Just wanted to thank everyone who has sent items from our wish list!
Our wish list is ever changing and expanding as we take on new fosters and additional colonies. Today we spayed Edie and Maxine who are part of a new colony. These once shy girls where given a chance at much safer life because the awesome Amy Bathurst Francis offered to foster them! These siblings would love to score a home together and are ready for adoption once healed from spay.
The ever amazing Sheryl Miller of Pottstown Paws took on the project of TNR of this new colony all by herself and she advocated for a safer location where they are allowed to be fed and have warm shelters placed as we approach the winter months! We are grateful to each person involved in this project. From feeders, shelter builders and more! The six kittens also rescued from this colony are rapidly growing and grateful for the food that arrived today as well. They will receive their second round of vaccinations at PAWS - Pottstown Animal Wellness Services at the end of the week.
We also have some temporary guests in our care. Morgan and Coal came into work today for TNR services however they were under three pounds and definitely underweight for their age. Luckily they were able to receive care without sedation through slow, gentle handling. They got dewormed, tested negative, flea treatment as well as their first vaccine. Hopefully in three weeks they will be in better condition for spay and neuter. If they had a potential foster there is a chance these littles could come around and not have to be returned to the hard life… fostering truly makes a difference in little lives like this! Thanks Deb Penrod for always advocating for spay and neuter of community cats!

Do we have anyone with skills willing to make two of these feral cat feeding stations for us?! Our new colony is in the process of being moving a colony to a safer location where they will have shelter and we are allowed to feed but there is no cover for the food! These are needed as quickly as possible?! I will pay for any materials needed just let me know costs. Can you help us?! 🐈‍⬛ 🙏 🐈 Sheryl Miller Pottstown Paws

We are currently providing food assistance to approximately 50 community cats between Berks and Montgomery county not to mention the overwhelming number of fosters we have for a small rescue. We are so grateful when our wish list boxes arrive and help us feed our community cats and stock our foster homes up with supplies! FOOD IS FUEL for warmth for our community cats during the colder months!

🚨 **𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗜𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡, 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗣𝗧𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗙𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗦?** 🚨

We all saw the attention and public outrage surrounding the Home Depot cat colony situation. Is Supportive Concepts going to be the next organization making headlines over its treatment of defenseless community cats?

𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗚𝗨𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚.

A man paid by Supportive Concepts was reportedly seen 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗜𝗧 𝗗𝗢𝗪𝗡 𝗔 𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗟, destroying housing that had been provided for a colony of outdoor cats.

And here's the kicker...

𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙎𝙃𝙀𝙇𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙒𝘼𝙎𝙉'𝙏 𝙀𝙑𝙀𝙉 𝙊𝙉 𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙄𝙍 𝙋𝙍𝙊𝙋𝙀𝙍𝙏𝙔! It was located on the OTHER side of the guardrail!

These cats weren't bothering anyone. They weren't hurting anyone. They were simply trying to survive, and someone had taken the time, effort, and money to provide them with shelter.

Now that shelter is gone, leaving these cats without the protection they had come to rely on.

But what makes this situation especially disturbing is WHO is associated with this location.

𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘃𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹𝘀, 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀.

Their own organizational values include 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡, 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗚𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗬, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗬.

Let that sink in.

They already threaten the employees that if they are caught feeding the cats, they will lose their jobs. They preach compassion and empathy but will cause an employee to lose their source of income if they act on those values.

Is this what they teach their clients? To be hateful? To not live by compassion in all things?

An organization built around caring for vulnerable individuals is now facing questions about the destruction of shelter belonging to vulnerable animals.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲.

These cats didn't choose to be homeless. They didn't choose to live outdoors. They depend on compassionate people to help them survive, especially as colder weather approaches.

If there was a concern about the shelters, why not have a conversation with the caretaker? Why not reach out to a rescue? Why was destroying the cats' housing considered an acceptable solution?

𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀. And we are not going to stop until we get them!

We want to know who authorized this, why it happened, and what steps will be taken to ensure that the cats' shelters are respected and this doesn't happen again.

We aren't asking anyone to love cats.

𝗪𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴.

🐾 Cats deserve 𝙎𝘼𝙁𝙀𝙏𝙔, 𝙉𝙊𝙏 𝙎𝙐𝙁𝙁𝙀𝙍𝙄𝙉𝙂.

Please share. These cats cannot speak for themselves, but WE CAN.

We are truly fortunate that this colony was able to be trapped all in one weekend to prevent the colony from growing with any additional kittens being born!
Sometimes all it takes is one concerned person to reach out and ask for help! It took me awhile… I am just one person. But with the home owner’s help… a first time trapper we made it happen! I can not tell you how amazing it is when someone steps up to assist in the trapping process. It’s not simply trapping. It’s the transport, the gas, mileage, laundry, crate and trap cleaning. So when someone takes an active role in assisting with a colony we get it done in a weekend! 5 cats trapped, one was ear tipped and released. Two were fixed at my favorite clinic, Fairchild "Feral Friends" Foundation and the other two were fixed thanks to PAWS - Pottstown Animal Wellness Services. They will return to their colony tomorrow and I will be placing some additional warm shelters on the property as well as leaving canned food to get them plump for the winter months ❣️

Our Opportunity house litter made the newspaper! Working hard to shed light on the need for everyone to work together for the common goal of decreasing pet overpopulation through TNR work!
