Pyometra awareness post, with graphic image in comments of what pyometra looks like on the inside.

Sweet Gracie, who had an ear mass recently removed, started looking a little too large in the belly for our comfort. She had a vet visit today and was diagnosed with pyometra. We arranged for her urgent, lifesaving spay surgery, and our awesome vet sent us the photo in the comments after she was all done.

Pyometra is a life threatening infection of the uterus. The *only* cure is the affected cat being spayed, and it must be done as soon as possible.

Pyometra is one of the MANY reasons to spay your cats! If you love your fur baby, treat them as such. Prevent life threatening diseases by spaying! If you have a cat that has not been spayed, reach out to a rescuer - rescuers are always willing to help facilitate spays and neuters to stop the cycle; and to help keep cats healthy.

What a trooper Gracie has been, through all of her challenges. Grateful to the village that has come together to help her.

Update: COVERED! Now looking for transport tomorrow afternoon from Dr Jaax to the Westside

Urgent plea for a 2 week foster - and graphic photos in comments.

Our second “Smokey” in a month that will need an amputation - this time incredibly urgent as he had an infected mass.

He is having his amputation this Friday and will need to be on crate rest for 2 weeks. His feeder will take him back after this and will keep him indoors as he is FRIENDLY! We can provide a crate and supplies if needed.

Please comment or PM us if you can help.

Please do not look at the comments if you have a weak stomach 😳 we’re so grateful to Smokey’s feeder and to our partner vet for getting this boy help quickly.

Every season comes with its challenges for community cats. In winter, make sure community cats have access to a shelter with straw (not hay), fresh water daily, and ample food, as they will eat more when using more energy to keep warm.

While out feeding this morning, we put fresh cardboard down at a feeding station, so that this sweet girl and her buddies can eat while keeping their paws dry 🐾 🐾

Wow- over $500 raised on giving Tuesday (including PayPal donations). We are so
SO grateful for the generosity and support for our tiny but mighty nonprofit.

Please enjoy these photos of MJ, now known as Mack, who came to us with a URI. When he was better, Save The Animals Foundation-Cincinnati agreed to intake him, and found him the sweetest human of his very own. We’re so thankful for our rescue partners, especially League for Animal Welfare, Purrfect Friends Cat Rescue, and STAF.

This giving Tuesday, we were able to provide food for a local colony caretaker in need, because of your donations.

The faces below are some of our past and upcoming cases, all also made possible because of your support.

We’re grateful now more than ever for your donations, which help us continue to help them.

We are a 100% volunteer run organization, so every penny goes towards helping cats in need. 🐾 🐾

Meet three of our recent cases who have totaled over $3,000 between them 🙀

Smokey Robinson, whose leg is shattered, is having his amputation today. He’s sweet as can be and we’re thrilled he will no longer be in pain or dragging his leg.

Gracie is an older kitty with an ear mass and staph infection. The infection is being treated, and her ear mass, which was biopsied first and shown to be benign, is being removed in a few weeks. She’ll be feeling much better soon!

And sweet, senior Bitsy 🥺 who stole our hearts, had an infection and got a much needed dental with extractions.

We’re so grateful to each feeder / finder who reached out for help, and thankful we were able to assist! Each case far exceeded our $500 grant, and until we can help replenish those funds, our grant applications are closed.

The pleas for help haven’t stopped, and we’d like to get our grants back open as soon as possible, which we can do with help from you! Every donation matters!

We are 100% volunteer run, so all donations go directly to medical funds for our cases.

Thank you!!! 🫶🏻😻

We received a donation check in the mail today, through the St Anthony Charitable Fund, with no other identification. We’d love to send a thank you to the donor - please send us a message if that was you!

Also please look for fundraising later this week. We have three active cases who have doubled our grant amount. Our grant is currently closed until we see how things look after these cases are seen through - we must properly care for the cats we have already committed to. Thanks for your understanding and support! 🐾

Microchips work!

This lil lady was brought to us with some minor injuries. Our vet scanned her for a chip, and chipped she was! While we were unable to get into contact with her owner, the microchip showed that she was adopted in 2013 from
Animal Friends Humane Society. We contacted them, and she is now safe in their care.

Thanks Animal Friends, and this little lady’s finder, for helping us bring her to safety.

We have two important announcements!

🛑 We are offering a FUNdraising crafting /
holiday card evening! Led by the ever-crafty
LeAnn Sullivan-Tunnah 👩‍🎨

When: Saturday, December 7th 6:30 PM -???

Where: one of our Board Members Home in
Amberley Village (exact address provided with
registration).

What: You’ll go home with 4 custom holiday
cards + supplies to make 4 additional ones at
home, and some other fun holiday crafts /
decor. Some photos below as examples!

Cost: A $50 donation covers everything for the
evening - all supplies, plus light bites and
beverages.

How to Register: drop us a DM, or, if you know
one of our board members, feel free to let them
know. Only T W E L V E spots available!

🛑 We are temporarily PAUSING our grant
applications. We have had an incredibly
expensive few months, have committed to
a few cases this coming week and next, and we
need to see where we stand financially when
those bills arrive - one of which will be an
amputation that will be about twice the cost of
our grant. We’re committed to seeing this case
through in spite of that, but we need to get our
bearings before taking on any additional cases.

Please remember that every single case that
we take in is a medical case. There are no
“healthy” cases in what CCN does. We also do
not receive any “adoption fees”, as we do not do
direct adoptions (and we are SO grateful to our
partner rescues who help us with this!).

We’ll notify everyone when we’ve seen our
financial landing point once these cases shake
out, and we’re ready to take applications again.
We appreciate your understanding and
support!

We are looking for a foster for Smokey Robinson. He is currently at his finders, awaiting his amputation scheduled for 11/14, but one of the household members is severely allergic. They are being incredible troopers and advocates, which of course makes us want to help them and him more!

CCN can provide a crate and all of his supplies. It will likely be about a 6 week commitment. He is VERY friendly. After he is healed from his amputation, we hope / anticipate being able to get him into a rescue to be adopted.

Please comment or message if you’re able to help. We’d like his finder to be able to breathe again 🙀

Poor Smokey Robinson had X-rays today, and can we say ouch?!?! We’re doing some further testing to see exactly what caused this bone issue, and should have a plan in a few more days. In the meantime, he’s comfortable, on pain meds, and quite happy indoors.

We’re including some photos in the comments of our second case today. They’re graphic, so please view at your discretion. This little lady has a mass in her ear. Some biopsies were sent off today, to help determine how we proceed. She’s as sweet as can be, and we’re grateful her feeder and trapper reached out for help.

A little Sunday evening sneak peak at one of the two or three (depending on how trapping goes) cases heading to our vet this week. Smokey Robinson has a leg injury, and though originally thought to be feral, it turns out this boy is sweet as southern pie. Send all your good vibes that this guys injury doesn’t require an amputation.

From this (and a video in comments), to that, and some more amazing adoption news.

VanGogh came to us back in June, and was a little bit of what we rescuers refer to as a “hot mess express”. His bloodwork was wonky, his ears were terrible from years of fighting infections, he had some bad teeth, and he had a gnarly URI.

Antibiotics, B12, fluids, a dental with extractions, more labwork, and an amazing medical foster who lovingly cared for him, and VanGogh is a whole new kitty - and boy is he showing it!!! His true colors of sass have emerged, and he shows his affection to his foster mamma by giving her smacks to the face 🙀 (League for Animal Welfare, we may have your version of Chip here 😹).

The best news of all? His foster mamma isn’t just his foster mamma anymore. She officially let us know today that he won’t be leaving her 🥺🧡🧡.

Thank you, Pets In Need of Greater Cincinnati for helping us get VanGogh healthy enough to live a happy, comfortable life. And thank YOU - our supporters - for helping us fix this hot mess express.

All of the feels with this adoption photo.

MJ came to us in June with a terrible URI, pulled from a colony with the best caretaker who always keeps a watchful eye. When it became quite obvious that MJ was friendly and didn’t need to go back outside, we reached out to Save The Animals Foundation-Cincinnati to request intake, so that MJ could find his forever home. We’re so grateful that they said yes.

Today, MJ went HOME. Look at this sweet boy snuggling into his owner, and look at her smile.

It takes a village to rescue. Thank you STAF, for being a part of ours. 🐾 🐾

(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.
