EDIT: ITS COVERED! 🩷🩷🩷🩷
Angels DO EXIST!!

I know someone who’s really struggling right now — between medical bills and car repairs, money is gone. She’s a hardworking single person, and now her cat has an abscess and needs dental care. 😢

Are there any grants, funds, or programs that help with vet bills in situations like this?

She doesn’t qualify for Care Credit or financing, and the vet won’t allow payment plans. She just needs a little help in case the cost is overwhelming.

If you know of any resources, please message me. Thank you so much! ❤️

I’m so excited about this!

ORAL FLEA AND TICK MEDICINE!!

I don’t know what took us so long to get these and use them—. I just treated three of my ferals who I’ve never been able to touch, and they’ve never had any flea or tick treatment since they were first trapped years ago. Can’t wait to see how it works!

👉 Pro tip: if you use these, make sure the cats are fed separately so each one gets their own tablet. Perfect for those untouchable kitties people always ask how to help. 🐾

Wondering why your outdoor cat isn’t using the shelter you set up? Try these suggestions to make it more appealing:

🐾 Choose a smart location. Set the shelter where your cats already hang out. Feral cats prefer quiet, SECLUDED spots AWAY from people, so consider areas with natural cover like bushes, fences, or under porches. Feral cats prefer NOT to be seen going in and out of their shelters.
🐾 Protect from weather. Position the entrance to face away from wind, rain, or snow—south-facing often works best for this. We prefer to place plywood over a few shelters that are grouped together, with the entrances facing each other. This creates an area free from rain, snow and keeps the entrances dry.
🐾 Use STRAW as bedding, NOT hay. Half-fill the shelter with straw, which cats love for its warmth and comfort. Avoid materials like blankets that can get damp. Blankets actually pull the warmth from the cats body in the cold.
🐾 Be patient. Some cats, especially ferals, need weeks to feel safe in a new shelter, so give them time to adjust.
🐾 Keep it stable. Place the shelter on a flat, steady surface. A wobbly shelter can spook cats and keep them away.
🐾 Hold off on door flaps. While flaps help with insulation, add them only after your cat is comfortable going in and out.
🐾 Don’t put food near shelters. Cats instinctually avoid sleeping near food, as it can draw predators or other animals to the area.
🐾 Check for other hideouts. Your cats might already have a cozy spot, like a shed or crawlspace, that they prefer over the new shelter. Consider placing a shelter or two inside a shed or your barn to keep them extra warm.
🐾 Move it if necessary. If the shelter goes unused after a few weeks, try relocating it to a spot where your cats feel more secure. Try finding a location that is hidden from view. 

A heartfelt thank you to all who build shelters for feral cats! Your care and effort provide crucial protection from the elements, helping these cats stay safe and warm through the colder months. ❤️
