(Very minor) medical foster needed for about a month.
MJ is our newest case, and is SUPER friendly. He was pulled from a colony in Lebanon, as he has a URI. We’ve started him on antibiotics that he takes like a champ, and he’ll be seeing our vet Tuesday.
Looking for a foster that can keep him separate from any other cats for about a month, administer meds for the next 8 days, and be ok with the fact that he isn’t neutered (we’ll be taking care of that as soon as he’s feeling better, and hopefully finding rescue intake for him once he is fixed and has a clean bill of health).
He MUST stay separate from any resident cats as he is 1. Sick 2. In his 30 day quarantine period and 3. Not vaccinated yet since he is sick.
CCN can provide a crate and food if needed. He eats like a champ in spite of not feeling great.
Comment or message us if you’re able to help MJ

“Mr mustard” was released today after completing his treatment and being fostered by his amazing finder for the past month. He seems thrilled to be back in his “home”.
Beyond grateful to Liz, his finder and foster. She is the perfect example of the community stepping up to help with our mission - helping community cats heal.
We’d like you to meet Liz, and the newly renamed Mr. Mustard.
Liz found this kitty in bad shape on the streets. And do you know what she did? She scooped him up and contacted us. She drove him to our vet, then went back and picked him up, and is fostering him for the duration of his three week treatment - where, as you can see, he’s getting the very best care.
Truth be told, we cannot do what we do without community members like Liz, who see something and do something - and open up their homes (or garages) to foster.
Be like Liz. Community cats are better off because of amazing humans like her!
Sunday night we were contacted about a cat that had likely been hit by a car, that was at an emergency vet. A very kind community member had found her and brought her in for evaluation. Community Cat Network covered her exam fee, and we’re thrilled that her prognosis is hopeful.
Pictured is her in her foster / finders home - we’re so grateful that this person took action to get the cat help!
Isn’t she gorgeous?! She’s been named Alice.
Frances / Frankie, our osteomyelitis kitty, is healed and HOME! As you can see, he wasted no time in getting the heck away from humans.
Grateful for his feeder, who takes excellent care of him, and his foster. It takes a village!
Frances AKA Frankie is heading back for a recheck of his osteomyelitis today, after being on crate rest and meds - he sure seems like he’s feeling MUCH better! Peep those airplane ears 👀 ✈️. Here’s hoping for a good report so that Frankie can head back to his “home” where he is safe, fed, and cared for from afar.
A VERY big thank you to first time kitty foster Courtney and her family for giving this guy a place to heal. We couldn’t do what we do without the community stepping up!
We are looking for a foster for a community cat that is experiencing some skin issues. The finder / trapper is a foster herself and is at capacity. We plan to get the cat assessed / treated as soon as we have a foster lined up.
Feeder has been able to pet her, but she would still need a safe space / quarantined area.
We will of course be deworming, treating for fleas, and combo testing in addition to treating her skin issues / open wound.
We can provide a crate if needed, and other supplies (food, litter).
Please PM us if you are able to help. “Vivian”, as the cat has been named, would surely appreciate it!
A sneak peek into the life of community cats. This is Gus and Nudge. Gus had a wound that required him to be trapped and cage rested for awhile until it cleared up. As you can see, he has quite the stories to tell.
Warning: graphic photos in comments.
Archibald is doing fantastic! His wound is healing nicely, does not require any surgical intervention, and he is an absolute love. Today he received some strong antibiotics that will be continued as he heals, pain medications, a combo test (double negative), his vaccines, flea treatment and de-wormer. We are awaiting the final bill, but estimating that it will not be much above what we have received in donations for him. Thank you! Any donations above and beyond will be used to help the next community cat in need.
Archie was living as a community cat, complete with his badge of honor in the form of his ear tip. With as friendly as he is, we are thrilled that Purrfect Friends Cat Rescue has agreed to intake him once he has healed, and adopt him out when he is ready.
It truly takes a village, and we’re just thrilled with the village that has helped Archie get help.
It’s time for a community cat spotlight!
And while we’re at it, some of you may be wondering 🤔”what exactly IS a community cat?!”
We’re glad you asked! A community cat is an unowned, free roaming cat. Some of them are friendly to people, some of them not so much - and that’s ok! It’s how they survive.
Meet Fritz! Fritz was part of a TNR project through another local, amazing rescue. His feeder thought he may be friendly and adoptable, so one of our board members agreed to foster him and give him a chance to let his personality shine. Well, turns out, Fritz wasn’t a fan of being inside. At ALL.
So, he was neutered, and returned to his colony where his caregiver keeps a watchful eye on the cats, and provides them with food, water, and shelter. Just look at how happy Fritz is to be back where he feels most at home!
With proper care and of course spay and neuter, community cats can live happy, healthy lives!
Look at Freddie go!!!!
Freddie got her stitches out Thursday and she is THRILLED to stretch her legs and get time out of her crate! Doesn’t she look amazing? Her fosters - who are the ones that found her injured - have done an amazing job, and are the textbook story for exactly what Community Cat Network of Cincinnati, is about - empowering our community members to help community kitties in need!
Freddie wouldn’t have gotten the help she needed without the generosity of so many who donated to her care. Thank you!
