We just checked on Lane and found him eating. He came out, meowed a couple of hellos, and then returned to his heating pad to rest as we were leaving.

Continue fighting, Lane!!

Warning: This post contains distressing content!

A cat, frequently shared on Facebook (wanting inside homes) by residents of Olney over the past week, was finally located today. The encounter was heart-wrenching, particularly considering the extreme heat he endured daily. Upon transporting him to our quarantined area, administering five baths, and conducting a thorough examination, a large open wound infested with maggots was discovered. Maggots were also present in every bodily or***ce, including his eyes and mouth. His body was cold to the touch, prompting immediate administration of medication and fluids to combat severe dehydration. We urge you to offer silent prayers for his recovery. Despite his ordeal, he demonstrates a strong will to live. A further update will be provided in due course, hopefully with miraculous news..... stay tuned!

August 16th, 2025, marks International Homeless Animals Day, a poignant reminder of the pressing need to speak out on behalf of voiceless animals. The lives of numerous animals are at risk, contingent upon our support. We urge you to contribute in any way possible: donate, foster, educate, spay/neuter, volunteer, and, importantly, adopt rather than shop. If we fail to be their voice, who will? These sentient beings possess feelings and emotions and need our help now more than ever. Please make today the day you make a difference.

We will be closing at 1:30 today, Saturday August 16th. Sorry, for any inconvenience.

From the moment the cat is trapped until you release, the trap needs to remain covered ‼️

It's crucial to cover the trap immediately after a cat is caught. Covering the trap completely with a towel, blanket, or a trap-specific cover helps calm the cat and prevents injury from thrashing. This practice is a key part of the TNR process to ensure the cat's safety and well-being.

🐈‍⬛ Reduces Stress 🐈‍⬛
Cats can become very stressed when trapped. Covering the trap creates a sense of security and can significantly reduce their panic.

🐈‍⬛ Prevents Injury 🐈‍⬛
A panicked cat might thrash around inside the trap, potentially injuring themselves. Covering the trap minimizes this risk.

🐈‍⬛ Aids in Transport 🐈‍⬛
A covered trap makes it easier and safer to transport the cat to the clinic for surgery.

🐈‍⬛ Improves Success 🐈‍⬛
Some cats are more likely to enter a covered trap than an uncovered one.

🐈‍⬛ Maintains Calm 🐈‍⬛
Keeping the trap covered throughout the TNR process, including during transport and at the clinic, helps maintain the cat's calm.

✅ Keep a large towel, blanket, or a trap-specific cover readily available.
✅ As soon as the cat is trapped, completely cover the trap.
✅ The cover should be loose enough to allow for airflow but opaque enough to block visibility.

Thank you for spaying and neutering!
