Fulton's Forgotten Furry Friends

Fulton's Forgotten Furry Friends We’re a non profit organization. Our aim is to help our communities forgotten fur friends. We focus TNVR. Trap, neuter, vaccinate & return. How can I help?

We also foster adoptable cats and find them homes. We’re run by volunteers and are asking the community for support Community cats (aka stray or free-roaming cats) risk losing their lives simply because they've made a home in the outdoors. In many cases, they are brought to the local shelter, where they are unlikely to get adopted because many of them aren't socialized to people. In Fulton, over 1

00 cats are euthanized every year, which means that for every 10 cats that enter the shelter 8-9 of them are killed. It’s time for Fulton residents to take action to protect the livelihood of all cats. Join us in urging the Fulton City Council to adopt ordinances that support humane Community Cat Programs and remove the mandatory cat leash laws that result in many cats being picked up and killed in the shelter. What is a Community Cat Program? Community Cat Programs use trap-neuter-vaccine-return (TNVR) to save cats. Trap-neuter-vaccinate-return is an animal-friendly, veterinarian-approved, and cost-effective method for keeping free-roaming cats safe, healthy, and out of shelters — while reducing their numbers over time. The cats are humanely trapped then sterilized and vaccinated before being returned to the place where they were found. Changing city ordinances can take time and perseverance, and we will need ongoing support in many forms. Right now, our most urgent need is to demonstrate to the Fulton City Council that our community supports ordinance changes that remove the leash law for cats and implementation of a humane Community Cat Program. You can write a letter to the Fulton City Council using the sample language below and submit via Messenger or email ([email protected]). You can also message us to have your name added to our joint letter. Dear Fulton City Council:

My name is _____. I have lived in Fulton for ___ years. I am writing to express my concern with the current ordinance regarding leash law for cats and the lack of humane community cat management. Leash laws for cats threaten any cat outside with impoundment, whether they are owned or unowned. This law is particularly dangerous to community cats because they are unowned and do not have traditional “owners” to leash them. Their home is outdoors. Community cats are often unsocialized and therefore, unadoptable, so upon impoundment, up to 100% are killed. Our goal should be to implement humane programs to manage our community cat population. Please consider supporting a Community Cat Program that’s focused on Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR). TNVR is the only humane and effective way to stabilize the community cat population. During TNVR, cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, ear-tipped for identification, and returned to their outdoor homes. The community cat population stabilizes and decreases over time. TNVR stops the breeding cycle, so no new kittens are born, and eliminates mating behaviors, such as yowling, spraying, roaming, and fighting. I urge you to support the proposed ordinance changes that remove the cat leash law and implement a humane Community Cat Program focused on TNVR. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely,

[Your Name]

Some info about a few of our adoptable babies!! Message with interest or for further info!

• Black and white kitty was a stray brought in. She is about 6-7 months very petite and sweet.

• 2nd was found under a house and rescued. We guess she is probably about 3 months old.

• 3rd pic is Allie she was a rescue we brought in before the storm hit. She loves to chirp and be held. She is 7-8 months.

• Last pic are our newest intakes. A bonded Siamese(mix) pair. We would guess about 6-7 months for them. They are vetted and ready but are still very timid so would need a patient person to give them time to get used to living indoors.

⭐️We are also in need of wet cat food and litter. Any brand of either we are not picky!! We can pick up from anywhere local. Please share if you care even that helps❤️

Found under porch across from Moser’s in Holt’s summit. Finder found under her house crying. We have her in a foster home and will hold her for a few days to make sure she doesn’t have home and then she will become a Furry Friend of our rescue. If you are interested in adopting after she is vetted please reach out to us!

Welcome to Fulton’s Forgotten Fur Friends (previously, Callaway Community Cats). We are excited to share changes for the cats and kittens of Callaway county. With our name change, also comes changes in our volunteers.

I would like to introduce myself as the new Cat Coordinator, Sarah Jeffries.

Another part of the New Year and New Things Coming is a weekly posting here on Facebook that I want to call Feline Fridays. If you can see that today is Sunday and not Friday, well please forgive me as it has been a very busy week with our other projects. Hopefully, the weather will start to improve over the coming weeks and I will be able to keep up with this a bit better.
This week I really want to talk about our main focus here at Callaway Community Cats. In the past year, we have helped to spay/neuter dozens (I don't have the exact numbers in front of me at the moment so please forgive me) cats, ensuring that those same felines got necessary vaccines to stop the spread of deadly diseases, and we found homes for many animals, some that were believed to never be able to find a home.
Right now, we are at capacity for number of animals that we can take in. What that means is that if contact us, we are not likely to capable of taking in a surrender. However, if there is a way that we can help you to keep your furry friend with you, that is ultimately the best outcome in most cases. We understand that folks go through hard times and that feeding the family comes before feeding the household pet, even though we all know that the pet is part of the family. That is why we will help with food and other resources, if they are available. Keep in mind that it probably isn't what your pet is accustomed to, and this can cause some issues with their bathroom habits. Give them time to adjust and some extra care.
This is the first post for the New Year and I hope to see folks in the area get engaged. We have the upcoming Chili Cook Off coming up in February. $10 to enter and those proceeds will go towards helping our spay/neuter vaccinate initiative. I would love to see folks come be a part and maybe even volunteer to be a foster home for some of our rescues. Don't forget that there is a prizes for the top 3 in the Cook Off, so get registered by shooting me a message here on Facebook or a text at 573-220-4462

THIS SWEET BABY NEEDS HER FOREVER HOME!

Unfortunately our sweet baby Skratt's foster is moving and is not going to be able to foster her anymore. Skratt is declawed, fixed, and vaccinated, and is as sweet as can be. She can be a bit skid ish around other animals at first, but does warm up after some time. She's around 5 years old and has had 4 temporary homes. We would love for this baby to finally find her forever home! Please contact Hannah Redman for more information!
