This!!!!

It still surprises me 😮 how many people trap a cat and assume someone else will automatically be able to step in and help if they haven’t spoken with them beforehand.

The reality is, vets and clinics are doing their best while working with full schedules, limited appointments, and finite resources. Their days are often booked from start to finish. If an appointment wasn’t made ahead of time, it’s unrealistic to expect an open spot waiting for you and a frightened kitty in a trap. 😞

I know how frustrating appointment availability can be. I’ve felt that frustration too. I don’t have the perfect answer to fix it. 🤷🏼‍♀️ But this is the system we have, and planning ahead is one of the kindest things we can do.

The #1 rule of trapping:
‼️ HAVE A PLAN BEFORE YOU TRAP‼️

Call. Email. Text. Confirm availability. Make sure there is space, resources, or an appointment secured before you begin. Preparation can be the difference between a smooth outcome and a stressful emergency.

✨ Don’t let your emergency become someone else’s emergency. ✨

The goal is always the same: helping the cat in the safest, most responsible way possible.

Meet Clover! 🍀 

This 10 week small-medium mixed breed (NO clue what breeds) puppy is an absolute delight. Clover can only be described as the quintessential middle child: mild-mannered, agreeable, and so loving. He gets along well with other dogs of all kinds, cats, and has even been around horses.
Clover deserves an AMAZING home, one with other dogs to play with and a family willing to teach him all about the world!
Clover is up to date on vaccines and is scheduled to be rabies vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered on June 13, all included in his adoption fee of $300. This little boy is a gem in every way! If interested in giving him a home, fill out an adoption app here: www.tiogacountycatproject.com/adoption

“Wait until 6 months!”
“After first heat!”
“Anytime is fine!”

Not all vets recommend the same thing…

But science says:
Spay/neuter before 5 months old ✔️

Who doesn’t love Lemon Pound Cake?

This BIG boy with a head the size of a whole cake - lemon pound to be precise - is legit one of the coolest cats you’ll ever meet. Honestly, he might as well be a dog. “Poundcake” will follow you around for attention all day long. He knows he’s too scrumptious to resist! Our big man is good with other cats, dogs, and people, and he loves to be pet, brushed, and cuddled.

Poundcake is only about 2 and neutered, up to date on vaccines, flea treated, dewormed, AND microchipped. He is FIV+, but this shouldn’t affect his life as long as he’s kept indoors to avoid exposure to illnesses. Some lucky family is going to have won the lottery with him! If interested in adoption, please message us directly or file out an adoption app here: www.tiogacountycatproject.com/adoption
