Community Pet Rescue

The last of seven babies was soooo hard to catch! Two days, still a struggle. So our volunteer brought out one of the noisiest siblings, and that last baby was so thrilled to see a familiar face, he didn’t even fight a little scruffing when he was gently picked up and reunited with his sibling 🥹
Phew! Seven little lives collected from under that shed this week 💕🐾💙

Lady, the Queen Momma of her block, was finally relieved of her reproductive responsibilities yesterday. Lady is responsible for two or three litters every year in her neighborhood, and she is estimated to be at least 5-6yo. At least. Congratulations Lady 🥹

Tux, well, he might have definitely fathered some of Lady’s babies. And he also might be her son. Tux was relieved of his testosterone factory yesterday. These last two from this block will ensure that their feeders can live with the peace of knowing there won’t be any more kittens. From their regulars, at least.

Baby Daddy, another tuxedo, and his girlfriend MooCat, are responsible for the seven kittens our volunteer trapped under a shed out in the country (six black/white babies, and one random Siamese mix… moocat must’ve had an out of town visitor 🤨). The feeders are very elderly, and tripping/falling is a HUGE concern. MooCat isn’t a problem at all for them, as she stays away. But Baby Daddy has become too friendly with them, and these property owners are adamant (and for good reason, it’s become a safety issue) that Baby Daddy not be returned.
This poses a huge problem for us, as relocating an adult is never a good option. If any of our supporters have any ideas, or can commit to helping us relocate him to another barn, please let us know! He’s extremely smart, and a very accomplished Hunter.

And the grey/white friendlyish stray, just a baby herself, but teenage pregnancies are frowned upon in the world of rescue, so sweet girl, yesterday you were relieved of the burden of motherhood at too young of an age.

All kittens are in foster receiving medical support so they can grow up healthy and strong for new families. It was a messy, long, exhausting few days to bring six adults in traps to a clinic in WI, not to mention all the trips back and forth to the farm working to collect all the babies. Quite the accomplishment 🥳

***Edit to add: kittens are NOT yet available! We only adopt out healthy vetted (neutered/vaccinated/microchipped) cats and kittens.

Maybe the stars were wonky but
For our six TNR appointments today, we were only able to secure three cats. One older guy, and two young ladies, both who have raised too many kittens. One of those said litters is now safe and sound, thanks to the persistence of the property owner and our volunteer. (So actually we got seven trapped, but only three could see the vet today)
The kittens are spicy and scared but safe,
And these adults will soon be able to resume their days, catting away.

She trapped 58 cats at a mobile home park last spring. This year, they called back - to learn how to do it themselves!

Stacy sits down with Tanya Cook of Ohio Alleycat Resource in Cincinnati to talk about what it really looks like to build a community cat program from scratch and how one person can spark a movement.

🐾 400+ cats TNR'd in the pilot year
🐾 From neonatal foster to full-time advocate
🐾 The Neighborhood Cat Ambassador Program
🐾 Zip code targeting using shelter & rescue data
🐾 Community cat census via QR code flyers
🐾 Teaching communities to sustain the work themselves

This is the long game. And it's working. 🙌

Fix by FOUR (MONTHS) — That’s All It Takes 🐾

We know every May, kittens born early in the year begin reaching sexual maturity and join the breeding cycle in our city.

‼️ Four months ‼️

That’s all it takes before female cats can become part of the next wave of litters — and a “siren call” for every unaltered male in the area.

So many well-meaning people take in kittens to keep them safe, only to later realize they need vaccinations, vet care, and spay/neuter — and suddenly the situation becomes overwhelming.

🐾 Don’t forget Mom + Dad cats matter too: Fixing kittens alone is not enough to stop the cycle.

To truly prevent more litters, it’s essential to:
✔️ Spay the mom cat
✔️ Neuter the dad cat
✔️ Fix ALL free-roaming cats in the area

If the adults aren’t fixed, new litters will continue to appear — even if kittens are removed or adopted out.
