Porch Kitty Manor

06/23/2026

Did you know kittens can go into heat as young as 4 months old? That means a kitten could become a mother before she's fully grown herself. Our article, Cat Overpopulation, Welfare and Health: The Importance of Early Spaying and Neutering, breaks down why early spay/neuter is one of the most effective tools we have to reduce overpopulation and prevent unnecessary euthanasia.

Also worth a look, United Spay Alliance drops a new comic every Friday spotlighting the importance of early spay/neuter. Their latest one is a great companion read: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EPfjSUj3Q/

Here’s a better view of the broken cabana. It’s not clear to see but the roof is broken in 2. The cats would chill in and on it. I don’t think I will be replacing it. Everyone is okay. It’s just frustrating.

ETA: ACCT Philly ACOs never arrived. To make matters worse, my phone died so I didn’t get pictures of the dogs. Charger is upstairs so I’m sitting in my car recharging my phone.

I just spent all day cleaning the porch for the colony cats. I tore my rotator cuff so I paid a handyman to bring down the shelters so I could remove the straw and clean them for the summer.
It started to rain so I dashed inside. I hear a crash! Two big dog are running up and down the street. They suddenly jumped on my porch, trampling my plants and destroyed the cat’s cabana.

I called Acct. Hopefully they can get here before they leave.

Thankfully the cats are fine. Chessie was actually inside one of the shelters, but the dogs couldn’t get inside.

I’m just so angry & frustrated!

Meet Charlotte

A week after I got Wilbur, I got a call from a caretaker who found another kitten in her yard. I asked if a mama or littermates had been seen & the answer was “No”.

So Charlotte has been hanging out in my bathroom. She hasn’t met Wilbur yet because she’s still under quarantine.

Charlotte’s food of choice is tiki kitten mousse. We’ve added it to our wishlist along with the Royal Canin pate that Wilbur likes.

I was planning to slowly introduce Wilbur to wet food. He has decided he only wants wet food. No more baby 🍼 for him!

Wilbur is getting big! His ears are no longer curled. This morning he went over and sampled some cat food while I was feeding the inside crew. Tomorrow I’m going to let him try a bit of slurry.

Every part including the water - toxic

🌺 🌺 🌺 FLOWER SAFETY 🌺 🌺 🌺

Did you know that for cats, every part of a lily (petals, leaves, and even pollen) is highly toxic? Even a small amount of pollen on their fur can be ingested while grooming and can lead to severe kidney damage.

Do you have a plant in your house that you’re unsure about? Drop the name in the comments and we might feature it. 🌿

If you suspect your pet has been exposed to a toxic plant, please call Pet Poison Control. Pet Poison Control will provide a case number and we we will know the best course of treatment.
