A bittersweet story with a great ending.

A few years ago a CRNP with the Street Medicine program at Lehigh Valley Hospital reached out to Martha regarding cats at a homeless encampment in Allentown. They hiked back to the area where a few men were living along with a colony of cats. Most cats were in good health eating any scraps of food the men left for them. One of the men named Russ was the advocate for the cats and started working with Martha and the nurse to get the cats to the clinic to be TNR'ed which was no small task considering the distance to the camp. Martha also reached out to Amy at the Pet Food Bank of the LV and she agreed to provide cat food which Martha took to Russ twice a month. For years.

3 years ago Russ developed cancer and through the Street Medicine program was able to move into housing so that he could receive treatment. He wouldn't leave his cats behind.

Sadly, Russ died a few weeks ago. He left Martha's number with his neighbor Joseph who called to see if Martha could help place these beautiful cats. Martha immediately called her friend Liz Jones with PA Caring Hearts who agreed to take them into her rescue. Through the NNN Angel fund, they were vaccinated, tested for FeLV, and flea treated.

The best news is that within a week these 2 beautiful boys have a wonderful home! Thank you Wenda for your help at PetSmart.
It takes a VILLAGE.
Odin and Loki are very lucky boys!

PURRS!

TRAP NEUTER RETURN- why is it important?

Female cat can breed as young as 5 months.
Average size litter is 4 kittens but as many as 8 have been documented at our clinics.
In Pennsylvania, the average number of litters is 2-3.
Female cats are at risk for pyometra which is a fatal infection of the uterus if untreated. The treatment? A spay.
Female cats who have not been spayed are at risk for mammary cancer and the best time to do it is before they enter their first heat cycle. So getting kittens fixed is important. Most clinics fix kittens as young as 3 months/3 lbs.
Female cats that have been spayed don't howl during their heat and disturb the neighborhood at night. Or attract toms that fight each other over females. Again causing disturbances during the night.

Male toms will travel great distances to find a mate.
Male toms get beaten up during fights over mates. Most wounds are around the neck area.
The urine of a neutered male cat minus testosterone is less offensive.
Older male cats and cats with undescended testicle/s (cryptorchid) are at greater risk of testicular cancer. Treatment? Neuter at a young age.

All TNR surgeries come with a rabies vaccine that protect the free roaming cats outside when encountering an animal with rabies. Please make sure that you keep paperwork for your cats so that you can show they've been vaccinated in case of an outbreak of rabies in your area.

TNR makes for healthier cats and happier communities. Don't wait! Get your appointments lined up!

Shelters and rescues are full. Kittens, Kittens. Kittens. And they come from outside cats. So please do your part to stem the flow of kittens. Trap Neuter Return

01/08/2025

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Dont trap outside cats in this weather. The forecast until the end of January is SUB- freezing at night and 20s and 30s during the daytime.

What they need is warm shelter, dry food and fresh water daily.
We want the best for them.
