At Be Kind TNR our mission is to compassionately and responsibly manage community cat populations
This is 2 of the 18 cats we got fixed this week. We had one leg removal this week. We have been slow to respond sorry a lot going on. I have been working this week so messages back are slow. Little Flipper that we pulled from the shelter got her leg removed and she is doing great. We got some extra food in and already helped some people out with that.
Something like this here would be awesome.
TCAP is proud to announce a Free Fix Day in August!
TCAP will offer FREE sterilizations & rabies vaccines for feral/community cats on Wednesday, August 28th. This event is held at seven TCAP clinics: Allen, Arlington, Burleson, Denton, Ft. Worth, Garland, & Hurst.
Last month, we sterilized 450 cats across six clinics. In August, we are making an even greater impact. 525 will be accepted across seven clinics.
We acknowledge the vital role Feral and Community Cat caregivers play in animal advocacy. You help to curb populations of cat colonies across North Texas.
There is no limit on the number of cats per caregiver and no appointment is required! We will accept the first 75 cats presented at each location. Cats must be presented in a live trap or pet carrier. One cat per carrier. This program is not designed for pets. All cats will receive an ear tip which identifies them as feral.
Notes: Additional fees (such as in-heat, crypt, or pregnancy), will be covered by TCAP. Caretakers will be responsible for additional services they elect at the time of service: additional vaccinations, pain medications, viral testing, etc. Cats must be presented in either live traps or pet carriers.

2 years ago someone borrowed a trap and trapped Buddy. His eyes were so bad. One was removed right away. We tried to save the one eye for a year but got tired of telling everyone I am sorry my cat wiped his eye goo on you. So the last eye came out it was already shrinking and causing issues. Buddy got so healthy after we removed that last eye. He is such an awesome cat he has no clue he has no eyes he can find you and climb you the minute you walk in the door.
Gibby's story. He was found roaming the streets taken to the shelter in May. He was adopted then he was found roaming the streets again and he found his way back to the shelter. Due to over crowding at the shelter he was placed with other dogs his size that were unfixed it was not a good fit for him he did not like being hu**ed I don't blame him who would want strangers hu***ng them. Gibby lashed out at the offending humpers. This put him on the bad list it's not really his fault. We had several people reach out to us to pull him. He stayed at a foster home for a month. We noticed that he had a hernia. That's when we found out the hernia is not his biggest problem. He has a grad 4 heart murmur this makes fixing his hernia too risky. We cannot adopt out a dog in this condition. He will be on fospice we found a awesome home for him to live. He has other dogs his size that don't hump him. He found a new best friend to cuddle with. He gets along with almost all the cats there are a couple he chases and that is being worked on. He will need on going vet care and meds to keep him comfortable. He is not ready for all the meds yet. I was shocked and blind sided by his diagnosis so Thursday I could not talk about it. He is a awesome little boy that deserves to live his best life till it's time.
Is your shelter or rescue impacted by feline panleukopenia virus this kitten season? You are not alone, but help is on the way!
If you've encountered FPV this year, please share in the comments what happened and what you would like to learn in our upcoming webinar.

Animal shelter and rescue agencies across the country often struggle to protect cats and in particular kittens from the infectious diseases that tend to rise as 'kitten season' surges each year.
This webinar focuses on safeguarding cats of all ages from feline panleukopenia (sometimes also called feline distemper or FPV), a highly contagious and potentially fatal viral disease. Veterinary experts will discuss disease recognition in individuals and within a shelter population, effective prevention methods, and best practices for managing outbreaks in shelter environments and foster homes.
Join Dr. Becky Stuntebeck, Facility Design and Outreach Veterinarian at the Koret Shelter Medicine Program and Dr Uri Donnett, Lead Veterinarian at Dane County Humane Society and come away knowing how to implement effective prevention strategies within the shelter or foster homes, including proper vaccination protocols and sanitation measures - and much more.
This webcast will be moderated by Julie Levy, DVM, PhD, DACVIM, DAVBP, Fran Marino Distinguished Professor of Shelter Medicine Education at the University of Florida.

This webinar has been approved for 1.25 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credits by The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement and by the National Animal Care & Control Association. It has also been submitted for approval for 1.25 hours of continuing education credit in jurisdictions which recognize the Registry of Approved Continuing Education (RACE).
Meet Walter all 4.90 pounds of him. He is about half the weight he should be. He showed up in a neighborhood that the colony caregiver stays on top of it. He went to Community Spay Neuter Clinic today. He is a love bug. His ear we could not tell if tipped or just damaged he has cauliflower ear. He announced to the clinic I do not need to be in this trap. So he got vip treatment today. He got cleaned up. He got blood work no results on that yet. Felv negative . He is skinny and hungry . Also if anyone is missing him let me know he may of been a fresh dump.
Being a colony caregiver means you do more than just feed the cats. It means you seek medical help when one is sick, it means you get any newcomers fixed as soon as they show up. This awesome tabby now known as Grover showed up the colony caregivers let me know a new one showed up. They started feeding out of the trap. I messaged them last minute we have an opening. He was trapped he went to get fixed found out he had a wound on his leg that was cleaned up he got a long acting antibiotic shot and he got his trouble puffs removed. He is now hanging out more and not just coming for meals.

Did you lose your carrier full of kittens at a house in the Arbors in Antelope this afternoon. The person's house you lost it at was gone for quite a few hours today. It got to a 100 degrees today. We know you are overwhelmed. But dumping kittens is not going to fix your problem the mom and dad need to be fixed also. Contact us for help getting the parents fixed. Yes we are mad but luckily the kittens did not die in the heat. Let's fix your cats so you don't have to do stuff like this again.
Join us for another Low-Cost Vaccine Clinic on Wednesday, July 10th!
Dog and cat owners welcome! Online appointments are required. If your pet is in need of vaccines or a microchip, please schedule your appointment now at https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=19782600.
Rabies, DHPP (dogs), HCP (cats) and Bordetella vaccines are $10 each and microchips are free. Sac County pet licenses will also be available for purchase. Please have your pets on a leash or in a carrier. One pet per appointment.
Microchips work for cats just like they do for dogs. Spooky went missing a few months ago. She was a bottle fed baby inside only. It only takes once for them to get out. She was missing mom feared the worst she has no outside skills. Then a colony caregiver noticed a new cat was not coming constantly. I told her grab it when she can. She did Spooky went to clinic today. She was already chipped and already fixed and now she is back in moms arms.

Handing off free kittens may be getting rid of your immediate problem, but you're literally handing off the problem to someone else. 😞
When people call us for help with spay and neuter, this is one of the most common reasons:
"We rescued this kitten from a lady to help her out, but we really can't afford to get her fixed."
At least they called, MOST do not. 😢
If you TRULY care about cats and kittens and the well-being of them all, you will stop and think before handing off free kittens to the first person who contacts you. And you will spay the mom cat ASAP. ✅ You can safely rehome kittens yourself with an adoption process, but I would encourage you to reach out to a shelter or rescue for guidance on how to do that correctly.
We all need to be aware of the bigger picture and work together to MAKE SURE these mom cats and kittens are all getting fixed before landing in a home. It is not the new owner's responsibility. It is not the old owner's responsibility. It's not a volunteer organization's responsibility.
‼️ It is EVERYONE's responsibility to make sure spay/neuter happens ‼️
We need dry cat and kitten food. Any help would be great. With the homeless not in the fields the cats are not getting fed as much we have 2 of the homeless going back and forth feeding and watering them.

Early this morning I was still up I was scrolling Facebook. I saw a post I messaged the poster. I told her I have had a drink she needs to come get me I will have everything we need to catch the cat. We get there we locate the cat she has not moved. We try and catch her she runs. I run after her I forgot ba flashlight thankfully had the cell phone light. I netted her then put the drop over transfer cage over her and worked the net out. We get home I get a good view I am shocked. We give her a Kayle of baby food with capstar and put her in the bathtub so all the dying fleas are continued. The fleas were horrible. She also had horrible diarrhea over night it was everywhere the smell was horrific. I gather the stuff for a bath not knowing how it will go. The bath was much easier than I thought. She continued to have diarrhea we just put towels downs and paper towels under her butt. We have someone calling around for a appointment for end of life. We gather her up and drive to vet. I wrapped her and held her in the office all 6.5 pounds of her. The tumor was probably over a pound of the weight. I held her and petted her and we named her Reilly. She had to have a name. We spent to much money because I kept thinking what happens if someone comes forward and says that's my missing cat. We spent 431.00 dollars waiting for the receipt. She will be cremated and returned to us just in case a owner is found. I held her I loved her I told her it's ok no more pain no more empty stomach. Rescue is tough but we will always do the right thing for the animals.
Some days you take a screen shot and send to your hubby and other people and jump in a car with a stranger. I have had one drink so I won't drive. I loaded her car with a trap a drop over transfer cage and a net. The cat did not want to get caught. I was not leaving without it. It has no chip it does have an ear tip. I did not bother to check s*x that's not important. The tumor is bigger than my hand. A short chase and I netted her then transferred it to the drop over transfer cage. It let me pet , it let me scan for a chip there is none. I petted told it I love it, soon there will be no pain. https://fb.watch/s-w8pe0fZK/

Most of you know me and some don’t! I’m the behind-the-scenes person. I assist Sara with her social media posts, finding new fundraisers and well raising money in general. My goal is for Sara to not beg for money daily or weekly. There is always a cat in need of eye removal, leg removal, kitty litter, cat food, flea and tick meds, traps, crates, and other things that are needed to run Be Kind TNR. So today we are asking all of you to help us raise $5000.00 for Be Kind TNR! Can you help us reach our goal in 24hrs? We may have forgotten to say thank you but please know that we are grateful for every one of you who donated and or supported us by sharing our posts over the years and well over the last few months.

3-22- 10:45am it is Confirmed Geisha NEURO FIP! She will start treatment today. Geisha has Neuro FIP, we are running an ultrasound to see if has a pyogranulomatous mass. This is not certain do to location, we will have more later today if not in the next few days. So the total bill today is $278.60 we are looking at an additional cost of $510 for an ultrasound, a total of $788.60... We have raised $518.00 as of today 3/22 @ 9:45 am. Geisha is about 10 mths old so she still has a long life ahead of her if we can figure out what is going on with her body. **URGENT REQUEST FOR DONATIONS. Appt is set for 3/22** Geisha is about 10 months old. She came to us in May of 2023 after being dumped with her littermates in a cart at a local grocery store. She recently started losing weight and the vet saw on x-rays what she suspects is either a mass, obstruction, or abnormal looping of the intestines. She said Geisha needs an ultrasound done by a radiologist in order to determine what is going on and what the next step will be. Most vets in the area are booked out at least 6 to 8 weeks for ultrasounds with a radiologist. Miraculously we found a vet clinic that has a radiologist coming to do ultrasounds this Friday and they are willing to squeeze Geisha onto their schedule that day. There will be a new patient appointment fee in addition to the ultrasound fee. We don't have the exact cost yet, but the total will likely be in the $600 to $800 range. This does not include any medications that may be prescribed, surgery if she needs it or labs that might be ordered. When donating please make a note its for GEISHA :)
Some of the lucky 12 that got to get fixed today. #bekindtnr #catlivesmatter #tnrworks #tnrsaveslives #TNR
Let's talk holding a feral cat for recovery. This weather has sucked. I don't want to release a cat if it's pouring rain and the area they live might get flooded. So we hold them a extra day. I don't like doing it but as long as they are eating and drinking we can. Any time we set up a trap you should have something on the bottom I use cardboard when trapping. Let me tell I crawled in a dog trap to test it and that wire hurts your knees and hands while crawling on it. I use cardboard. Once the cat is in the trap I add pee pads to absorb the pee. I use the generic ones for the breeze litter boxes they absorb a lot of pee. They are easy to slip in and out with dollar tree grabbers if the cat does not want you near it. The cats seem to poop and pee on the pads and fold them over to cover it so it makes it easy to pull out. Cats should also have fresh food and water for recovery and during holding time. We use 5 ounce dessert bowls. You can use whatever we just trap so many I got tired of washing little water bowls and disinfecting them for the next cats. We don't want cats sitting in pee and poop. Before surgery or after. The last thing a clinic wants to do is to clean up a cat that has sat in pee or poop. Then the cat gets chilled and we can't have that for them after surgery. I recover my cats in the garage covered and with a heating pad on top of the cages over night to help keep it warmer in the winter. After surgery they have a harder time regulating body temperature so we have to help them. We treat all of our cats with love while they are with us. We make sure everyone leaves with a full belly and love.
Merry Christmas everyone
Last night was the last night with all the hoarder cats I have had for months. I trapped them got them all fixed and we built them a temporary home to get healthy in. These cats were labeled as just feral cats. They will wander and find a new home they could fend for themselves. It's not true they waited and waited 43 of them for mom to come home. Then I came they were saved. Now 10 are off to start a new life at a local farm. They will be loved they will be fed canned food and dry food and I can go visit them. The carriers were a lot heavier today than when I first trapped them. I am sad but excited for them. I will post follow up pictures of them at new home.
On my way to go pick up a mama that's been limping and four babies and set a couple traps for the remaining baby
It's almost 6am most of the litter boxes are clean in the house. Big Thanks to my husband and my helper this morning for helping me get it all done. Cats in the catio are fed. Next I need to feed horses before I get in shower. 7 kittens and cats already loaded in the van ready to go get fixed. Today I will be working all day so I will be slow to respond till after I get of work. A little video of Melvin that we think was chewed on by a rat or something. He is still in quarantine but doing awesome.
Our newest intake. He was just brought over for me to look at I asked if they would surrender him. Siblings are much bigger than him. Mom is still feeding them this little one was getting pushed to the side. He will go to and from work with me. Hang out get bottles gain some weight at 285 grams should weigh closer to 400 to 500 being with mom. We will help with the other kittens and getting mom fixed.
Graphic video included Did you get your kid a rabbit for Easter. Did they get tired of it and just let it out? Did it get out and you not bother looking for it? Have you not noticed it's missing. This is what happens to them outside. Headed to Bradshaw shelter now. Found in the arbor's in antelope.
Did this trespasser tell me I was number one?
Anyone know this car. It was trying to hide at a trap location. And as soon as sheriff was mentioned they left.
