In fond memory of Molly, who helped our local Santa Cruz wildlife for over 22 years at Native Animal Rescue.
In this tribute video she exonerates feral cats from bird predation but not domestic/social cats.
March is baby bird season!
And it’s critical that domestic pet cats be contained early mornings and early evenings when birds must feed… sometimes on lower and riskier blossoms… to revive after sleeping and to survive the next night.
We love our cats and we love our birds too!

We know that cat colony caregiving can require a lot of time, money, and energy.

So when resources are limited, you may wonder what to tackle first: finding homes for kittens (a quick way to reduce colony populations), or making sure adult cats in the colony are spayed or neutered (a longer-term strategy).

👉 The answer: If you can’t do both at once, always fix adults first! Unfixed adults can continue the cycle of new litters while you’re busy placing kittens, so put an end to the cycle —then start placements.

Rescue needs all of us working together to be successful and so that no one slips through the cracks.
Thank you 10 Lives TNVR!

This weeks 5 spay/neuter kitties.

This location is next door to one we recently did 20 cats for. They felt we were finished there and they were so happy that ALL of the cats were now fixed. What they didn't know is next door, behind a fenced and gated yard, MORE kitties were going to produce a new population explosion to chase down. Thankfully, the neighbors reached out to Project Purr and PP reached out to us.

Unfortunately, one of the kitties here had a serious and very painful condition and had to be relieved from his suffering. We never get used to these heartbreaking situations.

Thank you SNIP Bus-Spay Neuter Imperative Project. It was worth driving to Greenfield.
