A note for cat owners in West Deptford

Over the past 48 hours, our team has treated two cats from West Deptford for gunshot wounds. The cats came from two separate households. One needed a leg amputation, and the other needed an enucleation, which is surgical removal of an eye. [Both are recovering at home with their families.]

We’re sharing this so neighbors can take precautions. If your cat spends time outdoors, please consider keeping them inside for now, especially overnight and at dawn and dusk. When your cat comes home, check them for limping, swelling, small puncture wounds, or a change in behavior. Gunshot and pellet wounds can be very small and easy to miss under fur.

If your pet is injured, please have them seen promptly. If you have any information about these incidents, contact the West Deptford Police Department at [number]. Harming an animal is a crime in New Jersey.

We’re thinking of both families, and we’re grateful we could be there for their cats.

PLEASE, Trap With A PLAN!!

You heard about a sad situation, a pregnant community cat, an injured kitty…….so, you ran right out and trapped it. Now what???? You call the clinic and no appointments are available for at least two weeks. And you don’t have any place to hold it.

Unfortunately this happens almost every day, sometimes more than once, at every clinic and to everyone scheduling spay/neuter appointments for the clinics. Sadly, there just aren’t enough resources to meet the need and often clinics are scheduled two or more weeks out. And the cats already scheduled are pregnant, injured, from sad situations, or have been waiting for up to a month for an appointment.

You really push the scheduler…..you are desperate to get an appointment for your cat. You have nowhere to hold it and you’ll just need to take it back if you can’t get in. But often there is nothing the person scheduling appointments can do – the clinic is full and there just isn’t an option. But now he/she has a picture of your cat, your sad situation, in his/her head. Nothing can be done, but knowing about this situation has added even more stress to an already difficult job.

Please understand that people working with spay/neuter clinics, whether they are paid staff or volunteers, are doing this because they love the cats and want to make their lives better. When the answer has to be no it’s not personal, it’s the reality of not having enough resources to meet all of the needs.

When dealing with these situations PLEASE, identify your resources before you trap the cat, or have a plan to hold the cat for several days or even a couple of weeks. Be kind to the people working with the clinics…..they are doing everything they can and sadly they are dealing with situations like yours many times during any given week. Compassion fatigue is real.

Compassion for Community Cats Law
Senate Bill - S384
Assembly Bill 0 A4587

A bill moving through Trenton would put state money behind one of New Jersey's most common — and most contested — approaches to outdoor cats: trap them, fix them, and put them back. Senate Bill 384, formally the Compassion for Community Cats Law, sets up a dedicated state fund to…
