❤️ **TNR SAVES LIVES!** 🐾
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) does so much more than help control the outdoor cat population. It also gives us the opportunity to rescue cats and kittens who might otherwise never have a chance at a better life.
Through our TNR efforts, we humanely trap outdoor cats, provide necessary medical care, spay or neuter, vaccinate, and return feral cats who are fearful of people to their familiar outdoor homes and caretakers.
But not every cat we trap is feral. We frequently encounter friendly adult cats who have been abandoned, along with kittens young enough to be socialized and placed into loving homes. In fact, the majority of our adoptable cats and kittens are rescued from the outdoors.
❤️ **Meet Wren, Sparrow, and Starling.**
We trapped their mother, provided the care she needed, and returned her to her outdoor home. But we knew she had kittens somewhere, and we weren't about to leave them behind.
After searching, we finally found her three tiny daughters. All three had eye infections and needed medical attention. We brought them into our foster care and adoption program, where they were bottle-fed, treated, and lovingly raised until they were healthy and ready for homes of their own.
**The photos below tell a beautiful story.** The first shows the three little girls on the day we rescued them. The second captures a very special moment today as Starling went home with this wonderful couple who opened their hearts and home to her! ❤️
From a tiny, vulnerable kitten struggling to survive outdoors to a beautiful, healthy girl beginning her new life in a safe, loving indoor home.
**This is why we do what we do. This is why TNR matters. And this is what rescue is all about.**
Thank you to Starling's new family for giving this sweet, gorgeous girl the forever home she deserves. We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness together!
🐾 **Every cat deserves compassion. Every rescue matters. Every life is worth saving.**
