4 cats, they are colony cats (young) that will be off to clinic tomorrow. 6 will be spayed/neutered and vaccinated.

Please share…
More and more friendly cats out there joining feral/community cat colonies.
Our mission is T.N.R., meaning that we are out there trapping feral/ non social cats, getting them vaccinated, spayed/neutered and then holding for recovery and returing to their colony. We do this to cut down on the homeless cat population.
The problem is, now we have many cats we’re trapping, under the impression they are not friendly and adoptable, but end up being very sweet and social, not neutered, not chipped.
This is after they are trapped, if we knew ahead, we would not need to actually trap, we would be able to just put in a carrier.
We have so many waiting out there that we know are friendly, but there’s just no room for everyone because we’re not prepared for all the friendly ones coming in that we didn’t know about, and the ones we do know about are still waiting to be saved.

Adoptions are desperately needed.

Please share….
I will have to put the website address on the photo due to a FB glitch that won’t let us/you share if the website is posted on the actual post.
Thank you 😺😺

What great news we have to share.
Kent went home last night with a wonderful family that previously adopted from us.
What a special place he will have, he will fill a huge hole left in their hearts from the loss of their cat Henry Schmoo. They adored him, and suffered an unexpected loss, they were shattered.
After some time, they decided it may be OK to open their hearts again. NOBODY will EVER take the place of Henry Schmoo, he was one of a kind, and so very special to them, but they have so much love to give to another. They met Kent last night, instantly fell in love with him, and knew it was meant to be.
He has already settled in instantly.
Walked around the house last night like he had been there forever.
Thank you so much Kathleen and Lily, and family, we know it’s been a painful, and difficult few months.
We hope your hearts heal.
Kent is a wonderful cat and such a great fit for you.
Happy life baby 😺❤️

Photos from last weekend, and this weekend. T.N.R. In full swing !
Ending the cycle.
These are the lucky ones.
They will be spayed/neutered, rabies and distemper vaccinated, and flea treated. They will also be evaluated to see if they become friendly while in after care, if so, they will move on to foster care and be put up for adoption after additional vetting. If not, they will return to their maintained colonies.
Targeted areas:
Stormville
Beacon
City of Poughkeepsie

Tucci is super sweet and loving. She looks for attention and enjoys a relatively quiet environment. She took good care of her babies - we can only imagine what is was like being out in the city with nowhere to go... and having four kittens to care for. She obviously has been around people.... we're glad she hasn't lost faith in humans.. Thankfully a kind soul reached out for help.

We estimate her birthday to be June 1, 2021. Tucci and her babies were rescued from the City of Newburgh, NY.

Update on handsome Stetson !

Hi Kim, just wanted to send you a new picture of Stetson (still his name although I call him Stetsie). He’s doing well and adjusting very well to his new surroundings! That’s our cat Frances lounging on the bed in the back. They’re getting along well and just starting to play together. He loves to play with all of the toys, so sweet to see. All good. Thanks again! ❤️🐾
