JUNE WRAP UP! ✌️🌞🐈‍⬛

June was a challenging month for us as our regular clinic was closed to us for three weeks. Even without our 'regular' appointments, we STILL managed to complete 38 TNRS thanks to appointments through The Pet Care Clinic and Bloomsburg Veterinary Hospital, Inc .🤩 We welcomed 23 cats and kittens (mostly kittens!) into foster and adopted out 17 of our cats!

Besides the cost 38 TNRs we completed this month ($1,222), we had almost $5K in additional medical bills.

This included:
🏩 Surgeries for Chester, who needed his paws surgically debrided and repaired and Nefertiti, who needed an eye removed as well as spay.
🌡An emergency appointment Abbie, who had a high fever and lethargy and was sent home with meds after fluids and injectable antibiotics.
🩺 Well-visits for routine testing or vaccines or follow up visits for cats that were struggling with health issues, like Leo and Lorna who needed updated testing and rabies or Sawyer, who came down with a nasty URI and needed antibiotics.
🩻 Emergency visits for a handful of community cats that were already TNRed but needed treatment for injuries or illness.

We spent $1,103 on supplies for the cats in our care. This included food, litter, vaccines, medical supplies and supplements for our fosters as well as supplies to care for our TNRS before and after their surgeries.

Finally, we spent $4,400 on merchandise, which was our recent apparel order. HOWEVER, between the pre-orders we collected and recent sales, we have already made back that investment and are now collecting a profit on the remaining inventory. (THANK YOU to everyone who ordered. We still have items left, check out our 'apparel' album for available merchandise!)

But the most EXCITING update for this month is our most recent TNR milestone. Since February 2024, we have completed 158 TNRS in Columbia, Montour and Northumberland counties. 🥹 Our goal for 2024 was 200 TNRS but now, we're thinking 300 sounds nice.

We're excited to be back in our regular routine for July! THANK YOU for all your support. We never imagined we would have the support we do and be able to accomplish what we have when we started in March. It's because of our amazing community that we have been SO successful. 🫶 THANK YOU!

We just want to give a little shoutout to Bloomsburg Veterinary Hospital, Inc for helping us with two more TnRs this week! 🥳🥳

Two more ladies who will no longer be adding to the population! Only one pictured cause the other wouldn't hold still! Dang Drugs. 😂

Both cats were trapped in Briar Creek Boro!

UPDATE - Friends & Ferals is going to be taking this kitty for us and will be adopting her out at a later date.

Does anyone recognize this cat? She was left in a carrier outside our hospital a couple of hours ago. Although she is very scared, we were able to at least check her for a microchip, which she does not have. We're assuming she was dropped off, but want to make sure before rehoming her. 570-784-6440.

Two of our CVTs, Maddy and Kasey, recently visited North Dakota for a RAVS (Rural Area Veterinary Services) trip. RAVS is a teaching clinic that offers free services on some of the reservations that don’t have affordable vet care. They provided care for a total of 498 pets over the span of 5 days, with many of them being spayed/neutered as well.

Here is what Maddy had to say about their time spent with RAVS:

"I am so thankful to have been able to be a part of this trip because it was a learning experience for me as well. Some of my greatest times in this field so far have been on these trips and the knowledge gained is something I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. I will forever recommend to anyone working in vet med to take at least one RAVS trip at some point in their career. Nothing ignites your passion and fills your heart better than this💜🐾"

We admire all of their hard work during this trip!

Happy June 1st! Here is our May Roundup. 🐈‍⬛🌞

✂️ 45 TNRS Completed
👯‍♂️ 39 Intakes to foster (28 of the 39 are kittens under 8 weeks! 😱)
🥰 6 Adoptions! (Pam, Boots, Tig, Lilac, Juno & Harriet)
💪 431 Volunteer Hours!

This month also had A LOT of emergency and sick visits for our friends. We do not accept owner surrenders and instead, our intakes come from the colonies and areas we are actively working. So ALL our adoptable cats and kittens come to us as community cats, lifelong outdoor cats or abandoned pets. That means they usually need a little bit more than basic vetting! Thankfully, we have the amazing team at Bloomsburg Veterinary Hospital, Inc to support us and our cats! 🖤

We've also included a breakdown of our monthly expenses. Our organization is funded by our community and it's YOUR donations that allow us to continue our lifesaving work. THANK YOU!

June is going to be a slower month as the clinic is closed for three weeks, one of our team is due with her second baby and we're at capacity for intakes. But we'll be busy nonetheles!
