Hello from Parker, Preston and Prue. Preston and Prue are doing so good. They are just waiting for their forever home. Parker still needs some loving and socializing so he'll be with me for a little bit yet

Sweet Little Ophelia had a birthday and she decided that she would collect money in lieu of gifts. That money ($125) has just been donated to CARMA in honor of her CARMA Antigonish kitty Kwazii (formerly Tig). It is to be used to help more kitties like Tig to find homes.

Well, that just made my heart grow three sizes!! What a wonderful selfless gift.

We wish Ophelia, Tig and their family a wonderful Holiday!

We had two appointments left today so we used them to get Macee, Gargamel and Smurfette spayed and neutered. We NEVER waste appointments if we don't have to.

We are also working on applications today. We did get behind as we were focusing on TNR and our volunteers are also very busy getting ready for Christmas.

Please remember if you have pets, to be vigil during the Holiday season and pet proof your home. Make sure all your plants are safe for pets, that you don't use tinsel or ribbon or any sort of decoration that could be ingested and cause a blockage or that could poison your pet. Be careful leaving treats/food unattended or out in the open, tie up that tree, keep breakables safely in their boxes and have a safe and Vet visit free Holiday. Believe me, the vets will appreciate it as well as they would much rather be spending time with their families than operating on your pet.

The CARMA Uber shipped out this morning heading to Abercrombie Animal Hospital with 12 kittens for vaccination.

Prue, Preston and Maximus will get their booster vaccination while Rudolph, Clarice, Donner, Little O, Little Buff, Skye, Sage, Felix and Dex will get their first vaccination.

While this is being done, a Mother cat and her kitten will be having their surgery in Antigonish and heading back to their nice warm barn this evening.....and it is warm. I was there and I am pleased with the home she and her three kittens have.

We will also be taking a Mom and Dad (who weighed 14.1 pounds and had the biggest head and testicles ...oh my) back to their stomping grounds today. Still two kittens to catch so wish us luck.

Tomorrow is the end of TNR for 2024. It has been a busy but productive year!

We are so grateful for all the Christmas donations coming in. With the tens of thousands of $$ of TNR we have done this year it will definitely come in handy.

Every donation, no matter how big or how small, makes the difference in the life of a feral cat or kitten. Going back into colonies we have TNR'ed makes me smile. The cats are healthier and happier.

Thank you for helping us make the difference.

Today Kelly, myself along with Clarice, Donner and Rudolph went to Pet Valu to see Len! As you can see Clarice is not a fan of the camera😂

We want to take a moment to thank Len and his amazing team at Pet Value for their constant and continued support over the years. I left with more donations from supporters too! Thank you!

If you are looking for something special for your kitties or dogs all Christmas things are 25% off and they have a sale on treats too until the 18th.

When out trapping, you never know what you may find. Well, this guy had a tail injury and he needed an amputation.

With an amputation comes some shaving.

This dude cannot just be put back in his colony to risk some frost bite so we reached out to our friends at Dorothy's Cat Sanctuary and they have agreed to take him in until his fur comes back in on his hind end and he is healed. Then he can go back and reign over his colony again. He will have to be tested tomorrow to make sure he doesn't have any viruses prior to his placement.

Rescue is so much easier when groups cooperate and we have a great relationship with Donna and the volunteers at Dorothy's Cat Sanctuary.
