ADOPT ME!

From Brielle's foster Mom:
"Aren't I the cutest thing you've ever seen? Lucky for you, my lazy and playful temperament is just as cute. I like to find the most comfortable spot in the house and lounge pathetically after a good play session where I pretend I'm hunting snakes and mice. I currently hold the titles for World Class Napper and Profession Dust Bunny Assassin. I’m simply irresistible."

URGENT - still trying to find a foster for this sweetheart!

Gotta keep goin', one cat at a time.

Everyone ... meet Sandi! Sandi was found in Chico by a kind human that started feeding her, of course, because that's what kind humans do!

When she wasn't gaining weight, the kind human became concerned and contacted us. We took her in and got lab work done, and sure enough, she has hyperthyroidism, low-grade anemia, and what appears to be some sort of internal infection.

She is receiving care for these things with a temporary foster person, but we need to find her a foster person that can provide longer-term care. Not necessarily "fospice", but enough time to turn her health around until we can find a permanent home for her.

If you are interested in helping Sandi become her healthiest, happiest self, please fill out our foster application here: www.ncachico.org/foster

Sandi is incredibly sweet, very friendly and sociable, and a total love bug. We love her already and want to see her succeed!

Also, Sandi may just be a cat that got lost, so please share so that we can maybe find her guardian, if she has one! Her teeth are in good shape, and her overall appearance is surprising good given her estimated age (10-12 years old); she's just underweight (hyperthyroid will do that) and needs some TLC! She doesn't have a microchip. We will be reporting her as found to the local animal shelters in the hopes that maybe she has a person looking for her!

The Neighborhood Cat Advocates of Butte County have reached a major milestone — trapping, spaying or neutering, and returning their 20,000th cat to its home territory. The "Trap-Neuter-Return" strategy is

Well, guess the ... cat's ... out of the bag ...

Neighborhood Cat Advocates is so very proud to share that we have officially spayed & neutered our 20,000th free-roaming cat!!

This is HUGE!!

Why? Let's look at some math, shall we? 

One female cat can get pregnant at 4 months of age.
She can have an average of 2-3 litters per year.
Take half of that, you have the litters that survived.
Take half of that, you have an approximate amount of female survivors.
Then you multiply that using the same formula above.

It's a very simple (?) way of saying, the number of kittens NOT being born as a result of spaying and neutering 20,000 cats is literally in the billions.

Billions.

Let that sink in.

By taking all of these females out of the dating pool, NCA (and other like-minded groups in Butte County, like FUR and TOP Cats) we have drastically reduced the number of kittens being born outdoors. Yes, there are still kittens being born, because there are still people out there not spaying and neutering, and giving away "free" kittens, but we hate to think what Butte County would be like without groups like ours doing the boots-on-the-ground work. 

In 2023, we opened PawPrints Spay/Neuter Clinic, a spay/neuter designated for free-roaming cats only. Since opening, we've altered more than 4,000 cats. We're able to assist other groups like FUR-Friends United in Rescue, Inc and TOPCats on the Ridge by providing low-cost spays and neuters so they can also get out there and do the important work they want to do. We love being able to help others, help others!

Your money is important to you right now. We totally get it. But, donating to smaller animal rescue groups like ours means your dollar goes even farther, because we don't pay an Executive Director a big salary. We don't spend our money on bells and whistles. When it comes to actually making a difference, groups like ours come out on top. Please consider directing your hard-earned dollars to animal groups that are actually making a lasting impact in this community. This is critical and impactful work, and we truly cannot do it without you! 

Here's to 20,000 more!
