TNR SWVA

08/22/2024

We’ve been helping community kitties at a dumpster site for about a year now. Multiple volunteers have helped with trapping the majority of them for tnr.

A few weeks ago we were asked to help an injured kitty at the dump site. Luckily he was trapped and his wound repaired. He was already tipped. We also trapped a little spicy lady that we spayed while in our care.

When I was returning them this evening, I noticed a tote so my heart told me to check it out. I found this sweet kitty house ❤️

I’ve felt guilty about returning these kitties but neither have enjoyed their confined space while recovering. I knew they would be happier back at “their home”. I’m so thankful for the gentle hearts that are watching after these sweet souls. It’s nice to know others care and worry about them too.

If your pet’s tag is not up-to-date with your current contact information, masking tape & a sharpie will do the trick!

After more than a year of trying to catch this momma kitty, the home owner was successful with the drop trap and the kitty has been spayed!!
I’m very grateful for the persistent care takers of community kitties. This effort comes with great reward!
Her caretaker had the honor of releasing her back to her home ❤️

We’re working on helping a family with a large colony of cats on their property.
30+ cats and at least 15 kittens.

So far, 10 were spayed and neutered today!

We are working to trap all adults to have them spayed and neutered, then returned home. As well as helping the kittens get into a rescue organization for adoption once they are big enough.

Not only do we worry about controlling the reproduction of the community cats but also trying to help them with ailments, parasites, and general health.

If you would like to donate towards this cause, we would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks so much for our donations! What a great and compassionate company.

If you’re wondering, yes, it is canine frontline. We measure out a specific amount and are able to treat 48 cats for fleas/ticks. Some products can be deadly if used on a different species but this is a treatment used for a very long time and proven to provide some prevention.
Donations are always greatly appreciated. Check out our wishlist:

We’ve been tackling some larger cat colonies recently.

Virginia federation of humane societies granted us with a $1,000 grant while at the conference in March 🤩!
One weekend full of trapping, engulfed that grant.

As we continue to fundraise, We continue to work on other large cat colonies and also help smaller scale situations.

Thanks everyone for supporting our efforts of helping our feline friends.

2024 Solar Eclipse Pet Safety

Just a friendly reminder - during a solar eclipse, it's a good idea to keep your furry friends indoors. The sun's rays can be harmful to their eyes, and the sudden change in light might spook them. Many pets react to eclipses just like they do to fireworks or thunderstorms.

**update: she did very well for her surgery. A very long and bloody surgery but two veterinarians and staff worked hard to remove a dangerously locates mass. She’s feeling better ❤️❤️ post op picture in comments👇

A very sweet girl came into the clinic yesterday seeking help. She has weighed heavy on my heart all night. Yes, we are focused on community cats but anything that needs help is important to me.

Our full service team will perform surgery next week to remove this mass that’s interfering with her quality of life. The family is struggling to meet the funding estimate: $2,000.
So far, we have $500 in commitment. Any money donated will go directly to her vet bill.

I know the mass is large and ideally should’ve been removed sooner. Negative comments aren’t necessary. I just want to help this little lady.
Thank you all. I will post updated pictures after her procedure next week.

26 spay/neuters in 2 days!

4 days of countless hours trapping, transporting, and ensuring their safety and care.

Additional to their spay/neuter surgeries, they had donated frontline, painful teeth extracted, and injuries treated.
Their lives and comfort are very important to us.

I’m thankful to be in a position to help with all aspects of tnr.
I am out in the community advocating and participating in trapping community cats. Working directly with them during their surgeries and recoveries.
Most of all, knowing that all of this hard work is preventing future suffering and many unnecessary euthanasia’s.

It takes a village ❤️
