TNR fail‼️ Troy, MI
I need help finding the sweetest kitten in the world a home. She is about 12-13 weeks old.
I trapped her last Sunday and this is her now. I started handling her the other day bc she needs eye meds. Well, that backfired when she realized her sole purpose in life is to cuddle and get scratchies from human hands.
She’s fixed, neg tests, getting medical care.
Feel free to ask any questions! I’ll be answering sporadically as I am doing a bunch of donation pickups today.

My favorite part of tnR - return!

Al was our first cat TNR’d in our What a Wonderful World colony. Our naming theme is song titles. Last night I sat with “Al” and we went thru some names. I told him to blink when he liked one. About 6 song titles in, he blinked on “You Can Call Me Al”. So he chose his name, just Al for short. 🐾🤍🐾

Dawn is setting him free so she gets to be the good guy and open the trap!

Have this handsome fella was caught the other night, had his trouble puffs removed yesterday and is back in my garage for the night. Release tomorrow!! He cannot wait! He tells me constantly. He’s not feral at all. Not a cuddly guy but definitely not feral. He will be happy to be on his way 🐾🐾🐾🐾 to a life of not making anymore kittens!!

Just picked up this “guy” (I think) but he doesn’t seem feral at all. I tried to look for “trouble puffs” aka nuts, but couldn’t tell. I’ll keep checking and see if we can tell anything when I take him to the vet tomorrow. Hate for him to be sedated if not necessary. (Another great reason not to let your cats roam! They’ll be trapped for the night! But safer than outside….)

I have a super sweet cat coming back to me that I found a home for last summer. The home has another female cat and there’s been some territory issues.
I’m thinking she needs to go to a home where she is the only cat or possibly with a male cat.
She is fixed, UTD on shots and well cared for.
She is not feral at all, just a regular house cat in need of a furever home.
She is fine with dogs.
Her name is Phantom because she looks like she’s wearing the mask from Phantom of the Opera 🖤🤍

Tuesday I was contacted about these 3 nerds. Their momma had been hit by a car and they needed intervention asap. I went out and trapped them one day at a time.
First we got the runt and most curious, confident and bold out of the bunch. She got out in my car and crawled up into the dashboard! It took a lot of convincing me I wouldn’t kill her if I drove home. I put food and water on my floorboards and the next day I saw her out but when I opened the door she went back in the dash. So I went up to my trusty car mechanic and they got her out!! So now she’s named Gary Randy after the 2 men that worked the most to free her. And after all the manhandling she had gone thru, she was quite friendly and curled right up on my chest when I first picked her up.
Her tabby brother was caught next and the sweet girl I was working on them with drove out to me to deliver him. Then while she was out meeting me, the 3rd baby was caught. She kept him for the night and I picked him up the next day hoping to catch the last 4th one. No dice tho. We are still trying.
But the 3 are happy to be back together (in my tiny half bath) and are going to their foster tomorrow.
The boys (twice the size of their sister) are scaredy-cats. While the little is super friendly already. She purrs when I hold her and loves to snuggle. She’s going to be someone’s best friend someday. They all will! The boys just need some more time to figure out I’m not going to eat them. But the little girl has stolen my heart. I love her so much! It will be hard to let her go but I am just a stepping stone to her new life.

Everyone meet Spicy Meatball aka Frances Scott Key aka Spicy Frank now Luke Skykitty!
Monday I got called out to help this kitten in need. His momma is feral and he was the only one left and ready to leave his mom at 7 weeks old. The awesome foster came to pick him up on a holiday! And he already has a new home. He won’t go just yet but he’s already met his foster mom and there were hearts and butterflies coming from both their heads 🦋 💕 🥰
I’ll be back to trap mom and a couple toms in the neighborhood hopefully Monday.

It’s a girl!!
We are thinking of naming her Banana bc she is in love with this banana toy. She’s always cuddled with it.
And her mama got dropped off at the clinic this morning to get fixed.

Got this little pudding face and it’s mama today. I’ll post about her update soon. This little one had 2 siblings that disappeared. We hope people grabbed them. But we were able to secure this lil nugget tonight. It’s already off in a foster home. This one was too cute to go back on the streets and being so young and already socialized with people makes it a perfect candidate to give to my friend’s rescue! I can’t wait to find out if it’s a boy or a girl. All I know is that its too cute for words.

Got my first 2 victims in the Kitty Clinic! They will be taken to the vet in the morning, spayed and neutered, and then stay with me for a couple nights and then take him back to where they were just trapped from.
