Sterling Avenue Cats

A sad update on one of our long time colony residents (please see link below) -
Thanks to a supportive community the cats have been able to live out their lives well fed and cared for. Our GoFundMe contributions have been utilized to pay for the feedings of the colony members and are insufficient to reimburse for veterinary care.

Any additional contributions would be greatly appreciated at this time

A trap-neuter- adopt program has started on Sterling Avenue to help the stray cats and kit… Donna Longsworth needs your support for Sterling Avenue Cats

In an amazing update- thanks to everyone’s support and the work of our tireless volunteers - we have had no new kitten litters for two whole summers. Our goal in coordinating these efforts was to trap and neuter the entire cat colony, to provide them with a happy and healthy life, and to prevent further growth of the colony. The colony is approximately 13 cats at this time. We regularly provide them feedings and keep our eye out for any new faces or health concerns. In order for us to continue our efforts we are seeking to replenish our funds which is used for food and any necessary healthcare expenses. Any donations are greatly appreciated!
With kind regards- the Sterling Avenue Cat Crew and our loyal cats-those pictured lovingly named Phantom, Creamsicle, Grumpy and Princess.

Emergency food needed and colony update.

The story of kittens Jingle and Sugar

We are happy to share that the Sterling Avenue cat crew is still working hard to support the original cat colony while also helping new faces around the Woodlawn neighborhood. This past year a mommy cat and set of kittens appeared in a Woodlawn neighbor’s yard. With the advice of our certified trapper the cats were placed on a feeding schedule as the neighbor gained their trust. The kittens were then trapped and fully vetted. They have been returned to their momma and are now living a bonded life under the care of the neighbor, whose daughters love them as their own outdoor pets and duly named them Jingle and Sugar.
The original cat colony continues to be regularly fed and managed by our volunteers. Food for the colony costs $100 a month, in addition to routine food donations. We are campaigning for donations of funds through our Go Fund Me and food through our Amazon wish list to continue to support the colony cats and ensure they have a happy and healthy life. Not only do the funds go to food, but are also used for vetting and treatment as necessary.

Thank you for all of the continued Woodlawn neighborhood support. This project began over three years ago and we’ve made a significant impact on the cats’ lives and helped reduce overpopulation.
