Focus on Ferals

Focus on Ferals Our vision is to bring about a No-Kill nation through the effective use of these humane strategies, where every cat is treated with care and compassion.
(1)

Being either born in the wild and never having had human contact, or reverting to a wild state after having been abandoned; the great majority of feral cats cannot be tamed. Generally, attempts at taming or adoption of ferals prove to be fruitless. Our efforts can be realized one-hundred-fold if we do the greatest good for the greatest number of ferals by stopping the cycle of reproduction. Commun

ities can help these forgotten cats by providing them with food, water, shelter, and spaying/neutering services through the "Trap-Neuter-Return" full management program. Briefly, TNR consists of the humane trapping, sterilization, and return of feral cats to their familiar habitat to be cared for daily by dedicated volunteers. Kittens under eight weeks and/or tame cats are placed into adoption programs.

UPDATE!! Rascal has been thriving -- he's grown so much in such a short time. He and Ragnar play all the time, have been cuddle buddies since the third night with us, and they've even started grooming each other (Ragnar is very insistent on getting those ears clean).

It's still a little touch & go with Ace, but he's just a grumpy old man who *let Rascal cuddle with him this morning*. My husband and I were in absolute giddy shock at that development. He's definitely starting to woo Ace to his side.

He's lost all his kitten teeth and even though he had some inflammation which caused us to reach out to our vet (who assured us it was from him pawing at his mouth while losing one of his molars), he has a ridiculous appetite, nearly rivaling Ace's (who has forever been our "Mr Höngry").

During his plays with Ragnar, he's perfected the rabbit kick and head shake, a small squirrel-shaped toy being his preferred victim. He also loves to play fetch with a white crinkle ball.

UPDATE!! George and Columbus are doing amazing. We decided to rename them shortly after taking them home, Their full names are Rosemary “Rosie” Columbus and Thyme “Tim” George. We wanted to keep their original names as their middle names. Rosie is a stinker with a BIG personality, and really brightens our days. Her favorite things to do are play around, love and lick on faces, and she loves playing with her dad very much. Tim is such a snuggle buddy, he loves curling up with me to watch a movie, naptime, and especially his “pedestal” as we so lovingly refer to it. They’ve both made such a good improvement on our little family, we are so grateful to have them. Thank you for following up! Unfortunately Gmail isn’t allowing me to attach any photos of them right now, but I will try again another time when I have better service.

UPDATE!! Nina is doing amazing she has the biggest personality and has fit in with our family perfect she gets along with Kami and Kodak (my 2 Yorkies )amazingly we love having her thanks for giving us the opportunity.

UPDATE!! Hank (‘Milo’ now) is doing great! He’s adapted well to his new environment. We’ve not had any issues at all! We’re very happy to have him as part of our family now. We appreciate you checking in!

UPDATE!! I call Kobe and Zuko our boys! They have been such a blessing and have adjusted exceptionally well to their new home. Kobe acts liked he’s lived here forever!! Zuko was a little shy at first but has since come out of his shell!!! They are being spoiled rotten by everyone!!! We are so happy we adopted both of them!!!! Their chips have been registered!!!

UPDATE!! Potato is doing great! His new name is Arnold, Arnie for short. He is best buddies with the other cat (Nitro, now Freddie) we adopted from you in 2020. I have included a picture of them all cuddled up together. I am so happy that they get along and play together so nicely!

Thank you for saving and loving so many cats! You are a blessing in our community!

UPDATE!! Woody (still called woody) and Kyo (who we call “little buddy”) are doing fabulous. They have adjusted so well and we couldn’t have asked for better cats. Kyo is just the most precious thing in the whole world. Woody has a new best friend too (Chucky a FOF rescue from 2022, then known as Pollen). Thank you so much for being part of such an amazing organization.

Please thank everyone for us!!!

UPDATE!! Thank you for checking in. Walter is adjusting well, and beginning to settle in nicely. We love him here and appreciate everything Focus on Ferals does for cats like Walter. He's a sweet boy who loves his food and a good head rub. We're excited to see him continue to come out of his shell in the months to come!

UPDATE!! Ethel is doing wonderful and my daughter has renamed her Lulu. She is enjoying her “big sister”, our 1 year old tabby and they have settled right in as companions which is exactly what we had hoped for. She’s loving all the snuggles and batting around all the moveable toys we have for her. Thank you for all you do at Focus on Ferals, we are so lucky to have her in our home bringing so much joy to us all!

UPDATE!! This will be a very excellent update indeed!!
Daphne has bonded really well to me especially because I have showered her with love and petting and quality and quantity of time. She saved me from heartbreak and sadness from losing my cat of old age,16 yrs...and brought joy to my days! We still are adjusting her to the whole house,she is eating very well and her first vet appt is coming up....my older girl cat is interested in her but still very dominate so we may need some advice of how to make that easier. Daphne is very friendly and interested. What a precious girl who cuddles and plays with excitement! A perfect match for me;)

Daisy’s Story 🌼

In mid September we got a call from our local animal control. We always know the reason they’re calling: they have a cat chipped to us.

Daisy was adopted way back in 2020. The adoption photo shows a smiling happy mom and 2 kids. And a healthy 8-9 lb cat. What we picked up from KCAS was a 4.5 lb cat who had clearly been outside for some time.

AC and our staff had both tried all available routes to contact the registered chip owner and adopter. No response whatsoever. It would be nice if we could find out how, why and when Daisy ended up fighting for her life outside….but these days that is too much to ask of people it seems. Decency. Accountability. Pipe dreams.

We had Daisy’s health evaluated. She has FIV, anemia, and a mammary tumor. One of our volunteers has taken Daisy home as a hospice foster. The before (day we reclaimed her from KCAS) and after (first week in hospice foster) photos speak for themselves.

Ultimately we are just so grateful we started chipping our cats years ago. Daisy 🌼 wouldn’t have made it back to us if not for her chip.

This is also a good time to remind people that old, sick and dying cats, deserve homes too. The biggest hearts belong to those fosters with the emotional capacity to take them on. ❤️

🐾 Adoptions x 14! 🐾

We have been incredibly busy here sending kitties off to their forever 🏡 homes. Leif and Aksel, Nimbus and Lennox (brothers from another mother 😂), Runa, Diggory, Patience and daughter Purity, sisters Natalie and Harmony, Revna, Puku, sisters Avril and Brienne have all been adopted.

Making these recent adoptions extra special is that two of these cats, Lennox and Diggory, were trapped in our back parking lot after being dumped 😞. This is becoming a frequent occurrence and we are sure more cats have been dumped than we even know about; they just disappeared into the woods because they were frightened and displaced from everything they ever knew. We are NOT encouraging anyone to dump cats here. We have a security camera now and we will report animal abandonment. But leaving them in a secure carrier ***with a note as to history*** at least ensures they aren’t run over in the road before we can respond….

Thank you to all these amazing families who adopted an FOF cat or two!! 💜

⭐️ Kittens Ready for Homes ⭐️

Do we have some beauties in the kitten department!! Here are just a handful of the kittens we have available for adoption. Skai and Patches can be viewed during store hours at PetSmart in Grandville MI. The others are in foster homes and can be seen with an approved application! Find that here ➡️ https://www.focusonferals.org/adopt/adoption-application/

Please remember that all applications are screened in order of receipt and just because a cat has a prior applicant, doesn’t mean it will go through. We maintain our high standards for adoptive homes so we can feel good about what we do here 🙂.

Many other kittens also available. Check them out here ➡️ https://www.focusonferals.org/our-kitties/
