Sharing this important message!

Attention people who have asked for our trapping assistance for stray cat TNR…

If we have agreed to take on your location and make arrangements a day or two before trapping, we always send instructions to withhold food.

👉👉 If there is food out when we arrive to trap, this is what you are communicating:

“It’s not important to me that these cats get caught and fixed”.

“If they do get fixed, I certainly don’t want to make it easy on the person coming to my home to help”.

Occasionally it is an innocent mistake. We are pretty understanding and do try again in that case. But repeat offenders are on their own. It is super important to respect people’s time - even more so when they get out in 105 degree heat to help you.

Emmy Lou has her fierce face on, but she's actually very sweet and gets along with everyone including dogs, kids, other cats, and whatever else might come her way. She's litter box trained and has been an indoor/outdoor kitten at her foster home. Apply for this playful puss on our website, and check out her sister and brother, Harris and Bensen, while you're there. Two are more fun than one and three are an absolute blast!

Doesn't he look like he's thinking about something serious? Bensen is a 12-week-old scholarly kitten (based solely on his expression) who is litter box trained, dog friendly, good with kids, and just an all-around well-rounded kitty raised by Liz and her crew. Anyone who has adopted from Liz knows that her fosters are very well prepared when they graduate to their forever families. Bensen has been indoor/outdoor in his foster home. He's getting vetted tomorrow and should be ready for adoption by this weekend. He's also got 2 sisters who will be ready for adoption, Emmy Lou and Harris. Look for their pics in a separate post. Apply on our website!

Daisy looking at the kitty in the window! She's a beauty, for sure. Daisy and her sister, May, will be available for adoption in a couple of weeks. They will need to go to an experienced cat person as they're still showing some fearful defensive behavior. They both like petting, and they purr, but they still don't care to have anyone reaching for them. That being said, they've made great progress!

Mia and Molly will be looking for their fresh start in a couple of weeks. These young adult ladies (probably less than a year old) were dumped last week along with a litter of 6 kittens. They're on the right track now with our foster, Erin (and her long-suffering family), and they'll be ready to go to their forever homes after they're vetted on August 4th. Erin says they're very friendly, and as you can see, they're also very pretty kitties! Apply on our website to give either or both of these sweet girls a new beginning with a better outcome.

Looks like Star and Peach won the lottery! Sending a big THANK YOU to Brielle and her family for giving them their best possible forever home, to Jenny and her family for their amazing fostering, and to property owner, Kim, for caring enough to get them into our care. It takes a village, and we're so grateful for ours!

More pics of the river rescue today of the kitty stuck on a rock in the middle of the Mettowee in Granville. It's a mystery how the cat got there, but he was clearly in distress. The earlier video we posted made light of the situation, but we also hope it serves as an example of what to do when you notice any animal in a similar predicament. They do need us to be their guardian angels. So glad this kitty was easily helped, and we are very grateful for this local community of animal advocates who never fail to step in when the situation warrants it.

This little lady was adopted! Sending a big THANK YOU to all who shared her story to help find her a home!
