DAY 3: HEAT CYCLES ARE NO JOKE 😳

Female cats don't just go into heat once or twice a year...

They can go into heat every 2–3 weeks during breeding season.

That means:
📣 Loud yowling
🚪 Trying to escape
🐾 Constant mating attempts

It's stressful for them—and for you.

Spaying eliminates the cycle and gives them a calmer, healthier life.

❤️ Seeing cats constantly breeding in your neighborhood?

The most humane way to manage community cat populations is through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR).
Every cat we trap and sterilize helps prevent future litters, reduces suffering, and improves life for cats living outdoors.

Time for some 𝐌𝐘𝐓𝐇-𝐁𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒‼️

Over the years, we've heard a lot of concerns about Trap-Neuter-Return. Most come from a place of caring, but many are based on misconceptions. Let's talk about a few of them.

The more we learn about TNR, the more we realize that it isn't about taking something away from cats. It's about giving them a healthier, safer future. ❤️

Undoubtedly, we strive to do our best with the resources available, with particular emphasis on Spay and Neuter services.

We recently received negative feedback from a veterinarian in Connecticut who adopted a cat from our rescue. While we respect that adopters are entitled to their opinions, we felt it was important to provide some context about the realities of rescue work and the policies we have always been transparent about.

Enfield Community Cat Project is an all-volunteer, all-donation-based nonprofit rescue. The cats and kittens that come through our program often originate from hoarding situations, abandonment cases, owner surrenders, stray populations, and other challenging circumstances. Unlike breeders, we rarely have complete medical histories and cannot guarantee the future health of any animal. This is clearly disclosed in our adoption contract.

The concerns raised involved a previously treated rodent ulcer and a positive f***l test performed after adoption. The cat’s rodent ulcer had been treated while in our care and was documented in the veterinary records provided at adoption. Regarding parasites, our rescue policy has always been to evaluate and treat animals based on clinical signs and veterinary guidance. We do not routinely perform f***l testing on every cat and kitten that enters our rescue. The cost of doing so would significantly impact our ability to save animals, provide medical care, and continue serving our community.

Every rescue organization must balance ideal medical protocols with finite resources. If we performed every possible diagnostic test on every animal, we would help far fewer cats and kittens each year. Instead, we focus our resources on providing spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, treatment for known illnesses, emergency medical care, and other essential services that allow us to save hundreds of cats annually.

We understand that not everyone will agree with our policies, and that’s okay. Prospective adopters should choose a rescue, shelter, or breeder whose philosophy aligns with their expectations. We remain proud of the work our volunteers do every day and will continue our mission of helping cats and kittens in need while being transparent about our procedures, limitations, and commitment to responsible rescue practices. ❤️🐾

Thanks South 71 Veterinary Clinic & Supplies for Dr Amy & Dr. Jessica for the treatment /tail amputation on Friday for Stash. He was in a situation where he came on property so of course I got him neutered! Well he's my cat now and came with an injury to his tail. In hopes that it was just a wound ended up he needed it amputated
Stash is on the road to recovery.. Definitely a Busy Friday with spays and trip for Stash,but worth it!!!

Thanks to Lakeside Companion Animal Clinic for the 3 life-changing spays done yesterday, a testament to compassion and kindness that prevents more furry friends from entering the world, all made possible by the generosity of directors and donors, resulting in 3 happy endings and no more unexpected litters!
