Forgotten Felines of Forsyth

02/16/2026

After getting snowed out in January, we were finally able to have our first clinic of the year this weekend! We had a good mix of males and females who came in to be spayed and neutered before breeding season begins. In this photo you see some of the boys being monitored after their surgery. The wet spots you see are where a topical flea medication is applied to help protect these guys as the weather starts to warm up.

For years we’ve been able to use Frontline spray, but the manufacturer is no longer producing this spray, so we’re going to be looking for a new topical flea treatment to use. If any of our feral cat caretaker friends have suggestions on cost effective safe options, we’d love to hear in the comments!

One of our supporters donated an XL collapsible cat carrier, new in the box. It’s too large to go in our consignment booth. Send us a message if you’re interested for a $25 donation- pick up in Kernersville.

We had a successful clinic today where we saw 39 feral and community cats! Thanks to our vets, our volunteers, and our supporters for keeping our vision alive and allowing us to continue this life saving work month after month.

Our volunteers have been out today trapping ferals for tomorrow’s spay and neuter clinic. Some of them also put together winter cat houses that were kindly donated to us by Fur-Ever Friends of NC. By putting them out now, the cats can also use them for shelter from all the rain we’ve been having!

When Dexter first came to our clinic, he’d been left behind at a trailer when his caretaker was evicted. When our volunteer first saw him, their heart broke. All four of his paws were swollen so badly that his toes were turning to the side and his feet would bleed when he walked. Our trapper didn’t have to work very hard to get him into a trap, as this guy was ready for help. He came to our clinic where he was neutered and our vet was able to prescribe medication for his pillow feet if he could be fostered. Our volunteer willingly agreed and spent the next 3 months medicating him and managing his wounds. Once his feet finally healed up, and it was time to start looking for a home for Dexter, he suddenly got very sick and we weren’t sure if he would make it through the night. Our volunteer got him to the vet the next morning where he was diagnosed with diabetis. He started treatment on a new medication and after 3 months, the medication had allowed his pancreas to heal and he was declared in remission from the diabetis. Once again ready to start looking for a home, Dexter started showing more signs of illness. He was sneezing blood and congested. These symptoms didn’t resolve with medication and it turned out he had lesions and infection throughout his teeth and gums. This week he went in for a full mouth extraction. All of these medical visits would not have been possible without volunteers willing to step in to help community cats in need. Dexter’s combined vetting has cost around $3,500- most of which our volunteer paid out of pocket since our program is primarily spay and neuter. This fundraiser is to raise money toward Dexter’s recent dental. We’re so thankful to have a hand in providing a better quality of life for this guy.

We are fortunate to have a supportive veterinary staff who will spay and neuter feral cats at our clinics as young as 3 months. This is to ensure they are also old enough to receive a rabies vaccine and distemper vaccines so that they are in the best condition to thrive in their colonies. While we would love for kittens to always get to rescues and find indoor homes, sometimes it’s not possible before the key socialization window closes, and it’s important to sterilize kittens who can get pregnant as early as 4 months old.

Happy New Years Eve! What better way to say goodbye to 2024 than to help us say goodbye to some tomcats’ trouble puffs through neuter surgery! 🥜

We’re so thankful for the outpouring of support we’ve received this year. We’d like to wrap up 2024 and kick off 2025 with a goal to raise $2,500 - your support helps us spay and neuter feral and community cats in Forsyth and surrounding counties. TNR improves the lives of the fixed cat, improves the lives of the communities where these cats live by helping to prevent overpopulation and disease, and prevents kittens from suffering. Whether you’re able to donate $2.50, $25, $250 or a denomination that doesn’t have 25 in it, we appreciate your support! Let’s start 2025 out strong. Help us raise 25 for 25!
