IMPORTANT!

🐾 A Note on TNR and Raising Feral Kittens 🐾

The photo here shows a small group: a mom with one kitten from her previous litter and her newest litter - all of whom were TNRed. The caretaker would have loved for them to find homes, and not all neighbors were on board with the idea of cats living in their yards.

However, the trapper didn’t have the time or space to commit to taming them, and wisely refused to keep them confined, knowing it wouldn’t be fair to the kittens. The neighbors were educated about TNR and understood that this was their home and by getting them fixed it would stop the numbers from growing. Everybody was fixed and the babies were returned with their mom.

Here they are a few days after their release, they were thriving: tails high, walking tall, lounging in the sun- happy, healthy cats who will never reproduce.

Yes, ideally we’d love to see every kitten tamed, but we also have to accept what we realistically can do. Sometimes, simply getting them fixed and vaccinated is the only way we can help, and that’s okay!

Remember: feral kittens learn survival skills from their mother and environment. If kept inside too long, they may lose these instincts, making release difficult or dangerous. Giving them a fair and reasonable timeline for taming is key. If progress isn’t happening, returning them safely to their outdoor home is not failure- it’s responsible care.

Confining kittens for months and then releasing them is unfair to them. Thoughtful, timely TNR gives kittens the best chance to live safe, healthy lives- even if it isn’t the life we dreamed for them. 🐱💛

Seven sweet kitties were transferred to Seattle Area Feline Rescue today. They will find wonderful adoption opportunities. ❤️. We are so thrilled and grateful for their tremendous help.
One of the cats has been with our rescue since April. These transfers allow us to make space for new intakes.
SAFe rescue is very active in the community. Is a non-profit no kill cat shelter. They also have in house veterinary staff.
Happy days are coming for these fabulous felines. This is the mission.

Did you know you can support our rescue monthly? Monthly donations can make a significant difference in the lives of countless cats in need. By becoming a monthly donor, you help ensure that essential resources like food, medical care, regular treatments, and spay or neuter surgeries are readily available. This consistent support is crucial, especially as we prepare for large Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) projects before the end of 2025. These efforts not only help control the stray cat population but also improve the quality of life for both the cats and the community. Just $5 a month can make you an integral part of this mission, helping to accommodate unexpected kittens and friendly cats who need care. Consider visiting to learn more about how you can contribute.

Do you know of anyone that likes to sew? AND would like to donate their time making trap covers?
When we trap cats, placing a cover on the trap, calms the cat and lessens injuries when they try to escape. These are essential to our rescue.
Our rescue specializes in TNR, trap, neuter, & return, and trap covers are used frequently. We love making our covers from donated sheets but we have no time to sew them.😕
Nothing fancy is needed. But they need hems to ensure the covers don't fray in the wash. We have sheets (and could get lots more donated).
Here's an example of what they should look like.
We are digging deep and continuing to TNR thru the holidays; one of our TNR projects is the day before Thanksgiving! 🦃
Then we gave another spay transport on Saturday after Thanksgiving and so on.
Please share, you never know who may want to help.
Thanks and let's go save some cats.

Fosters are the real lifesavers.❤️
They make sacrifices with their time and care. These moments are so worthwhile. Little breakthroughs.
Their love for their fosters is real.
I am grateful beyond words for every one of them. ❤️
Yes, it is difficult to let them go to adoption opportunities but their willingness to let them go allows other kittens who need help to have a place to go.
Together we help MORE cats and kittens.
