Be Kind TNR

Time to return traps and transfer cages. I need them back asap.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to each and every one of you who has supported BE KIND TNR this year. Every like, share, donation, and kind word has helped change lives. Because of you, hundreds of cats and kittens received spay/neuter services and the medical care they so desperately needed. Because of you, colony caretakers had food to feed their cats, homeless dogs were cared for, and the forgotten dogs we were able to pull into rescue were given a second chance.

This work is not easy, and it would be impossible without the compassion and generosity of this community. Your support reminds us every day that kindness matters and that together, we can make a real difference.

We are deeply grateful for every single one of you, and with your continued support, we hope to save even more lives in 2026.
Thank you for standing with us, believing in us, and choosing kindness. 💙🐾

I understand people are desperate for help. None of us get paid for trapping cats. If we are working extra to pay our personal bills that leaves less time to trap. We are down a clinic. I will not trap without appointments. I have a little bit of a personal life. I have a husband. We have changes we have coming to our personal life we are adjusting to. Heck we are still unpacking and organizing from the move. We have fosters we care for and our own animals. We have the holidays. Please don't yell at me when I don't respond in a timely manner I don't care if it's a text, a Facebook message or email. It's rude. If you see the amount of messages I need to get to everyday you might understand. I look at messages say I will get back to it then 10 more messages come in and bury it. This morning chores feed and clean up after everyone. Go get battery for van I have known I needed one but kept putting it off been driving a different car now van won't start hubby says he won't charge it go get new battery not letting you be stranded somewhere with cats. We have a foster dog going to groomers, tomorrow she gets her leg removed and spayed. This morning my plan is 2 cups of coffee before I start feeding and cleaning and laundry. I have not even started Christmas shopping. I need to w**d the front flower bed before the heavy rains start. I will put cardboard down so I don't have to do it again while deciding what I want to do with it. A picture of Nacho for attention. Trying to teach him it's not ok to bite hard so he can go up for adoption.

Looking for a couple of sponsors for a couple of TNR days. With the main clinic we have been using not doing TNR. We need to get creative I am working on a price for 20 cats at a time. We have to get ahead of spring. We are still seeing pregnant cats and in heat cats in December. We would love to see a few businesses sponsor a day or 2. We are looking at around 2000.00 each time. I have brand new traps I want to use let's find some money and get trapping.

Yesterday was December 4th we got 3 cats fixed. One was pregnant with 6. Ask yourself how many of those babies would of survived out in this cold. One of these cats was in heat. In California there is only the never ending kitten season. Find appointments grab traps and trap.

As I sit on the couch going who is making that awful sound. The cat walks in front of me and makes that awful sound. How do people handle having an unfixed female cat in their house. We all know that's not something I am used to. In other news guess who's little body has healed itself enough to go into heat. Little Miss Sunflower is in heat. It's amazing how healthy she has gotten since October 17th. Guess who gets fixed tomorrow. 😂

Sweet Sunflower she is looking so good. She is trusting me more and cuddles when I go grab her. She is learning to trust people. She purrs .

🐾 CAT PEOPLE, ASSEMBLE. 🐾
We’re hosting something big. Like… “cancel your morning plans and grab your favorite pen” big.

Introducing: MEOW Bridge Summit
📅 Saturday, January 10, 2026
⏰ 9am–noon
📍 7000 65th Street, Suite A

This is the event for anyone who loves cats, works with cats, wants to improve cat outcomes in our region, or simply enjoys sitting in a room where the collective vibe is “we would die for these animals.”

We’re diving into every single cat process at Bradshaw Animal Shelter — what’s working, what needs improving, and how we can bridge gaps across agencies to help cats thrive. And yes, we’re bringing all the heavy hitters:

✨ Sacramento County Animal Care (your hosts, hi hello)
✨ Citrus Heights Animal Control
✨ Community Spay & Neuter (CSN)
✨ Sacramento SPCA
✨ Be Kind TNR
✨ FieldHaven

It’s basically the Avengers, but make it feline.

But listen… we’re not kidding when we say there are only 200 seats.
And no walk-ins.
This event fills faster than a cat choosing the ONE spot you didn’t want them to sit.

👉 RSVP to Annette Bedsworth with the names of everyone attending:
📧 [email protected]

We love you all, but once we hit capacity, we’re full — and we know how y’all like to pull up unannounced “just to check.”

Everyone who attends gets:
🎁 A gift bag
📚 Resource materials
🐱 A front-row seat to the future of cat care in Sacramento County

If you care about cats (and we know you do), grab your spot now.
We can’t wait to see you there.

🌟 Be Kind TNR – December Medical Fundraiser 🌟
This Giving Tuesday, we’re raising funds to cover the urgent medical needs of Star, Nacho, Blizzard, Velcro, and many more who will need our help this month. Every dollar directly supports lifesaving care. 💛🐾
________________________________________
💛 Meet the Animals You’re Helping
🐶 Star
Posted as “Rescue Only” with no interest at our local shelter… we simply couldn’t let her die. 💔
Thanks to an amazing foster, she’s now safe with us. She will need a leg amputation once she settles in, and after she heals, she’ll be ready to find her forever home. ✨
😿 Nacho
Sweet Nacho needs an eye removal surgery so he can finally be pain-free. 👁️💕
🐱 Popeye
Recovering from a very nasty abscess, Popeye is healing well and full of love thanks to your support. 💪💛
❄️ Blizzard
Fully feral and deaf, Blizzard cannot be returned outdoors. He will become a sanctuary kitty, where he can live safely and peacefully for life. 🏡🤍
🩺 Velcro
Velcro has a 5/6 heart murmur and needs to see a specialist so we can map out the best treatment plan. ❤️‍🩹
These babies are all incredibly sweet and so deserving. They need our help now more than ever. 🐾💞
