It is with great sadness we share that we lost another of our Ferals, Oliver. I have posted his story below.

Please reach out if you would like to help us with the cost of his cremation, food for our ferals, or donate to help us TNR more cats, there are so many who need treatment and help stop more from being forced into this life. We pay out of our own pockets for this, and will always be grateful for any help.

Oliver was born as a feral kitten whose mother came to us, back before we were able to prevent it, before we started working with ASAP and McHenry County Animal Control.
He was a sweet cat, but never let us get near, always blinking like we just woke him up. And always wanting (and getting) seconds or treats, hence his name.
We found him today, at first we thought he was sleeping in a tunnel we had for the ferals.
Then we realized that from what we can tell, he was hit by a car by the look of his injuries. He must have struggled to make it back home to us, where he felt safe.
Instead of going into the heated garage full of warmth, food and water, he went to hide. We just wish he hadn't hidden so well, so we could have taken him for treatment.
We took him to Forever Remembered to have him cremated, they have always been kind to us when we have reached out in the past. We paid them $100 for his service.
Unfortunately I was unable to get his microchip to register on our reader so we could let the county know, its possible because he was so cold when we found him, I was unable to get a clear reading.
We are here for them at all stages of their lives, sadly he passed young as too many ferals do. We are heartbroken and angry at the cars that drive so fast down our street. Well over the limit, and this is the 3rd time a careless driver has taken one so needlessly.
