Alley Cat's Rescue

10/20/2024

Our garage is cleared out, we have a small area to set up a few holding kennels.
In a couple months I would like to have a better trap (the one I have is janky and kittens could get stuck in it) and some litter and food ready.
Will keep you updated.
Here's a few of the sweethearts around here that I want to tackle first ❤️🥺

Plans in the next 2 years
1) Lay out my written mission statement
2) make a list of goals
3) apply for 501 non profit
4) community support
5) build the holding facility
6) start trapping!

I've discovered a momma with a litter of kittens next door and will be reaching out to local rescues here in Allegan County to get her spayed and her kittens handled and adopted. Much sooner than anticipated 🤷

Thankfully I have one trap, a few kennels too. Will be looking to build up a supply of food and litter/boxes over the winter.

3/4 outdoor kitties in my new neighborhood
I've been leaving food out for them to gain their trust so I can one day trap them and make sure they all get fixed

Got A LOT of work to do once we get money flowing to help these sweet souls ❤️

We have officially moved to Allegan County!!! 🎉

Months ago I saw that there was a desperate need for TNR out here and not many resources.
I was crossing my fingers that somehow, some way we could get out here to build up my rescue from the bottom.

The next few years we will be working hard to get things set up.

Sorry I have been silent.
My family and I went through a small ordeal and are now working on purchasing our first home.
As of now I do not have the space or resources to rescue in Kent County.
Goal is to build up again in the new home within the next couple years!
Brighter and better things ahead!

A little sneak peek into the lives of these three floofers 🥰

03/29/2024

These three have been with me since February 10 and have come around quite a bit for being older 🥰

They've all managed to escape their pen once 🤣 and afterwards resorted back to a feral state. Once I got them back in and settled and fixed where they escaped from, they warmed up a lot more!
Their progress is so awesome to watch and be a part of ❤️

Feral mom's kittens are about 4 weeks old now and eating wet food and trying out moms solid food! They all use the litter box already too!

After being burrito'd it's time to play 🥰

These three wee ones are pooped from their second day of partying with the older kids 😌
Little foot on the left, Dotty on the right and the beautiful void is Bear ❤️🥰

Kitten party today!
We have three 3 week olds, three 7 week olds and a very spicy very stubborn 14 week old.
They have positively reacted well through the kennels, hoping a little bit of play time with friends will help them come out of their shells and let their guards down. Especially the 14 week old 🥺

I'm so happy for these sweet girls 🥰

Adoption Mews!
Rose & Daisy, Norton, Heidi, Dos, Bellarose, and Irma were all adopted this week! We are thrilled to see these wonderful sweet cats find their forever homes.

Mom and her one baby are back home relaxing 😌

Sad I couldn't get the other two but hey, this is more progress than I've had the last week 🥹

I'll be back out tomorrow ❤️

One down two to go 😭😭😭😭 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Day 2 of trying to trap the kittens

3 regular traps set and one drop trap with a bottle holding the door open, set.

They have kitten food, adult wet food, KFC chicken and dry kibble.

I've got about 4 hours before it gets busy out here again 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Come on sweethearts, your momma is so worried about you 🥺

Well 🤷 I finally trapped this beautiful momma cat.

This situation has been stressful the past 4 days as she's moved her kittens 3 different times. Miraculously I've managed to find them time and time again. This isn't ideal though, as her kittens are still hunkered down where I trapped her 🥺

Waited for hours using all the tricks and they just weren't coming out, that area is so loud and busy. 🤦

Will be pulling an all nighter tonight and tomorrow morning and onward to try and trap her babies. I cannot leave any behind.

For now she is safe, and possibly pregnant again 😩

And this is a perfect example of WHY TNR is so important.

I'm just, ugh 😫😞
