🐾Surveying a new area needing TNR help Sunday evening, these two adorable kittens were noticed on a neighbour’s front porch.  The plan yesterday early evening was to catch an elusive adult male cat known as “crooked tail” and hopefully a few others needing TNR.  One of crooked tail’s caregivers had posted a video recently of him dominating a few fixed colony cats in this area. With traps set, we had hoped to catch him and a few other others.

Getting to know some of the cat caregivers, it seems these cats have several! Before no time the kittens were seen actually playing with crooked tail who we believe is possibly the father.  Within minutes Mom showed up. We were hoping to get mama cat, who they call Goldie. At the same time, one of the cat caregivers, Naman, offered to care for the kittens and work with them 💕. Within minutes both kittens went into two of our traps.  Hoping to catch the Mom next, we put a trap in front of the two kittens in traps, hoping it would lure her to them. Unfortunately, she was nowhere to be seen.  After waiting with no sign of the mama, we moved the kittens, setting them up at Naman’s in a large covered dog kennel with food/water and litter.
Once the traps were available again, it was going on 11 PM. At this point crooked tail had taken up laying beside one of the traps 🤔. Another community cat had gone into the other trap successfully, but he or she was ear tipped and promptly released.  Also by this time, several raccoons and a skunk had moved into the area as it was now dark and the street was quiet. One raccoon literally came out of one of the sewer grates 😳. There is more to do in this area.

Thank you as well to community cat caregiver Denise, who was also trapping to fill appointments for today, and had set two live-traps up in an East Windsor location last night. Unfortunately, Denise did not have any luck this time, but will be trying again!  Denise has been very proactive in her area, spaying and neutering the community cats to keep the population under control.

Thank you to our wonderful supporters who support our TNR efforts🙏🙏. It truly takes a village. More to follow..

🐾This lucky community kitty is at the Humane Society clinic this morning for neuter surgery, through our spay neuter program 🎉🎉🎉.  Along with his neuter, he will receive his vaccines, including rabies booster, flea treatment, microchip for identification and an ear tip!

Thanks to his proactive caregiver Barb Macisaac, for her determination in getting this new colony cat trapped. Barb had tried last week but unfortunately, he was a no-show. Barb set up her trap days in advance this time, but tied it open (trap training) which got him used to coming around and eating from the trap, before setting it the day before the appointment at the clinic. A great tip for those who have a community cat who is cautious about entering in a live-trap 😸.

Thank you again to ALL our wonderful supporters who support our TNR efforts 🙏😸🐾.

Neutering him is the greatest gift you could give him and the future generations of his offspring that you will prevent from suffering on the streets. We are in an overpopulation crisis. Please spay/neuter. 💙

💯 Prevention is key. Two cats can become more very quickly! A few For the Love of Grace volunteer members took this TNR course 10 to 15 years ago at All About Animals. If you have the opportunity to take a TNR class there in Warren Michigan, it’s highly advisable. You can purchase tru catch traps from them as well😽

Best way to help homeless kittens?

Prevention! Did you know 80% of kittens in rescues and shelters come from outdoor cats?

If you feed, you must fix - or you will soon be overrun with more cats than you can care for.

It's not fair to kittens to be fated to homelessness.

You can be the change. Learn all about Trap Neuter Return at a TNR training class. Then get to TNRing! Class gives you a discount on getting the cats fixed and vaccinated for rabies at All About Animals Rescue.

Prevent a litter, save more critters.

Big Boy “BB” is spending his morning at the Humane Society clinic for his neuter surgery through For the Love of Grace! 😸
In addition to being neutered, BB will receive his vaccinations, flea treatment, microchip, and an ear tip to identify him as a sterilized community cat.

A special thank you to dedicated community cat caregiver Denise, whose ongoing efforts to spay and neuter cats in her East Windsor neighbourhood are making a meaningful difference. Because of her commitment, cats like BB have the opportunity to live healthier, safer lives.

A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful supporters, whose generosity makes our TNR program possible 🙏🙏. We’d also like to give a special shout-out to Feral Squares for their kind donation to our TNR program🐈‍⬛🐾

Thank you as well to long time community cat caregiver Barb, who was also trapping for this morning’s appointments. Unfortunately, Barb did not have any luck this time with a new cat in her area ☘️, but she will keep trying 🙏🙏.
