What to do for those bold critters that continually eat your cat food outside.

Feeding outdoor cats doesn’t mean you also have to feed raccoons, possums, skunks and other critters. Raccoons can climb very well and are able to jump in a straight line from one point to another. However, due to their weight distribution, it is almost impossible for them to jump straight up or a...

Why is TNR is important? I just finished a small colony. 2 girls 2 boys. Easy right? There were also 10 kittens. And both females were pregnant with 11 total potential kittens. 4 cats became 14 and about to be 25 in 1 season. Next year there would have been 7 litters (potentially 30+ kittens) in the early spring and goodness knows how many litters in the fall. This isn’t just a story. This is a colony Tip Me Frederick just finished. Thank you for helping us help the cats 🐈 🐈‍⬛ 🐈

Our Story

Our story starts outside with a mamma cat and 3 tiny kittens. It was late summer and we wondered how they’d make it through the winter. Before long, mamma died by putting her head in a jar to find food. It was a tragic and heartbreaking fate as she couldn’t get out and she couldn’t get air. We were left with 3 babies to feed and get through the winter.

Having 4 indoor kitties already, and FeLV in the house, we had to leave these babies outside. So feeding began. Once there was regular food, we noticed a few more cats coming around to eat.....and breed. By the following winter we had 30 cats to feed. I knew it was time to do something. I started looking for affordable vet services.

As many of you know, there is not much available in our county. However, I did find QuickFix through the Frederick County Humane Society and some low cost options through Animal Welfare League of Frederick County. Even though I found discounted services, I still needed to find the money to pay them, and 30 cats was thousands of dollars. I asked all my friends and family and was able to get my 30 cats neutered several months later.

Tip Me Frederick grew out of this experience because people need a truly low cost, or free, program to get these outdoor cats altered. They breed exceptionally fast, and are very resourceful. They are unowned, and many people have their own pets to care for, so these community kitties take a back seat. Left to their own devices, they will keep breeding till the area is saturated with cats. Then resources are used up and these cats suffer from hunger and illness.
