It is cold outside. PLEASE make sure if you are feeding outdoor cats that they have shelters filled with STRAW! Resist the urge to give them blankets and cloth materials thinking it is warmer. It is NOT. Straw, not hay, has been used for thousands of years as an insulating material. It is a natural insulator. Straw is hollow, is inedible and does not retain moisture. It is resistant to mold and bacterial growth unlike hay that retains moisture and is edible. People are often concerned that the cats won't use the shelters; leave it there any way. Place it in a corner, tucked somewhere, under something or under an over hang. It is is cold or wet, it gives cats a safe place to rest and keep warm. This home owner was reluctant that the cats would use it. Within 24 hours, one of the feral cats was inside keeping warm.
It is the least we can do. Together we can make a difference.

Check out this cool hack from our pals at Neighborhood Cats to prevent your cat colony's wet food from turning into icy blocks during these frigid temperatures! ❄️

Grab two small, brand-new litter boxes. 📦📦

Place three hand warmers at the bottom of one box, then slide the empty litter box into the first one. You can snag these single-use, air-activated hand warmers at your local hardware store or find them online. 🛒💻

Now, pop the wet food at the top directly over the hand warmers and toss some dry food at the other end. Thanks to this setup, the hand warmers will keep the food from freezing for a solid six hours! 🕰️ No more chilly dinners for your feline friends! 🐾

Does anyone recognize this carrier, or cat or anything at all?
Do you know anyone who no longer has a cat, or anything at all?
This darling girl was dumped in my driveway beside a dumpster on Saturday November 30th. In this carrier. With a coffee can of food beside her.
I haven't posted until now as I was having trouble with my anger management and language.
Thanks to -fowlow and for spotting her...stopping to check on her and getting in touch right away, and for offering to be her fosters.
Checked over, her condition was good considering the cold temperatures that day. Her body temperature was a bit low, but she warmed well. We believe she was dumped not too too long before being spotted.She's in foster care and doing well...but traumatized. It will take some time to get over and trust again.
This is completely and absolutely disgusting. That some a_ _ _ _ _e thought it was an acceptable way to dispose of a living sentient creature this way. To solve whatever problem they had by dumping her and their issues on someone else in this way is, as always, disgusting, cruel, stupid, ignorant, appalling and unconscionable.
I would also like to point out once again that my address in Selby is not the rescue, nor anything but a mailing address, and my personal space. Dumping any animal anywhere is totally wrong. Whether it be at a clinic, a shelter, a roadside, a house, a barn or anywhere at all.
Whoever did this...I hope karma is real.

We are unable to have an adoption event at Paulmac's Pet Food Napanee before Christmas...but we would like to remind everyone that we do adoptions all the time via appointment with our fosters, and meet & greets.
We have dozens of sweet, loving and beautiful cats and kittens available for adoption and foster to adopt...all waiting for forever homes.
We cannot rescue any more kittens until our fosters are open to more...and we sadly have 12 kitties still needing foster homes.
If you have been thinking about adopting...please contact us to meet our kitties.
Some have been waiting over a year to find a home, like Rusty and Patches. 8 months for Judd and Emilio. They are so lovely...we don't know why they have been with us this long.

BLANKETS NO - STRAW YES! We all associate "warm and cozy" with blankets - but don't use them in feral cat shelters. In damp or cold weather, once the blanket gets damp it stays damp - and in the REAL deep cold, it will freeze. (Dampness can get into the shelter by a rain/snow covered cat or simply on windy days)

Instead use straw (NOT HAY) in the shelter. Straw is the best bedding. It dries very quickly and doesn't retain moisture (whereas hay does!). Farmers have known this for years. Straw is for bedding. Hay is for feed.

Pass it on!

***UPDATE *** Maudie is in surgery. We will update you when we know more. UPDATE Maudie was in for her recheck today. You may remember her...her belly was a horrible mess of wounds, discharge and infection. It looks now like it is persistent patent urachus. This is congenital. Here's how I understand it. When in the womb...babies urine travels through their umbilicus and when they are born, that closes and they begin to use their normal outlet. But in some cases, the first outlet doesn't close off...and they still urinate through their belly. The primary symptom is scald, skin and urinary infections, and many other problems, including the flystrike and maggots little Maudie had. We are planning a high contrast ultrasound to see what's going on. No decision can be made about surgery or anything else until we know more. Maudies bill is already over 1000.00 and the ultrasound will be close to 600.00...surgery if possible about 2000.00. If you can help...that would be wonderful. We have three more surgeries ahead as well...2 enucleations and more dentals.

We are hoping to officially open to intakes shortly, but when an emergency crops up and no one has room anywhere.... This wee one is the only surviving kitten from her litter, and mum disappeared. We will attempt to find her and get her spayed, but she's been missing for a couple of days now, and we dont know what happened. In the meantime, we will care for her baby, and look for a rescue to take her on if possible.

Sharing a video of little Lando, our wee man with FIP, so you can see the size of his belly. In wet FIP, fluid builds up in the cats abdomen, compressing organs, causing breathing and eating problems among other issues. FIP, wet or dry, is invariably a fatal disease without treatment. Lando has been enrolled in a Canadian study group, and has begun treatment, and although he has a long way to go, and there are no guarantees, he is not deteriorating, and is just a wee bit better. Luckily so far, he has not lost his appetite. If you'd like to help with his medication...the GoFundMe link is below. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/QwJuSYKLUtf4cYEi/?mibextid=qi2Omg

UPDATE...The kitty, Squirrel, has been transferred to us, and is up for adoption! This was meant to be posted a while back. But I think today is a good day to put it out there, as it was a day full of cooperation, community, and kindness (and who doesn't need more of that). And all involved deserve a big shout out, and many thanks for what they did. I got a message about a cat in a tree. Folks were getting worried about it. Now I know a lot of folks believe cats will come down on their own...but sometimes they just can't. So I started the calls, messages etc. to find an arborist to come and help. We've done it before several times. It was a very busy day for everyone I called, and response time was a bit slower than I had hoped for, (not surprising as they were all out on jobs). The temperature was falling and snow was in the forecast, and then I got more information about the cat. It had been up in the tree for 4 days! That prompted me to get in touch with PAWS, Provincial Animal Welfare Services...the folks who enforce the Provincial Animal Services Act. They went into action. (I got to watch and take pictures). They got permission for the Napanee Fire Department, Hook and Ladder 811, to come and help. Luckily they were not out on a call. There was a pickup truck in the driveway to the property, blocking full access, and the keys to it were in Picton, so Wards Towing were asked to move it onto the street so the firetruck could get closer to the tree, and the cat. They came very quickly and got the truck out of the way. The ladder truck got into position, set its legs and the ladder went up and out. One of the firemen went up and out to the end...then it was maneuvered into position...but the cat got spooked and went further up. Waiting patiently, the cat returned and went a bit further down. It was grabbed quickly, and put in a carrier...then down they came. Cat on the ground and safe!! The firetruck packed up and left, the tow truck put the pickup truck bac

Our Story

“Dedicated to assisting our community with awareness, education & resources for the care, rehabilitation and adoption of homeless kittens.”

Napanee Community Kitten Rescue was formed by a group of like minded people who saw a need for foster homes to care for orphan kittens/bottle babies, and for older feral cats and kittens that would not do well in a shelter setting, but would be happier and more responsive in a foster setting.

Feral & stray - homeless kittens and cats are our main focus. We look after tiny orphans, and older kittens who either have lost their mums or who need to be rescued with their mums from risk and peril. Often they are at a construction site, recycling plant, industrial setting, abandoned boat, in walls, under a deck or porch - at risk from starvation, predators, cars, dogs and people and their activities.

We have also rescued many injured cats and kittens, when no one else would help. This is not our main job, but we cannot say no to a cat or kitten that requires urgent care.
