TNR
You might have noticed that we have taken care of more cats than any other animal in our brief history. The reason is simple - cats seem to need the most help!
We believe that cats should be indoor family members. Unfortunately a lot of cats and kittens get released into the wild and litters are born to wild parents. Often the cats form a community living on the fringes of the human population called a "feral colony". We've recently become aware of a small feral colony practically in our own back yard!
Since many feral cats are too wild to ever live in a loving home a good alternative is to have the individuals in the colony altered to prevent them from producing kittens. The process, called Trap-Neuter-Release or TNR, is a responsible and ethical way to manage and reduce feral cat populations. We are beginning the TNR process with our local colony. Wish us luck!

1: Limbo-Cat
Here is the first lovely lady of our feral colony. She is very frightened but not at all bitey! If she comes out of her shell at all in the next 24 hours we might actually have someone willing to adopt and work with her. If not, we'll get her spayed and return her to her life of hunting and freedom.
This little girl earned the name Limbo-Cat after escaping her trap and living for almost TWO WEEKS in my basement ceiling before I could catch her. I thought, after all that, maybe she'd just like to give up and become a house cat but she still wanted to be free. A spay and ear-tipping later, Limbo-Cat got her wish to go free. See the video below of her liberation!
