Philly Airport Colony in Al’s Memory

Philly Airport Colony in Al’s Memory We continue Al's work with a large colony of feral cats spread across acres in the swamplands near the Philadelphia Airport.

Can you find the kitty in this picture? She is one of 8 wildlings in a single colony location who depend on the colony caretakers for food. If not for this colony, no one would see them, no one would feed them and no one would make sure they are spayed or neutered. Make a tax-deductible contribution through PURR - Philadelphia Urgent Relief and Rescue, or send food as you can through our Amazon Wish List. And thank you.

Winter Food Drive -- The "airport" colony Al Chernoff so generously supported until his tragic death is remote and wild, but the 50 to 60 cats haven't missed a meal and their shelters are ready for winter. Please help the tiny core group of caretakers fill those plates.

Colony management challenges this year included getting on top of the brewing population explosion at our good neighbor colony run by some Philly police officers. Trapping wily mommies in a well-fed colony is not easy, and those little wild kittens are super-slick. But we got them.

Winter food drive - Help us provide for the colony cats, and please consider an e-gift card from Petsmart -- Big Sale Now! You can donate $100 worth of food -- a full week for our 60+ cats -- at a 10% discount. Al's cats like to shop at Petsmart because Petsmart helps us get cats adopted and funds TNR AND because we have no storage space. Address for Petsmart e-gift card [email protected]. Thanks for anything you can spare.

Old Head has ruled the airport colony for many years. The caretakers are getting him dental and medical help, so his final years are strong. He lacks gratitude and hisses at the hands that feed him, but he is perking up already. Can you pitch in to help us raise $800?

Darling Dandy Lion is with rescue and his mom is TNRd. The rest of his litter didn't survive the wild. It's a hard life for a baby or a mom. Please help the colony caretakers TNR the half-dozen-plus new ferals who joined the colony over the past year. Our clinic goal is $500 - cat health and kitten prevention.

Callie is a tabico, gorgeous and wild combination of a calico and a tabby. She was smart enough to move away from the floods and make new friends at a new feeding station and shelter area. We have six major areas within the colony.

Deadbeat Daddy is quite the charmer. He is one of the swamp-born ferals who came to dinner and got a trip to the clinic.

Velvet Robbie is so pretty, he wound up with two ear-tips. His first ear-tip was so minor we didn't see it, so he got to go to the clinic twice! He yells for his dinner.

Some of Old Tab's friends, who moved from the flooded, dangerous area to higher ground. It's not a fancy table, but it's safe and sheltered. We use biodegradable dishes.
