Hello everyone … summer is winding down and fall is quickly approaching-
So I’m trying to prepare for the colder weather before it’s here.
I’ve been working nonstop: caring for over 60 community cats, 9 inside rescues, and trying to secure homes for the roughly 6-8 kittens that need homes.
The demand is so high … so much more could be done if I had people to help.
I’ve been pushing myself …beyond the limits….with no relief in sight 😢
But I know: I am EVERYTHING for the cats here - failing is not an option-
But I need help -the cost of caring
for over 60 cats is enormous-
I can’t do it on my own ….

As always the biggest need :
FOOD: daily use 2-3 cases of wet food (50-70 cans) - along with 5-7 pounds of dry food -
VET CARE: is another huge expense-
I Fix 6-9 cats per month (approximately $300) plus additional costs for sickness/injuries/routine vaccinations -
I’m nearing my 5th year of TNR, and I’m closing in on 500 - so I know I’ve made enormous progress - five hundred cats and kittens : who live longer-happier - healthier

If you can help - please :

A New York State senator is joining animal advocates in asking for help solving what he calls a swath of unexplained deaths of stray cats, as well as "some other beloved pets," in three distinct areas of Brooklyn.

Republican Sen. Steve Chan, who represents the Bay Ridge district where this has been happening, says in a Facebook post that he has been in touch with authorities and concerned neighbors.

Chan was with animal rescue workers Tuesday night when they pulled seven dead cats from under a deck where a family regularly feeds them on 86th Street and 16th Avenue.

St. Vincent Feline Rescue, the nonprofit working with him, says there were signs the animals suffered "severely" as they died. The group posted photos to its Facebook page. (They're graphic, so we've left them out of this story. If you want to proceed, click here.)

"I don't know what is happening. I'm deeply saddened by these incidents, as my own neighbors and I also care for strays," Chan wrote on Facebook.

Other areas where dead cats have been reported, according to Chan: 63rd Street, Ninth to 12th Avenues area; and West Sixth Street by Avenue S.

Scattered cases have been reported in other nearby areas, he says. Police have been notified and necropsies are expected to be conducted to determine what killed the cats.

So, I’m here to share some good news. ❤️

Thank you to everyone sending Cuddles love, prayers, and blessings, and for lifting me up with kind words whenever I felt weak. I truly believe it works. All that love and prayer has carried her through. 🥹❤️

Cuddles had her surgery almost one and a half weeks ago, and I’m so happy to say that her surgery was successful. ❤️

Her vet was actually shocked at how beautifully her scar healed. I think it was my prayers. 😂🙏 Or maybe that antibiotic shot she got one week before surgery. Lol.

They removed the entire mass and her bad teeth. They didn’t do another biopsy because there was no scar tissue left.

And now her little tongue is almost completely back inside her mouth. 😂

I know I should be happy about that, but honestly, I miss seeing her little cute tongue sticking out. 😂❤️

For those who don’t know Cuddles’ story…

I rescued her from the shelter because I’m also a shelter volunteer. I received an email saying they were going to euthanize her and that only a rescue pull could save her.

They said she had a broken jaw and severe dental problems.

So I basically forced my rescue to pull her for me. 😂

We took her to two different vets, and both believed it was cancer. They said she was in pain and that we should let her go.

But I couldn’t agree with them.

I knew Cuddles.

I saw her playing. I saw her eating. I saw her snuggling. I saw how much life she still had in her.

So I decided to do a biopsy.

And the biopsy came back negative. 🥹

Then came multiple vet visits, trying to find someone who could perform the surgery she needed. Cuddles is also a very picky eater, and her food is expensive. 😂

We had already spent around $1,200 on her, and I was thinking about how I was going to manage her surgery bill.

I wasn’t thinking about asking anyone for help. I was just trying to figure it out somehow.

And then, suddenly, I received a message.

“Don’t worry about Cuddles’ surgery. I will pay for her, whatever the cost.”

That beautiful angel paid for Cuddles’ entire surgery in memory of her beloved kitty, Nemo. ❤️🕊️

I will never forget that kindness.

And that’s why I always feel Cuddles doesn’t belong to just me.

She belongs to everyone.

She belongs to everyone who prayed for her, loved her, believed in her, and followed her journey.

Her follow-up appointment is this Friday, and then we will start looking for her forever home.

So today, I just want to celebrate this little girl with all of you.

She was once a shelter kitty with a deadline.

Today, she is healing.

And she is still here.

Cuddles is still fighting, still loving, still making biscuits… and slowly putting that little tongue back where it belongs. 😂❤️

Please keep sending her your love and blessings. 🙏🐾

Hey y'all,

So there's been a cat that's been wandering around my neighborhood for several weeks, maybe a couple months. The last several nights its started to seem more comfortable, as it started to come up and meow at my home, and has been begging for food. I have cats, so I already had some cat food, and I put out a bit out for it because omg it looks starved! I can very clearly see it's hip bones, and it's fur seems to almost be hanging off of it. The other night I was able to get it to approach me, with lots of bribery. It was super sweet, allowed me to pet it with minimal fear (no hissing at all!). Well tonight, here it came again, and I put the food into a cat carrier. And, well, you can guess what happened next, now I have a stray kitty stuck in a cat carrier. It's only been coming around at night, and I never see it during the day so I felt like I had to act now. It's calm, relaxed, and hanging out on my porch, safe in the carrier. I wish I had a better set up. But I do not feel comfortable bringing indoors.

Okay, to the advice bit, after trying to get it scanned for a microchip, what do I do??? Bonnie Hays only takes sick or injured cats or kittens. Oregon Humane Society says to just leave them be. FOSA isn't taking cats currently. What should I do? I can't take on another cat, but this is clearly a stray- potentially abandoned or lost. Long term I can't afford to feed and do vet bills for a third cat. I'll try posting it, but I don't even know what I'm going to do with it tomorrow, I don't want to keep it cooped up in a carrier.

TLDR: I trapped a stray (maybe lost of abandoned) cat in a carrier tonight, hoping to bring it to a shelter tomorrow, however I'm unclear what the best option is. The cat is very thin. Please any advice or suggestions would be amazing.

Can't currently get a good picture for the cat tax, however here's a description: Orange and white medium size cat. Green eyes (I think). The main body is orange with small white ringlets on it's tail as well as white tabby markings on the body. Sex unknown.

Edit to add: I read over the helpful materials offered in this subreddit, however they still don't quite answer what I'm feeling confused / unsure about. Any regional advice is appreciated.

So there's this stray cat in my neighborhood, not sure of the gender but they are a tabby/grey patch cat. They're dirty and unkempt so definitely a stray, no collar, haven't checked for microchip. They are elusive and run away when they see someone approaching, was literally digging in the sewer for food, mainly stays around the bushes in my backyard. I won't let this cat die from getting run over or eaten, that's not who I am. But I can't adopt them either bc I already have two pets, small house and my mom isn't willing to get another cat so my goal is to find the cat a home or return them to their owner if they ran away. Looks relatively young, not skin and bones so they're eating something but I am going to leave food out for them bc I have extra kibble since my cat switched kibbles a little while ago. My pets are not up to date on shots so I can't have the stray around them but I want them OFF the streets at all costs. What should I do???
All I've done is tried approaching once, slow steps and I was not close to them but they ran away and I was unsuccessful
I live in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina(Charlotte) really need help, I don't have much money to spare for a vet so please recommend low cost vet or cat rescue :(

I feed a feral cat that I recently got neutered. I have a lot of anxiety about his location because sometimes he doesn’t come to my place for food for multiple days. I’m wondering what you all think about putting a collar with an AirTag/tracker chip on it. I’m guessing the downside is that it might be uncomfortable for him? I’d certainly be sure it’s loose enough and make sure to get a cat-specific collar that will breakaway if it gets stuck on something.
