🚨 Urgent Call to Action! 🚨 Today we need a volunteer to step up and foster a declawed cat from Pleasant Heights. Unfortunately, the owner has been admitted to a nursing home. The cat has never been outside and is reported to be 9 years old. It is a spayed female. OFF will help with vet expenses to make sure the cat is ready for a new home. Please contact us ASAP if you are willing to adopt or at least foster. The apartment must be vacated by the end of the month.

Almost all the dedicated volunteers behind OFF’S Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program have moved away. OFF was formed by Barb Knuth and Peggy Nagy, neither lives in Oxford any longer. The non-profit does have some limited money for vet and food expenses. We are still paying for food for the existing colonies that we have fixed. We inherited these colonies from people that have passed away or went into nursing homes. There is one volunteer that feeds the cats. He is busy trying to get a handle on a large colony left when a husband and wife both went into a nursing home and the cats were left without a caretaker.

If we want this vital nonprofit to continue saving kitty lives, Oxford residents must step up!

Without new volunteers, our community’s stray, abandoned and feral cats will be left without the care they desperately need. Are you ready to make a difference? The non-profit is all set up and we have all equipment you need.

No experience? No problem! We will provide all the guidance you need. Comment below or send us a message to get involved. The future of our Feline Friends depends on us! 🐾💙

Please send us a message if you can help.
Please share!!!

it’s that season where small kittens seem to show up and need bottle feeding. This is good information for the bottle feeders.

Is this a known scam? The link goes outside of Meta. However I keep seeing copyright infringement notices to no longer use Brand names in posts. So difficult to know what is real and isn’t anymore.

We have mentioned this before but it is just something we need to be aware of. Bird flu is very deadly to cats. If they contract it it is deadly in roughly 2/3 of cats. Often in 24 hours of showing sickness. While it is most prevalent in migratory birds, I assume most birds can get it as other animals such as cattle, wildlife like raccoons and who knows what else are getting it. Can’t do much about the feral cats that have to be outside but it might be wise to keep indoor/outdoor cats inside if we start having outbreaks in the immediate area. Now is not the time to be buying the expensive raw meat catfood either. That said have a Happy New Year and give your cats a hug!

Bird flu has been spreading for years in wild birds, chickens, turkeys and many other animals but the death of an Oregon house cat is raising questions about the ongoing outbreak and how people can protect their pets.

Update: This lucky Kitty found an inside forever home yesterday! It’s days of looking inside of homes wanting in is over! Great timing it’s cold and chilly out there. Hope its new home works out well for both.

This tabby is looking for a forever home. It is believed its owners moved and left the cat. We think he was an indoor cat at the beginning. But now he is now living the life of a stray cat. As you can see, he is just begging for a home. Oxford Feline Friends had him neutered, vaccinated, and treated with parasite medicine two weeks ago. This neighborhood has already taken some cats in and can't handle another one. As you can tell he really wants inside and to have a home. He is estimated to be just over one year old. He is a sweet boy that likes attention. He is located in Oxford, but we can arrange transportation to other towns. Send us a message if interested, let's get him into a home before it gets too cold. He will come with a month or two flea/worm topical treatments

Update on the pellet injured cat. It did get picked up from the vet and is at fosters to recover. The pellet fragmented when it hit the skull, a fragment traveled through the sinus', palette, tongue and into the bottom jaw. It probably has a traumatic brain injury and is very disoriented but can walk. It is just dazed and just lies in a corner, not showing any interest in anything but hiding. The other part of the pellet traveled along the skull and was removed near the center of the eyes.

Below is the Xray of the pellet fragments. The line is where the fragments traveled. As you can imagine there is lots of damage. Blood is still draining out of the cats' eyes and nose. There is some worry about hematomas developing that need treatment and it will go back to the vet for x-rays as it heals or don't heal.

So it appears the gun was put against the cat's head. It is some sick individual that needs turned into the police. Today it is a cat, who knows what or who it will be next. Nearly all violent crime perpetrators have a history of animal cruelty. Not only was it very cruel, it's a warning sign.

This wasn't a cat that would cause trouble, very tame and friendly, neutered, and really didn't roam off the block where it lived and found food.

It is eating some but not enough so it will need very high calorie wet food. It is on antibiotics but no special meds at this time. Time will tell if it has permanent brain injury or not.

Donations are very welcome towards its vet care.

We have a report of a gray & white stray cat with 6 babies up by the old hospital. The babies didn't have eyes open yet. Update: I guess they are less than 1 week old.
We are trying to get cats out of the old nursing home and hospital area in preparation of it getting demolished. Asbestos removal is supposed to start very soon, perhaps as soon as Monday. If you see this cat and kittens, please don't disturb but let us know where she moved the babies. We would hate to have them caught in the demolition.

Thanks for sharing everyone. The kitten went to a home today. So glad when everything works out and people take care of the cats in their own neighborhood.

There‘a obviously kittens out there, please reach out to us if you know where the momma to these kittens is! She needs spayed now and we will help!

This kitten needs a home asap. Found in the rain, and no owners have been found. Likely a street or feral offspring kitten. If you would like to foster or adopt it please contact us. We do not take intakes! The finder can’t take into their house due to allergies. Located in Oxford, NE
