We are a 501 3 c non profit focusing on TNVR programs and colony management. Located in southwestern PA, our goal has always been clear.

We adopt out friendly cats and kittens while performing TNVR, and educating the public. We are in it for the animals. Our main focus is Trap Neuter Vaccinate Return programs to curb the over population. Our methods incorporate the most humane trapping methods and effective colony management over all. In doing so, we do not return kittens, friendly, sick, or injured, cats who can be placed for adoption. We will always strive to be a continuing educational resource for the community.

This lady was brought in last night to the shelter. I named her Shuri. Not because she is a black panther, but because she has earned it. She was brought in with little info to go on. Her caretaker saw a cat, put food out, saw she was pregnant, and started trying to trap her. For two months that was a no go. I am not surprised. I have trapped countless momma cats and they are the hardest. They trust nothing, nor anyone. In that time, she recently brought her four beans to eat, and then finally let herself be trapped.

When I opened the carrier to examine her, she initially let me pet her, but quickly became overwhelmed and lashed out. That’s ok. She has faced some battles out there and isn’t ready. Her kids are in a separate carrier and she hasn’t even been able to check on them. How does something less than 5lbs keep them safe, feed them and herself, and keep them clean? After all these years of witnessing this miracle, I am still humbled by this notion. The little black momma cat that could, with only 3 legs.

I didn’t lead with her biggest trial of life because it shouldn’t define her. But yes, she is missing her back paw completely. We will never know what happened. She could have been born this way, leg hold trap, who knows. She has piercing emerald eyes that see right through you. I stared at her for 30 seconds while she judged me. She allowed me some minor graces, touching her tail, trying to see her leg, I had several different medicines ready to bring her comfort, heal her, protect her, and rid her of parasites. But at the end of those 30 seconds, being without her kids, her patience wore out. She would have none of it and lashed out at me. She drew first blood. And I absolutely let her. What I got was a large amount of trust on the first day. Worth more than I paid. I’ll take it. I let her rest. Tomorrow we begin again.

Remember the last (7) all extra toed, doe eyed beans I posted about on Monday? Well, Thursday another group of kittens showed up from the same location. A dilute calico, a tortie, a tuxie, and a ginger. There is however no punch line to this joke ☹

When Ruth called me to say she was on her way she thought maybe the orange guy wasn’t even going to make the trip…… rough shape indeed. He is very thin. The fleas (I will post a flea video this evening) The worms, the freaking bugs. All I could do was sit there and shake my head. These four were smaller and more fragile than the other 7. All with extra toes. I cant imagine living a life like that outside. So small and living each day in hell. Not enough food to go around. No one to help with bugs. No one to tell them what is safe and what isn’t. And least of all, no hugs.

It took me over an hour to comb them and take as many fleas off as I could. Giving a bath with these weights, and upper respiratory issues would have killed them. So Capstar, combing, warm bed and food, and just a little time. The proof is right there in the photo. I realized the tiny tuxie from the original 7 would have belonged to this litter here. He was about the same age and those had to be his siblings. I mean there was an identical tuxie girl, to match him. Twins, that was his sister. So after 6 days in rescue…….. he is bright eyed and spunky. And I figured with just a little luck…… this little guy would gently show them the way.

Our newest addition. Jinn, Claude, maybe Tibbs? Name to come!

So an update on the Saturday litter of four. That should be five, but Mackenzie Hohman snatched one from its trap and stole her. Anyway, They are adjusting well. The four came in with fleas and ticks, roundworms, and garbage gut. The first day, they had bright yellow water leaking from their butts. Today, they are semi solid and color is more normal. That means the parasites are dwindling! Yay! They are vibrant and playful and just absolutely love to toss those springs around!

If all goes well they will be ready in about 3 weeks. Thanksgiving! So names! For the darker orange boy, Sweet Potato of course! The buff sir, Butternut. The buff miss, Paprika. The long haired black gentlekitten….. Friday. (for Black Friday)

When Five means Four. Tarentum, PA

Someone we've worked with for years posted that a litter of kittens needed rescue placement. They looked so sad in their traps 😿. We shuffled and made room and agreed to take in the 5. They were to come today.

What arrived were four. Where's the fifth? 🤷‍♀️ A self proclaimed rescuer went over and snatched it for her uncle. Mckenzie Hohman. The same person who doesn't have rescue backing and adopted out an unvetted kitten who died 3 days after adoption and tested positive for rabies. The same one who also adopted out a leukemia positive kitten to someone with no vetting.

She even missed the education for a feeder who left the kittens in traps on her porch over night and who sprayed them off "lightly" with the hose after they pooped on themselves. But mckenzie was able to take ONE and left the rest behind. What are the odds that kitten will get proper vetting? What are the odds these flea and tick infested kittens will make it after a night of being wet left in their own individual traps?

If you see McKenzie Hohman in Tarentum, PA tell her to do the right thing and bring the kitten to us for proper vetting.

If you want to donate to these kids please do so below. They will need food and supplies ❤️ they've been wormed and vaccinated and cleaned. Tonight they have full bellies a nice warm bed......and each other ❤️

If James bond were a cat………

Many of you have seen Franco. Kind of hard not to. He orchestrates a crowded a room until all eyes fall on him. He loves attention from humans. Tall, dark, handsome, and strong are a few words that come to mind. He is also a super lap cat love bug. He does get along with other cats, and even kids. 007 2.0 😉

It is……… Spa day for the ghetto gremlins!

Just look at Wally! I cant wait to let him out of his cage and see what he does when he is free. He is a mix of apprehension, unsure, and pet me. He reminds me of a teddy bear with high anxiety. He worries about everything. Like he has been let down in his life over and over again and a gentle touch to him is unnatural, or like he is waiting for the other mean shoe to drop. Today is neuter day for him, and after, I am personally going to build his confidence back.

And the other 3, cattens we will assess for socialization after their spay/neuter. I don’t have much to report on them yet, but hoping a cold winter isn’t in store for them! I am hoping they want an indoor soft life.

Also, the kids are really eating us out of house and home. The Avengers! They have been growing and growing and are almost ready for the kitten room! In the meantime, they have depleted our kitten food and all of our milk! Every last golden pouch of milk is gone ☹

Donations are barely coming in right now. We have yet to make our monthly bills let alone cover the spays and neuters we’ve done. I am hoping that our meet and greets pan out this weekend! But we are barely scraping by! Thank you for always being in our corner and rooting for the feline underdogs.

If handsome were a cat……….

Meet Blake. What if I told you no matter how gorgeous or amazing or perfect this picture is, it still doesn’t hold a candle to him in person. He is large for a kitten. Around 7mo old and about 8lbs. His paws match his whiskers’ majestic tones. He is chatty and his meow is more like a roar. Like a smaller shaggy mountain lion laying just pleased with himself.

If you can get passed all of that, you will find a gentle, playful giant who loves everyone and everything. He lives like he has never had a bad day in his life. And he hasn’t. He is the class clown and always striving for attention. But he likes happy thoughts. If you are sad, he has a way of turning that right into your best day instead. He gives hugs and doesn’t accept tears. You might think he reminds you of a cat you once knew. One that touched you in ways another cat could never. And if he isn’t that reminder, he will soon be the reason you remember all over again.

Majestic in every way......Blake is available for adoption!

And then there is this guy…….

We are trapping at a location for two older kittens. Hours nothing showed, and just ready to pack up and call it a night this guy comes out. It was an immediate SNAP! He was hungry. Also angry. That pic shows it all.

A very very large boy for sure is feral. Beyond redemption. The most kind thing we can do for him is neuter him and let him live out his days in peace. He probably thinks he was born to only live in the streets and that humans are unkind. That the fear of them will always have to resonate within him. Those were my thoughts when I saw him.

So feral beyond redemption left to a fate of cold winters and scarce food? I put a video in the comments of how he reacted once out of the trap. Watch that, then come back.

I named him Wally. Apparently he has a story to tell….. we just have to listen.

Who wants to sponsor this guy’s neuter? Currently we are also out of dry kitten food and wet food all around. If you want to help us out, it is greatly appreciated! What a gentle soul he is.
