St. Louis Feral Cat Outreach

12/11/2025

Our wonderful friends at Full Circle MO Feral created the most fantastic raffle items to raise money to help Carol House Quick Fix Pet Clinic recover from the recent tragedy of a car crashing through their building and damaging all of their vehicles. Carol House is a vital component of our community, fixing so many owned pets and community cats at rates that people can actually afford. This is such a fun way to help them recover.

Early morning Saturday there was a CRAZY accident. no word yet on what caused the driver to be going so fast or to loose control but a vehicle came in hot off south bound Jefferson parallel to the Carol House Quick Fix Pet Clinic building such that the speeding vehicle flipped end over end over all 3 CHQF vehicles annihilating them, took out the awning and punched a hole thru the building!!! All kitties in the building survived and the driver survived, thankfully no one else was injured. CHQF clinic is SO IMPORTANT to the TNR work that St. Louis Feral Cat Outreach does. This is devastating for all of us in the local animal welfare scene. We just looked up our records and we do well over a quarter of our TNR surgeries every year at CHQF. We are compiling 2025 data but in 2024 we had 590 cats fixed there. CHQF is an immeasurably important local resource to help stem to flow of animal overpopulation, offering low-cost wellness services & subsidized spay & neuter surgeries and they are just really nice helpful folks!!! Sure, we guess eventually some kind of insurance may help cover their loses. But you guys know that will take a long time and a lot of paper-pushing. Guessing from the damages those losses may come up against policy-limits as well. Please help them recover from this as quickly as possible. Helping CHQF helps all of us. We lost so many spay/neuter opportunities during that pandemic craziness we are all still trying to catch up. We as a society can not afford to loose more ground preventing more homeless animals. We are confident that even if in a perfect world their insurance covers all of this some time in the future.... that all of our gifts in the here and now will be paid forward in animal welfare ❤

The Carol House Quick Fix Pet Clinic was hit by a speeding car on Saturday morning, leaving a hole in the building. No animals were injured.

THANK YOU!!! To everyone who donated on GivingTuesday!

Thank you to everyone who understands and supports the many. many benefits to TNR.

The "R" of TNR. The Return. It's the best part. It's the first moment the cats arrive back at the home territory where they are comfortable. But their lives are forever changed for the better. No more breeding to possibly watch their kittens suffer and die. Reduced fighting among males. They've also received vaccines, microchip and an eartip. Everything is different. It's why we do what we do.

Here's a release video to share. It can be chaotic. Sometimes car alarms might go off, or a feral cat wants to remind you why they don't live indoors. It's all worth it.

So much appreciation to our community that makes this all possible!!

On this GivingTuesday we would like to share Gini-MO’s story

Sometimes when we are trapping cats for TNR, we come across lost and dumped cats. This past September while trapping for a TNR event, a volunteer trapped a cat that had recently showed up at a colony. The cat was friendly, but very thin, sickly and infested with fleas. The volunteer decided to have their vet examine her first to see if she was healthy enough for surgery. While at the vet, they discovered she was already spayed and microchipped to a rescue in Roanoke, VA back in 2016. The rescue was contacted and the owner information was provided. The owner now lived in Charlotte, NC. The cat had disappeared in 2018, and they wanted the cat back. Her name was Melissa, but because she had been gone so long the owner wanted to rename her Gini-MO. (a combination of where she was born in Virginia and where she was found in Missouri ) A couple of our volunteers worked together to find a way to get the cat back to the family. On November 5th, Gini-MO boarded an airplane at St. Louis Lambert Airport, and made her way home and was reunited with her family after seven long years.

Sometimes the benefits of TNR are obvious…fewer kittens, less fighting, healthier cats. 🥰

And sometimes they are unexpected and astonishing, like being able to reunite a lost pet from 2018 from many states away!

Our volunteers and donors make it possible. You are all amazing! If you make a donation, big or small, every cent goes to the community cats.

This is a huge day for our small but mighty nonprofit. We’re making a plea that if you support TNR, love giving the best life to community cats, or just think there’s too many strays and want less of them- please make a donation. It’s GivingTuesday. This is an annual global generosity movement that takes place the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, encouraging people to give back to their communities 💕

Because of generosity of our donors, St. Louis Feral Cat Outreach is able to fix approximately 2100 cats a year! We can do this as long as funds are available. The TNR surgery means that these cats get spayed or neutered/vaccinated/eartipped and microchipped. Then they are returned to their outdoor home, the only home they know. If we can trap kittens at the right time for taming, we always try to network them to rescue so they can have a comfy life indoors.

Our dedicated volunteers and Board members are all unpaid, we do this work in our spare time. It’s this amazing army of volunteers, dedicated caretakers and OUR DONORS who make it all possible! 100% of every donation goes directly to TNR efforts for the community cats!

Thank you all for your amazing generosity on this very special day of giving. 🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈

Some of the kitties that have been through TNR surgery thanks to St. louis Feral Cat Outreach wanted to remind you that tomorrow is GivingTuesday!!

✅ They are no longer producing countless litters of kittens that struggle to survive outdoors

✅ They are happier and healthier after getting vaccinated

✅ The fighting, injuries and nuisance behavior is a thing of the past

Our supporters make this possible!! We need you now more than ever. We want to continue to educate on all the benefits of TNR and watch the cats thrive (but not multiply) because of it.

Please give during this special event to help the kitties and the community. THANK YOU!

Tomorrow is GivingTuesday
Early giving is in full swing

We can't stress enough how important these fundraising days are for a small nonprofit like us.

We want to help the community. TNR is a way to stabilize and then reduce cat populations.

If you have seen neighborhood improvements after a breeding colony received TNR surgery, if you are a caretaker to a beloved colony of cats, or you just want to help the overcrowding of our local shelters - TNR is a way to do all of this.

Please give what you can. Tell your friends why you support TNR and ask if they might do the same. Every donation, regardless of size, helps our nonprofit and the community cats.

St. Louis Feral Cat Outreach wants to extend gratitude for our amazing army of volunteers. They are true community cat advocates! Helping the kitties that didn’t choose to be born on the streets. Thank you to all the amazing caretakers in our area. Supporting TNR and realizing there are just too many homeless cats! But treating them with compassion and not as pests. A little kindness can go a long way

Here’s what doesn’t work-
Doing nothing. Cats breed insanely fast when not fixed. Trapping and removing them does not work. It will create a vacuum effect and more will move in eventually. Feeding bans definitely don’t work. It does nothing to prevent them reproducing and just makes them harder to catch for sterilization.

TNR TNR TNR

Cats are humanely trapped, fixed, vaccinated, eartipped and returned to their outdoor home. Breeding STOPS and the population is stable. And will decrease over time.

So be kind to the animals and to each other. We believe TNR is kind and compassionate and we hope you do too.
