Rock Creek Cats (www.rockcreekcats.org) is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to helping less fortunate felines in the D.C. area.

When we come across cats who are good candidates for adoption, we get appropriate veterinary care for them and foster them until they are placed in loving, permanent homes. Adoptable cats can be viewed on our website, www.rockcreekcats.org.

EXTRA CARE
Rock Creek Cats trapped eight feral cats, including this black female, in a Northwest DC backyard last weekend and got them spayed/neutered and vaccinated. Most of the cats needed treatment for upper respiratory infections or other ailments, so the group should be much healthier going forward.

MICROCHIP SUCCESS STORY!
We received a call today from a microchip company saying a Good Samaritan had found one of “our” cats in her neighborhood in Olney. The woman had gotten the friendly feline scanned for a chip and had contacted the chip provider. It turns out the cat is an orange-and-white tabby boy named Laurel, who we rescued from a dumpster and adopted out 12 years.

We immediately contacted Laurel's human, who told us she had been looking feverishly for her beloved indoor-only pet since he got out of her house on Sunday when a door was inadvertently left open. We put her in touch with the finder – it turns out they live only a few houses apart – and Laurel was soon back home with his human.

We are thankful for all the Good Samaritan did to keep Laurel safe and reunite him with his human. And we are so glad he is microchipped, which helped give this story a happy ending.

MAKING CATS HEALTHIER
During our latest trap-neuter-return (TNR) expedition in Capitol Heights, we caught this black-and-white female, who, it turns out, had pyometra, a life-threatening uterus infection. Even the very-seasoned veterinarian who worked on her was taken aback at how bad her uterus looked. The kitty's condition was resolved with her spay surgery, and she is expected to lead a much healthier life now.

Another cat from the same location, this buff tabby male, was drooling and had mouth odor due to dental disease. The dental procedure he received should make him feel much better. And getting him neutered should bring his fighting days to an end.

The people who feed these cats were unable to contribute to their veterinary care, so we are asking for donations. The total bill for these two cats alone was more than $600.

MEET CYBILL
I’m a cute, sweet and irresistible young girl. Born to a feral mom in southeast D.C., I warmed up quickly to indoor life and people. My favorite activities include eating wet food, playing with cat toys and getting petted, and I purr up a storm when held by a human. I have a lot of kitten energy, so I would prefer to go to a home with a young feline playmate. I have been spayed and vaccinated, so I’m ready for my forever home.
