T.N.R help
We are looking for a little help. There is a very large colony we’d like to TNR before the size doubles , triples …and beyond. There are 21 adults and an estimated 35 kittens. There are cats that need an antibiotic shot, one who needs to have his leg looked at and we need everyone spayed and neutered! If we can reach our goal of 3200.00 we will be able to spay and neuter all of the adults and some of the kittens before summers end. Almost all of the cats and kittens will be tnr’d which means they’ll be spayed and neutered and go back to their home at the colony. Due to the shortage of adoptions and increase of returns, surrenders, lack of spay/neutering everywhere, shelters and rescues are packed full. Everyone is overwhelmed. This is how quickly that kitten given away for free can turn into a disaster. Without spaying and neutering it’s never a rescue and the problem gets worse. Let’s work together and stabilize this colony. Once we have two tnr rounds done, we will do this again in the fall to complete the kittens. All of the cats will receive a rabies shot and flea treatment/revolution and of course , a tipped ear! No donation is too small. If you have 4.00 to give it still helps to prevent more cats born outside.

So you trapped that cat. Now what?
The biggest mistake newbies make when trapping a cat is to trap it, and then go looking for help. HUGE mistake – for many reasons.
• MOST important – what if that cat is lactating? She’s got babies out there who will die if you keep her too long – but how long will it take for you to find some help? Appointments are hard to come by these days, and a vet at a private clinic is going to charge full price – can you afford it?
• Do you have a place to hold this cat while you are looking for help? More than once we received emails with this exact scenario – "I trapped this cat, can you take it?” No, because we are not a shelter or rescue – our members who trap hold the cats THEY are trapping in their own homes. If you are trapping, you need to expect YOU will be caring for this cat while you find help.
• Do you know how to take care of a cat in a trap? How long will the cat sit in that trap, without food/water or a place to pee/poop?
• You want to get it fixed – have you already made an appt? If not, it may be weeks… Appt FIRST – then trap.
• What is your plan for that cat? If no one will take it, are you going to bring it inside and try to socialize it? Will you be releasing it to live where you trapped it? Shelters, Rescues and independent Rescuers are up to their eyeballs in cats – what will you do if no one can take the cat?
Please – don’t trap without a plan. You may think you are helping the cat, your intentions are good – but you need to think it out BEFORE you take action. Exceptions to this would be a cat in distress – he was hit by a car, he’s lethargic/obviously ill, he’s dying… yes, trap/capture that cat and get it to a vet. But when you have time to wait – stop. Make a plan, THEN take action!

A sad and tragic story from 2020 for 𝓘𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓷𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵 𝓒𝓪𝓽 𝓡𝓮𝓼𝓬𝓾𝓮 𝓓𝓪𝔂. These little kittens were covered in paint and missing their mama, when found, by a young man and his mother. They were bottle fed all night and, very slowly and gently, the paint was removed. They made it with the dedication of our volunteers.Please donate to https://www.paypal.me/CatChance, so that we can continue to save little lives like these and many more. #internationalcatrescueday #furbabies #fosteringsaveslives #donate #donatenow #kittenrescue

Trumpet is a workaholic. This little girl was one of 6 community cats taken for TNR and returned to 'work' merely hours after her spay. What dedication 🥰. Please consider donating to help offset the costs of these rescues and TNRs. We can't do it without your help. Thank you

It’s #mondayvibes and we’d like to know if you’ve thought about donating to us, but haven’t quite got around to it yet. Perhaps this little 'tail' will inspire you to help us help others.
This is about a very handsome ginger tom-cat, who was rescued, at the beginning of February, by one of our wonderful supporters, Elise. Elise allowed this little man to stay in her barn and shelter from the cold. However, two weeks later, the cat showed up injured and bloody, and she called us and he was quickly taken in. He was named Owen Sound, due to his unique ‘meow’. Owen Sound is friendly and has a very nice temperament, which leads us to believe he is a stray, who lost his way or was dumped. We took Owen Sound to Forest Veterinary Clinic last week to be neutered and to have his head and leg injuries looked after. He is now with his foster mum, Katy, and is doing really well. He’ll be available for adoption once he’s had time to acclimate to indoor life and his little body has healed. He’s a beautiful boy.
It is due to your donations that we were able to help Owen Sound and so many others. If you would like to begin supporting us, donations can be made via this link:

Owen Sound
It's #ThankfulThursday and this little guy is thankful to Elise for calling us to come get him out of the cold. Elise cared for him for two weeks, but when he appeared with an injury, she called us. Elise kindly cleaned up the wound first. Thankfully, it's nothing serious and he just needed some care and TLC . He spent the night at our Director's home and then went straight to Katy's home to be fostered. Once he's neutered and socialised, we're sure he will make a wonderful pet to someone, because he's so friendly and affectionate. 'Owen Sound' he's been named, due to his funny little meows. He's quite the character and loves to talk. Everyone, meet Owen Sound, the newest member to the Cat Chance family.

Frankie and Simon enjoying a tube snack. These two were rescued, in January, and are now in foster care and getting socialised to become available for adoption. Aren't they cute?
