Huge THANK YOU to Laurie P and another generous anonymous supporter for all this food!

Pictured here is part of their donation — not pictured are 2 full flats of wet canned food.

This food fuels our trapping efforts, supports cats during spay/neuter recovery, and helps us care for the colonies we manage in Fruitland.

To say we’re thankful is an understatement.
Every single can makes a difference. 🐾

🐾 THANK YOU, SUPPORTERS! 🐾

Because of YOU, we took 7 cats to the clinic on the 28th!

✨ 4 females
✨ 3 males

From Payette & Fruitland to Friendly Fixers in Nampa for spay/neuter.

That’s 7 cats helped.
That’s countless future litters prevented.

We couldn’t do this without you. Thank you for standing with us. 🖤

🔔 CLINIC REMINDER – WE’RE STILL PUSHING 🔔

On February 28th, Stray Haven Animal Alliance has the opportunity to help 6 feral community cats through a spay/neuter clinic — and we’re still working to make it happen.

We’re participating In a clinic put on by Friendly Fixers In Nampa. They only take Check or cash as payment.

Each spot represents:
• Fewer kittens born outdoors
• Healthier, more stable colonies
• A real, lasting impact for community cats

💰 Our goal: $300 minimum
🐱 Our hope: $500 to include vaccines

🚨 Important reminder:
These clinic spots are for feral/community cats only. All cats will be humanely trapped, altered, (vaccinated if funds allow), and ear-tipped for identification.

👉 Can you help us say YES to these cats?
Even a small donation moves us closer.

Donations can be sent via Venmo
or message us to arrange a drop-off.

💙 Sharing this post helps just as much.

🐾 WE NEED CAT FOOD 🐾

With kitten season and TNR season approaching, and warmer days bringing cats out into the open, Stray Haven Animal Alliance is being called to help.

To continue caring for colonies and safely trapping and recovering TNR cats, we need:
• Dry kibble for community cat colonies
• Wet food for trapping and TNR recovery

If you’re able to donate, it truly makes a difference.

Drop-offs at Eastern Oregon Animal Health
or message us to arrange a meet-up.

Thank you for showing up for cats who have no one else.

Big impact made in our Border Town!!

3 males and 1 female from Payette colony, 1 male and 1 female from Ontario. All fixed, ear tipped, and returned back to their homes humanely. This is what TNR is all about.

These kitties were neutered and spayed on January 22nd from colonies E is working on.

This is how we create real change — one colony at a time.
Fewer litters. Less suffering. Healthier community cats.

Thank you to everyone who supports SHAA and makes this possible. 💛

If you’d like to help us continue fixing cats, please reach out on how you can donate.

🐾 Help Us Say YES to 6 Feral Cats on Feb 28th 🐾

Stray Haven Animal Alliance (SHAA) has been offered spots at a spay/neuter clinic on February 28th, and we want to fill all 6 spots with feral community cats in need.

Here’s the breakdown:
• $50 per feral cat for spay/neuter
• $15–$30 per cat for vaccines (depending on funds raised)

Our goal is to raise at least $300 to make this clinic possible. More if we want to get the vaccines too, which we feel is just as important. Our ultimate goal is $500 for this clinic.

🚨Just to Clarify -
For this clinic only, these spots are reserved for feral/community cats only. We are not able to take pet cats to this clinic. All cats will be humanely trapped, altered, and ear-tipped for community cat identification.

This helps ensure resources are used as intended—to reduce overpopulation and improve the health of cats living outdoors.

💙 Every dollar helps. Even sharing this post helps.
👉 Can our supporters help us reach this goal?

You can donate via Venmo or we can arrange to pick up monetary donations!

Thank you for supporting humane, responsible solutions for community cats. 🐱💙

Written by a good friend of ours. This is very good read.

Someone cared enough…
That’s what the corner of that cat’s ear being tipped (cut off) means. Someone cared enough. Enough to take time out of their day for that wild cat. To load up trapping supplies, go to the trapping location, set traps, monitor traps, and wait hours in most cases to fill traps. Then to bring them home in the traps and get them set up somewhere overnight and care for them. To drive them to the vet the next day, wait in line, and check them in for surgery. To pay (or get vouchers) for them to be spayed/neutered and vaccinated. If they are extra nice, they pay extra for flea meds and dewormer, knowing it will only last a month, but knowing that might be the only month of reprieve they have in their whole life from being eating alive. They care enough to drive back the next day and pick them up from the vet and in most cases house them for a day or two for recovery. In that time they care for them and make sure they are healing from surgery well. Then they drive them back to the trapping location and release them back to their outdoor home. From there, back home to clean and wash the traps and supplies to be ready for next time. This takes HOURS. Hours for a feral street cat that so many people hate.
So that feral cat you see out there with an ear tip, someone cared enough to take the time to give them a better life. To stop the cycle. To try to tackle the overpopulation and suffering. To help curb the testosterone driven territorial fights and spraying. To help that female not get pyometria from having litter after litter until she dies. To try to keep the numbers down so less people threaten their lives.
That indoor cat with the ear tip…someone cared a little extra. They saw that cat had potential to thrive in a life off the streets and they gave them that chance. They worked with them to overcome their fears so they wouldn’t live that harsh street life with a much shorter life expectancy than indoor cats.
That ear tip is how us trappers identify a cat that has already been spayed/neutered. It is a quick way to look at a feral cat and know if they have been fixed or not. This helps us not trap the same cats and send them through the stress of transport to the vet repeatedly, because we can see they have already been fixed. If a cat with an ear tip ends up in the trap, we can just release them immediately and keep trying until we get a cat that is not ear tipped.
Some people don’t like how the ear tip looks, or how painful it might be (it’s done under anesthesia during their spay/neuter surgery)… But that ear tip is a badge of honor. Someone cared enough.
