Little Cats Lost (Trap-Neuter-Return) Society

After witnessing the explosive population of cats and kittens in the southeast industrial section of Edmonton over 10 years ago we had a vision.
(42)

As well as TNR to lower community cat population we also have a successful adoption program where cats at risk because of unsocial behavior are Rescued, Rehab'ed & Rehomed What if we spayed and neutered as many cats as possible in the 27 colonies we had come across to reduce the birth of kittens and consequently the number of cats overall. It seemed like an impossible endeavour but we decided to p

ioneer this thing called “Trap-Neuter-Return”. We educated ourselves on the subject, raised money and set about fixing so many feral cats it would make your head spin. During that year, we eventually fixed close to 300 community then known as feral cats. We faced adversities and criticism along the way but we pressed on. Today, to the best knowledge of our caregivers there are 5 colonies and less than 10 cats living a feral lifestyle in that particular area. Of course management of the area has continued over the years and other colonies in other parts of the city have been helped. When first TNR’ing a location it has its fair share of feral kittens so we found ourselves having to provide for them within our rescue, hence the Rescue, Rehabilitation, Rehome progams came to be. Today, the three R’s of 10 years ago have grown to mean so much more than when we started. RESCUE: We tend to take the cats and kittens that others turn away from. Socially and medically challenged mainly, many of which are awaiting euthanasia in other facilities. The list includes, but not limited to pregnant community cats, neonates, strays, injured and distressed, senior aged cats. Basically we will try to help any who have been turned down by mainstream shelters. REHABILITATE: We employ the use of time, patience, play and a sense of calm to help these cats that have no human social connection. For those needing medical intervention we provide the veterinary care. Neonates are bottle fed and don’t only grow with their siblings but are adopted as pairs to ensure they continue to grow to be the best companion pets they can be. Our programs take a lot of time and that time in care increases our financial costs way more than the TNR group we were of yesterday. RE-HOME: Our most bittersweet part of rescue. We currently have 6 Pet Valu adoption partner stores. Due to the social nature of most of our cats and kittens on intake, our Step 1 and Step 2 foster homes become very emotionally invested. LCL understands their need to know their “babies” are going to the best possible homes so we are very cognizant of including them through the process. Our organization adopts on “fit” therefore, the animal being applied for has to fit the environment it would potentially go into. Our process moves from written application, phone conversation, virtual family meet, and finally in family meet and greet. It may seem quite a daunting process as an applicant, but we try to keep it as light and positive as possible all the while making sure our little stars will feel right at home when they go. We also have other programs within our rescue one of course is our Rodent Wranglers which is basically our barn/shop placements. It is specifically designed for the cats that fit best in a more independent lifestyle. They remain socially challenged even after our best efforts. Sharing is Caring is our other. It is an 11th hour reprieve. Cats and kittens going through this program are usually facing immediate euthanasia for a treatable medical condition due to families being financially challenged. Most calls come in to us from the emergency veterinary clinics. When possible most cats are moved to our partnering vet clinic who provides the necessary treatment to us at a rescue discount. Providing we feel the home is where the cat should be we gladly return him/her to the family. So there you have it. LCL in a nutshell. A TNR group and so much more!

Where There’Where there’s A Will There’s A Way Sunday.

Our respected warrior is Erin McDonald. Over 2 months ago Erin accepted a daunting challenge in an effort to literally save the life of one of the most grody, sickly, depressed little Persian cats I’ve seen.

You see, from his nose to his tail he was covered with generalized ringworm. Yes, ringworm, one of the most tenacious fungal infections to attack.

His nose was but a little black dot smushed against his face, his toes sore and itchy that they were tender to walk on, and his beautiful eyes were so squinted you couldn’t even see their brilliant colours.

As Erin worked her magic, it was like unwrapping a present. His nose became pink, his toes and paws became tolerable for him to walk, his hypnotic eyes opened to the size of pizza pies, and he also revealed himself to be the most sweetest, loveable, charismatic little dude you could have the pleasure of meeting.

Ziggy’s fight however is still ongoing. His ringworm is tenacious and lime dips, cream and medicine are still the order of the day.

We just want to say thanks Erin for what you are doing to save Ziggy and for recognizing Where There’s A Will There’s A Way for animals like him.

Cost for Ziggy’s medication, vet visits and PPE for Erin is ongoing. at this time. If you would like to contribute to our program to help Ziggy please e-transfer to [email protected]. Please add in notes “Ziggy”. Any funds will be collected by our trusted volunteer Simone. Thank you.

Erin McDonald

Another kitty in our Where There’s A Will, There’s A Way Program.

If asked to describe how happy this little boy is, I’d say he lives in his own sunshine world, where there are no bad days.

He is a courageous, small in stature, young boy of 11 months old. He was newly diagnosed with spina bifida, which affects his lower back and rear legs.

Skipper was brought into care with his littermates at a young age, with what we call swimmers. (Their back legs have the appearance of swimming frogs). As his siblings grew in strength and improved, Skipper did not maintain their pace, and it became clear he would have some lasting physical differences.

Nevertheless, he always charged forward with a spirit that was full of positive energy. He’s overcome his own challenges in his own way. His little twisted leg to him is as perfect as it needs to be. You’ll find him climbing cat trees, giving his foster momma mini panic attacks as he tackles the course like a super ninja.
Not only is this boy an inspiration, he loves to love and to be loved, and any physical limitations are veiled as he puts his best paw forward.

He would do well with a young cat friend that has a soft and kind temperament. This boy is brave, kind and trusting and did we say loving? Therefore friends, it is a must that we find him a home that will never fail him. For this boy…Where’s There’s A Will, There’s A Way.

NEW!! Where There’s A Will There’s A Way Program.

When funds are tight and there are hundreds of healthy of cats vying for rescue space, there are without a doubt many cats and kittens who, for a myriad of reasons, are even more disadvantaged. Their only salvation in many cases is to get help from an animal rescue.

This is Kiki. At just over 20 years old her life is like a jigsaw, some pieces we can fit together, but others elude us as to how they complete her picture. How many homes, how many people has she graced over her years? What is her life story, what are their stories?

In her golden years, Kiki found herself in our Animal Care and Control Centre. Gone are the people that shared her life till now, gone is a home where she could feel safe and content as she retires to grow her angel wings.

Although Kiki in a shelter situation has aged out on paper, and though she struggles somewhat with her aging kidneys, she still has a quality of life and masses of love to give.

When there is no space or a budget to help kitties like these we need to dig deep and fight for them more than ever.

Where There’s A Will There’s A Way is a Pilot Program to save these little cast offs. Our goal is to try find the fosters, homes, donors, sponsors, and affordable resources that fits the kitty moving forward.

As for Kiki, her days are now filled with contentment. Thanks to the Coyne family and their current pets for supporting the “Where There’s A Will There’s A Way” mantra to help save her. Their home is now set up to make sure her final place in life and family will be everything she could wish for till the end of time.

Mama July & Her Seven Days joined The LCL Family Wednesday. A beautiful, soft & scared mama & her 7 scared baby boys ranging in weights 760 down to 400 grams have started their journey towards a new life of love & safety. This is July’s last time as a mom. Follow their journey through rehab & watch as they blossom.❤️

These are only 10 kitties from the 19 Kits & Counting from a rural area. 2 of The Sixes have been adopted; 2 (Smudge & Squawk) are ambassadors at Pet Valu - Hollick Kenyon and 2 Delilah & Lefty, are available for pre-adoption from foster currently. LCL is over-loaded stuffed with limited foster homes & some longer term fosters in care…. These beauties are available for pre-adoption in pairs. And if you can… please donate a soup can of kitten -to-adult pate at any of our partner Pet Valus. Pet Valu Baseline, Pet Valu Morinville, Pet Valu Mayfield, Pet Valu Mission Hill, Pet Valu.🙏 Paper pellet or wood pellet litter, alternatives to clay litter for kittens would be greatly appreciated, as well. Also needed is kitten dry food.❤️🙏

How many cats like Nova are abandoned & discarded & are having their babies alone outside with little nourishment and exposed to life threatening situations? Nova was among the lucky ones and was rescued by an Earth Angel and gave birth in care to 5 beautiful sweet kittens, all available for pre- adoption in pairs. These babies are a direct result of human neglect. This neglect is stressing the resources of all rescues - people resources & money resources. Litter and food alone for litters like Nova’s strain pantry supplies. Please keep spreading the word - spay & neuter ; there is NO such thing as a FREE kitten. Rescue kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated & dewormed. Tell people to do their homework before thinking they are getting a FREE kitten. Rescue all inclusive fees are THE bargain.
