A few months ago, we helped a nearby neighborhood set up this community cat shelter and feeding station, and today we finally get to share the best kind of update.

Because this neighborhood committed to consistent care and TNR, they’ve had zero new litters of kittens this year. Not one. For a community that used to see litter after litter, that’s a huge, life‑changing shift for the cats who call this area home.

This little shelter has become a safe place for them to rest, stay dry, and find regular food and water — but the real magic has been watching neighbors learn, get involved, and take ownership of humane cat care. When people understand TNR and work together, the results speak for themselves.

Small projects can make a big impact. This one already has.

📚🐾 Story Time at the Gulf Shores Library — Featuring Fluffy the Teaching Cat

Yesterday we spent the morning at the Gulf Shores Library for story time, and we brought along a very special guest: Fluffy, our stuffed‑animal “teaching cat” who helps kids learn how to interact with real cats safely and kindly.

Fluffy may be made of fluff and stitches, but she’s one of our best educators. With her help, the kids practiced:

• Gentle petting — slow hands, soft touches, and letting the “cat” come to them
• Reading cat body language — what a relaxed cat looks like vs. a cat who needs space
• Respect and empathy — because kindness toward animals starts with understanding

The kids were incredible — curious, gentle, and eager to learn. They asked thoughtful questions, practiced their new skills with Fluffy, and left with a better understanding of how to treat real cats with care.

We’re so grateful to Ms. Kelli at the gulfshoreslibrary for inviting us, and to all the families who joined us for a morning of stories, giggles, and hands‑on learning. These moments help build a safer, more compassionate community for both kids and cats.

🐾 This Week, Our 2‑Person TNR Team Helped 3 Neighborhoods - And We Now We Need Your Help

This week has been one of our biggest TNR pushes yet. Our entire TNR team is just two people, and together they trapped, transported, and recovered cats from three different neighborhoods. That’s dozens of cats who will never have to struggle through litter after litter, and countless kittens who will never be born into hardship.

But the truth is simple:
TNR saves lives, and it also stretches us to our limit.

Every trap, every surgery, every recovery crate, every mile driven… it all costs time, energy, and money. And when the need is this big, we can’t keep up without community support.

If you believe in preventing suffering before it starts, today is a powerful day to help.

Your donation directly supports:

• Spay/neuter surgeries for community cats
• Trapping supplies like traps, covers, and recovery crates
• Fuel and transport to get cats safely to and from appointments
• Food and support for colony caretakers in the neighborhoods we serve

Every dollar helps us say “yes” when someone calls about a cat who needs to be fixed.

💛 Donate today and be part of the solution.

May was a month full of hard work, heavy moments, and big wins.

We welcomed 43 new intakes and now care for 351 cats across our programs. We completed 23 TNRs, answered 83 calls for help, and held 3 volunteer orientations to grow our team. We used 91 bags of cat food to keep everyone fed. We also experienced heartbreak with the loss of 1 sanctuary cat and 8 fragile kittens.

Coastal Cats & Critters is 100% funded by donations and run entirely by volunteers. We don’t receive government support; every rescue, every TNR, every bottle baby, every sanctuary resident is cared for because of people who give their time, resources, and hearts.

Your support keeps us going. Whether you donate, volunteer, foster, or simply share our posts, you make this work possible. Thank you for standing with us and helping protect the cats and critters who depend on our sanctuary every day.

It’s $5 Friday — and today we’re talking about one of the biggest, most essential expenses of running a 300‑cat sanctuary: flea & tick prevention.

Every single one of our residents gets one long‑acting dose that protects them for five full months. It’s safe, effective, and absolutely necessary… but it’s not cheap.

We average $10 per cat for that 5‑month protection.
With 300+ cats, that means we spend over $3,000 at once just to keep everyone parasite‑free through the worst of the season.

That’s thousands of dollars in one hit — for something you’ll never see in a photo, but that makes all the difference in their comfort and health.

Your $5 today truly matters.
Your $1 matters.
When hundreds of people give a little, we can cover this huge seasonal cost and keep every cat safe, itch‑free, and protected from the diseases fleas and ticks can carry.

Thank you for helping us care for a community this big, this fragile, and this loved. 💛🐾

Our blessing boxes around Silverhill and Marlow are freshly filled this week with cat food, dog food, and other pet essentials — stocked with love by our community for anyone who needs a little help caring for their animals.

You’ll also find new info sheets inside each box with details about Safe Harbor Animal Coalition’s affordable spay/neuter options, including how to schedule and what support is available. Early spay/neuter keeps our community animals healthier and reduces suffering, and we want everyone to have access to it. If you need help with access to a carrier or there are other factors limiting your ability to utilize their wonderful programs, just let us know so we can work together to find a solution.

And just a reminder: even when we’re not posting about it, we are still out there filling boxes. If you know of a spot that’s running low or an area where a blessing box is needed, please let us know. We want to make sure help is reaching the families and pets who need it most.

If you need food or supplies, please take what you need.
If you’re able to give, adding even a few cans or a small bag of kibble makes a real difference.

Community caring for community — that’s how we keep bellies full and tails wagging. 💛🐾

Our kitten room is officially at capacity — and these babies are ready for their forever homes.

Noon, Pétri, Miranda, Carrie, Mr. Big, Stanford, and Natasha are growing fast, eating us out of house and home, and they’re about to hit the stage where they need their own families to keep thriving.

Every one of them will be fixed, microchipped, and receive their first round of kitten vaccines before adoption. They’re healthy, social, and at the perfect age to bond deeply with their new people.

But here’s the truth:
Kitten season is hitting hard, and we cannot take in the next wave until these little ones are placed.
Adopting now directly opens space for the next litter that needs us.

If you’ve been thinking about adopting — this is the moment.
Our adoption application is available through Stray Love Foundation, and the link will be posted below.

Let’s get these babies into loving homes so we can keep saving more.

These two siblings can’t be distracted by the chaos of the kitten room.
