Today we want to talk about pregnancy spays and why they matter 🫶

When a feral female is in our care, we need to make the best decisions for her, our patient. A community cat having a litter is often unsafe. Pregnancy and delivery put heavy stress on a cat's body. When kittens are born, there is a risk associated with the safety of mom and babies. Often, the more litters a mom has had, the more risk the new kittens have.

Keeping a feral mom inside for as long as kittens need is uncomfortable and potentially dangerous to both you and mom. And that's under the assumption the caretaker even has capacity to set them up appropriately. Finding safe placement for these scenarios are near impossible.

The cat overpopulation crisis is very real. We believe in doing our part to help reduce the overpopulation by performing TNR. This is the safest, most humane option for community cats. It would go against our mission of reducing the overpopulation by not spaying a pregnant female.

We know these conversations are often uncomfortable to have, but they're important ones. Our priority will always be serving the community cats. The bottom line is to spay mom - it's the kindest, healthiest option for her ❤️

UPDATE!!!

There must’ve been a lot of Precious Paws supporters shopping and getting great deals at Boscov’s yesterday.

Thank you all for your support! Many of you specifically stopped by the PPCC booth to say hello and purchase your Boscov’s pass from us. It’s always nice to meet the members of our community and chat about cats of course. All the stories shared about how people adopted their kitties is always so heartwarming. We all know that they pick us right? 🐾

We are happy to announce $670 was raised between pre-sales and passes sold yesterday at Boscov’s.

Shout out to all the volunteers who gave their time to man the booth for us for a few hours. We couldn’t do this without you!

Another successful Precious Paws event thanks to our awesome community!

It’s been a rough week, but we still managed to get 8 community cats to the clinic for spay/neuter surgery and vaccines! ❤️

We had to push some cats off this clinic, but we got lucky when we tested Andrea’s Subaru and realized we could fit 8 traps inside! With Samantha dealing with a back injury, Andrea stepped up and handled everything from start to finish, making sure the cats got where they needed to be.

We worked with property owners to secure the cats while Andrea trapped a few of the last remaining cats from a colony of about 50. This is the same colony where we pulled almost two dozen kittens. There’s still work to be done, but every cat we can get fixed makes a difference!

Here’s how YOU can help! 🐾

Not everyone can trap cats, and we understand that. But there are so many other ways to help make this work possible.

❤️ If you can’t trap, maybe you can transport.
❤️ If you can’t transport, maybe you can help with other tasks.
❤️ If you’re unable to volunteer, maybe you can donate toward their care and medical needs.
❤️ And if you can’t do any of those things, sharing our posts and spreading awareness about community cats helps more than you may realize!

Every little bit of help adds up, and no one person can do it all.

A huge THANK YOU to Andrea for stepping up this week and making sure we could help at least some of these cats despite the challenges and working another full time job. We appreciate you! ❤️

For community members looking to get started with TNR: You can schedule appointments through local TNR clinics, but planning ahead is important. Have a trapping plan in place for the day before surgery and begin trap training at least a week beforehand. Walk-in clinics may also be an option, as long as they aren’t closed on the day you plan to go. York SPCA and Brandyw**e in Malvern offer walk-in options, so be sure to check their websites for scheduled closures and current requirements before heading out.

We also want to be honest about something. We hope to continue increasing the number of community cats we can help, but we need support from other rescues and fosters who may be able to take kittens into their programs. We simply cannot house every kitten we come across. Without additional placement options, some kittens will unfortunately have to be returned to the properties where they were found.

That’s why teamwork matters so much. We can only do what our space, resources, and volunteers allow, and we’re always hoping to connect with others who can help us do more.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Precious Paws Community Cats, whether you volunteer, donate, foster, transport, or simply share our posts. We see you, we appreciate you, and we couldn’t keep doing this without you. ❤️🐾

Yesterday was quite a celebration in Mount Gretna, and we are so grateful for the love and support of our community.

Congratulations to all the people who won at Bingo and took home one of our special game prizes and raffle prizes.
Congrats also to the 50/50 Winner. $700 was raised which was split between Precious Paws and one of our guests.

Shout out to all our volunteers who helped us execute this event. Food For Thought Catering, your lunch was amazing!
And we have the best bakers in Lancaster! There was everything from an award-winning apple pie to cupcakes with litter and kitty p**p on them🤣. And we can’t forget the special desserts for our toast. Thank you, Heather for the litter pan desserts and Helga for the beautiful cake of the cat barn.

We are excited to announce that this event raised just shy of $6500.
That money is going to fix a lot of kitty cats as well as get them the medical attention that they need.

The ch*****ne toast, video and ribbon-cutting ceremony were very heartwarming. And what a blessing to have our community come together to celebrate our precious cats and the village that takes care of them.
We are beyond grateful for this Cat Barn that you helped us build!!!

CHEERS to YOU!! 🥂
We will try to add more pictures as they come in.

Thank you,
Much love from the PPCC Team! =^..^=
