed and who isn't.
Neutering a cat not only helps control the population but cats who are fixed will fight much less if at all, they will stop spraying which will reduce odors in the area and most of all, no more kittens! No more kittens, no more injuries, no more howling and no more smell!
It's a win win for bith cats & people!!
Hopefully the neighborhood will help us with this effort and make a donation to us so we can help!
Some pictures of the kittens that we rescued from this colony last week. Five lovely kittens. They are doing so great and will have wonderful homes soon.
We also rescued this adult cat from the community colony about three weeks ago, Mid April 2014. We named him Batman.
He is a super sweet cat, about 4 years old.
He had a severe Upper Resp. Infection, so bad he could barely breathe.
He could not eat anymore bc he couldn't smell of taste the food. He was weeks away from certain death.
Batman is now very healthy. He is doing great and we are looking for his forever home too. He is now neutered and has been medicated for his URI and is a healthy happy boy!
