So true....

Friday's Cat

In rescue, there are three types of cats. Friendly cats who get adopted into homes, unsocialized cats who are Trap Neuter Returned (TNR) and the ones that don't fit neatly into either of these categories. Nova and Ember are cats like this. Trapped as older kittens, they are semi feral. If they were in a good location, these two would have been TNR'd. But the gated business where they lived has banned feeders from their property. So, they can't go back, but they are also not adoptable into homes looking for a cat to pet and love.

Some people advertise cats like this as barn cats, but that is rarely a happy ending for kittens or for adult cats who are used to life in a residential area. This bonded pair would do great as shop or garage cats where they have food and shelter in a protected environment. In return for your compassion, they will do mouse control. And if you are someone who loves cats, it is satisfying giving cats like this a chance at a life. Over time, they will become more socialized to their caretaker, but will probably never be lap cats. In fact, they may not ever enjoy handling at all. But if you like cats and like taking care of them, please contact Noreen about this tortie (Ember) and tabby (Nova).

We also have other rescuers with working cats looking for a barn, garage or shop. Some of them are adults coming from barn environments, while others are juveniles like these who need a more residential or urban home.

If you are interested in adopting this pair, email Noreen at [email protected]

WHY KITTY DEVORE RESCUE OPPOSES DEVORE'S NEW TNVR-ONLY POLICY.

Devore Animal Shelter adopted a new policy on September 1, 2024, that turns away all cats over the age of 9 months old. This includes pregnant females, moms with kittens under 8 weeks old, and owner surrenders.

This policy will promote animal abandonment, leaving many domesticated cats to fend for themselves outdoors. Networker proponents who pushed this agenda believed it would be ideal and beneficial for all cats. They believe finders will hold onto these cats and then jump through the hoops of TNVR before releasing them outdoors.

Of course, the shelter doesn't mind because fewer cats means less mouths to feed, less bodies to clean up after, less medical issues to contend with, and it makes them appear on paper as no-kill... but those numbers are false. If only the young, cute, highly adoptable kittens are admitted, adoptions will abound... but they don't include all the cats turned away who will die outdoors by coyotes, people who view them as pests, cars, disease, starvation, infections, and injury.

Rosy's foster parents submitted her bio earlier this week. Today, as we processed her photos in preparation for her bio listing we were struck by the extreme difference a year in rescue care can make for a kitty.

Rosy, then known as Trillian, was rescued just over a year ago and, unbeknownst to us at the time, she was pregnant. She gave birth to four kittens in September in the comfort and care of a loving foster home instead of the streets of Muscoy where she was picked up.

This was Rosy on the day she was rescued a year ago. This is Rosy today.

This is what rescue does for kitties admitted to shelters and why this new policy is NOT the answer.

Our Story

Mission: We are devoted to the rescue, care and adoption of stray, feral and abandoned cats. We also educate and empower the community to advocate for every cat’s right to be safe, healthy and valued. We are building a no kill nation, one colony at a time.

Vision: We envision a time when all cats are cared for, all kittens and domesticated cats are in loving homes and there is a healthy, but declining sterilized managed feral cat population. The feral cat colonies that do remain are monitored, fed, and treated medically when needed by their caregivers.
