Last week, Nancy trapped the second cat at the Tuxedo colony. She dubbed him Little Stevie, and off to his TNR appt they went.

The first photo I saw of Little Stevie was the typical TNR photo of a cat in a trap. He looked so tiny and precious, with a tiny black dot on his nose. I shared this very thought with Nancy, who of course agreed.

Five days after he was trapped, I received the best email from Nancy. It started with, “I failed at the R part.”

Little Stevie, now Stevie Colbert, wiggled his way into Nancy and her husband’s hearts. He quickly settled into their lives, making himself oh so comfortable in the safety of their home.

Stevie wasn’t returned to his colony. He found something even better: A home and a family, one with two cats that Stevie is sure to adore.

Sometimes, a TNR turns into a rescue. For young cats or cats who show hints of socialization towards human, finding a home indoors is the best possible outcome. It isn’t always possible — there are far more cats than willing homes — but when it happens, it’s a true joy to witness.

Welcome home, Stevie. I’m so glad that Nancy trapped you, and that you made yourself impossible to let go of. You lucky little kitten ❤

*Please note, all rescues are facilitated by colony caretakers and trappers. PPR offers TNR and spay/neuter resources, and we do not intake or adopt out animals.

Niki and her team have been trapping at another colony in North Minneapolis. Six adults have been TNR'd so far, three of whom were pregnant. Safely and humanely aborting these pregnancies was the ethical and humane option. Additionally, a litter of kittens at the colony were able to be brought indoors and socialized.

Every spay/neuter prevents future suffering. Every cat brought indoors prevents suffering. This work matters, and we're so happy to work alongside such wonderful people to TNR the community cats of Minnesota.

Today is International Cat Day. We always have cats on our minds, be that our own cats or the community cats we help day in and day out. Cats are misunderstood creatures, but we know that their innate ability to love is undeniable if only you show them patience.

We love cats. We love cats so much that we dedicate our time to ending their suffering and advocating for their wellbeing through targeted TNR and spay/neuter campaigns. We see, all too often in this work, the heartbreaking suffering that community cats face. We see the environmental dangers, the harm from humans, and the horrors of unchecked reproduction. We see it all, and because of that, we are motivated to continuing this hard work.

Cats, and truly all creatures, deserve safe, fulfilled lives. They deserve to be seen as individuals with feelings and fears, and they deserve better from all of us. We’re in this work because we know that a better, more humane world is possible.

We want to extend a special thank you to the people who make our TNR and spay/neuter programs possible. From our international partners in Mexico to the trappers, caregivers, and veterinary clinics who work with us here in Minnesota… We truly couldn’t do this work without you. And to our donors: Thank you for funding this lifesaving work

Kelsey’s work with this colony has been amazing to watch. We’re so thankful for her dedication and commitment to securing the best possible outcomes for these cats.

TNR saves lives.

Spay/neuters save lives

02/08/2026

From colony cats to couch cats :’)

Kelsey is caring for this colony and has successfully trapped Clementine, one of her kittens, and the kittens’ dad. Shy Guy (dad) was TNR’d, but Clementine and Yuzu (kitten) are being socialized for adoption!

Clementine’s second kitten, Tangerine, is the final cat to be trapped and spayed.

Spay/neuter works. It prevents future suffering and addresses the current wellbeing of animals. We love being able to make TNR possible and are so grateful for Kelsey’s work at this colony!

Every week, we fund a spay/neuter clinic for owned and street animals living in the Inn House neighborhood of Playa del Carmen. Our partners at Coco's Animal Welfare Playa del Carmen perform the life-saving sterilization surgeries that free dogs and cats from the harsh realities of reproduction.

Every week, we receive photos of the animals whose spay/neuters we funded. Some weeks, we fund over 50 surgeries. Other weeks, fewer animals show up. Over the past 2.5 years, we've spay/neutered 2,339 dogs and cats at these weekly clinics. That averages to 20 spay/neuters every single week.

We love this work. We know it is so important -- we've seen how these clinics transform the reality of street animals -- and we're honored to work alongside the team at Coco's. Targeted spay/neuter campaigns work.
