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.
(44)

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!

THIRD UPDATE: Well on the way to recovery. Thank you again to everyone who helped him. New photos added.

lSECOND UPDATE: The little man is out of surgery and in recovery. His souvenir is a chewy piece of rubber that just couldn’t make it to his large intestine.

UPDATE: After ultrasound the clinic believes there is a foreign body in his jejunum (small intestine). He will have surgery tomorrow. More updates to come. For now they have him stable and supporting him.

HELP! Butters needs an ultrasound and life saving surgery.

This boy was in clinic last Wednesday with what was presenting like a urinary tract infection, but last night he crashed.
There’s a possibility he’s hiding a foreign object in his gastro system.

He’s now at Pulse Emergency on supportive care. He is only a young boy at 17 months old and deserves the biggest chance to get through this.
We are covering his estimated bills at Emergency so far but they are climbing and he will need surgery tomorrow to save his life.

The ultrasound he needs is another added expense, but should tell us what is going on.
We need to raise $1000 if we can.

Can you please help us do this for him? No amount is too big or too small. Thank you.

E-transfers to: [email protected].

Please Note: Simone, one of our trusted volunteers, will make sure any donations are processed and set aside to pay for Butters procedure. Thank you.

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.
