Kitten Scoop

We are a 501 3 c non profit focusing on TNVR programs and colony management. Located in southwestern PA, our goal has always been clear.

We adopt out friendly cats and kittens while performing TNVR, and educating the public. We are in it for the animals. Our main focus is Trap Neuter Vaccinate Return programs to curb the over population. Our methods incorporate the most humane trapping methods and effective colony management over all. In doing so, we do not return kittens, friendly, sick, or injured, cats who can be placed for adoption. We will always strive to be a continuing educational resource for the community.

We are working nonstop to make the building better for cats while they stay with us. Many of you expressed notions of sadness for PoundCake but happy thoughts for Dottie! All I can say is that all of them have a forever home that will be amazing for them. Waiting is a tough game to play, but everything does work out exactly as it is supposed to. I know Saturday, at the end of the day, I looked across the building and took in all that needed done still. After a very long day’s work. I started to feel a bit overwhelmed. I took another minute to stop and think about what all has been accomplished thus far. That usually sets my mind right. There is more done than there is to do. Read that again. There is more done than there is to do.

The first day, there was nothing. Literally nothing to start out with. Except the cats anxiously waiting for a space to call home before winter’s ungodly chill set in. I remember making two trips to lowes within an hour apart and still trying to tighten a water line down with the smallest pair of pliers I had on me in that mess of a car. I remember back then That I always gave myself ten minutes to reflect on the day and what the first priorities were going to be tomorrow. Back then I remembered how much I repeated “this has to work, we don’t have a choice.”

Today is a new day. When I remind myself of how much is still needing done, which doesn’t compare to the amount of complements we’ve received over the last week about how great it looks and how much work has been done. Which further proves that if everything happens for a reason, and we let the good shine through, then we know this is exactly what we are supposed to do. The cats are in the right place, and so are we! Exactly as intended.

Having said that, we haven’t had any adult wet food come in since early last week. We are out of that completely. Also opened the last bag of kitten dry food. will be looking bleak! Cleaning supplies are also high on the list with garbage bags, and paper towels the highest! We literally ran out of paper towels and wipes. We have a few outstanding vet bills as well we must take care of.

Please help us, so we can focus on finishing more rooms!

Thank you all for all you do!

It’s hard to describe what a life can carry. How do I tell them that their mom didn’t make it across the road while they were sleeping. Or that they will never see her again? I am not even sure I have to tell them. Laying there holding clutching her sushi feather and never letting go. Tells me, that she is dreaming. Rescue is the stuff of nightmares sometimes, but dreaming is a good thing. They have each other, and they have me. I am not their mom, but something is better than nothing. I will guide them and watch them grow tall and teach them the ways. They will learn from each other. They will annoy each other, but ultimately, they will be each other’s one true constant in life.

So what can one life carry? Well the weight of the world of course. As long as you have the right rock standing beside you to help bear it all. So we welcome Whisper and Whimzee to a new life beyond the one they had outside. We welcome them to grow and learn and play with us on their journey to their forever humans! So please help us welcome these two to !

We are most in need of wet food this week. I have to again order vaccines. We have some other upcoming expenses with appts for spay and neuter, we also need to purchase some supplies for the renovations. Drum roll please…… has a meet and greet this Saturday! Be still my heart.

Thank you all for all you do!

Today is and a large reason why we exist. We believe to end cat homelessness we have to focus on the cats outside having the kittens that flood rescues. Truth is, very few want to fund spay and neuter efforts for trapping and TNR. Who wants to pay for no one’s cats? We get it. But to shut that faucet off, it is a must.

At , we never leave a mom behind. We teach others values and morals to help guide them to be ethical trappers. True, we all want 100% results, 100% of the time, but trapping is a learned skill that takes patience. You can do a million things to coax a cat into the trap, but that only makes up 10% of trapping. The other 90% is on the cat.

A feral cat is one whose survival depends on their fear and their own learned skills. They have lived day after day as the smallest predator with the most to prove. They conserve their energy when it’s cold. The moms protect their kids from every living creature out there. Including bugs and parasites. The males fight and protect their ground. The kids are taught to be nomads at an early age. Indeed, a feral cat’s life is tough.

So today, we honor them. We love them from a distance. We fix as many as we can. We keep the ones who will be fantastic pets. We call them all “No One’s Pets.” So please sponsor a spay or neuter for a feral cat on this day!

Stop! 🛑 Something’s not right! How is it that these 4️⃣ beautiful girls were born outside? Their colors and coats make them highly adoptable……… Kind of like the trend “She’s a ten, but that mouth though…..” Truth is, there are so many cats outside. The ones you see make up about 10%. Just to think, the spot you are standing in right now, within a ten-mile radius, there are approximately 10,000 homeless cats. 🐈‍⬛️ x10,000.

How do we fix it? We don’t. We tread water. We instill value on these sentient beings. We treat them all like future pets and lay the path for our children to continue the work we started. This situation is 100 years in the making, and our generation and the one before us, recognized that there was a problem with how cats are viewed in society. We worked toward change, and the next will work harder. True change is yet to come, but I foresee it.

What does the future hold for these girls? 4 girls born outside left to their own devices would have made 40 in a year. Instead, they are part of that change. 15 years from now they will sit in their tall scratchers, window gazing, and think to themselves, “I am part of the last generation to be born outside.” “they finally got their ish together.” “I am proud of them.”

Just a little food for thought as we welcome these wee girls to . Meet Julianna, Mariela, Serena, and Cecilia. Can you guess which has the most attitude? Speaking of food, we are definitely in need of wet food. We went through the last set of donations like it was Halloween Candy on day 2. 🍫🍬🍭🎃
Thank you all for all you do!

Sadly a post we hate making. Gwendolyn. This young girl was brought to our shelter as she was living outside and not doing well. She is barely 5lbs. Spirit broken when she tossed outside. She once had a home, that is clear. Flea ridden, and starving. I stayed with her last night after intake for a little while to make sure she was ok. When I checked her for a spay scar, I found two or three tiny balls that you could free move around her abdomen. I assume they are BBs or pellets. We will know more when we send her for spay and Xrays.

For now she is recovering with us. To us she means the world. A broken soul just trying to survive a life she was given. To others, she is just another black cat and completely expendable.

One day, we will make a difference. For Gwendolyn, that day is today.

Thank you all for all the amazing things you do to help us. We truly couldn’t do this on our own. Thank you so much!

Rescue is tough. Cat rescue especially. In the dog world, you get a call to save this one pit bull or two, and ten people all network to try and fit these dogs in somewhere. In the cat world, you get the call to rescue one problematic owner surrender that will not mesh in your group of cats well….. or you get the call that Aunt Sasha passed away and no one wants her 3 senior cats. Or, the call is for TNR for 20 cats outside (which ends up being more like 35) or dozens of cats in a home that have not had any medical treatment, and living in filth.

There are two sides to everything though. There is a lot of good too in the cat world. Going to the shelter every day, is the best part of my day. I talk to the cats and ask them about their day. I think about them and make up stories in my mind that happened…. Just based on what I see in their personalities. Like, Did PoundCake complain all day and try to smack people around? Or Did Bogey try to stuff Meep in the tent again? Meep are you ok? They really cant speak so the convo is limited by only your imagination. The best part is getting to watch them thrive. Or maybe the best part of rescue is getting to watch them play. Or knowing I have food to feed them, and a soft spot to land. Or getting adoptions…. That might be the absolute best part.

These are all some of the good things. But deep down one of my most favorite parts of rescue is the people. Watching a group of people, from all walks of life mind you, work together to each contribute one small thing……….that adds up to a large thing…… that makes the cats’ lives so much better. I almost never point that out, but there is literally no value that can be placed on humans working together with determined minds. To those that think the work is ever worth it to those who genuinely feel in their soul they are making a difference…….. It could simply be one single cat loving helper in a sea of 100 people who couldn’t care less about cats…… that one person still trying to get the attention of the 100, and not caring about their lack of enthusiasm, and they still try. We as cat people often do stand alone, and untied at times as well. Yep one of my favorite things are the people…….. The cat people.

Happy Friday Folks!

What can say about a Meep? She is a pleasant little thing. Rescue has dignified her for sure. Day one, covered in fleas and p**p and crammed into a carrier with 7 siblings. A carrier not even fit for Poundcake mind you. Starving. Dumped on the doorstep of a caring rescue.

I will never forget their faces that day. Scared to death. That smell too, whew. Hard to love when you smell like that. Meep barely had any fur on her back legs. The product of flea infestation and liquid p**p for far too long. I remember stroking her fur and drying her after her baths and she was literally a tiny sac of bones. But still a little sassy.

Today, her fur is clean and sleek and soft. She purrs when you pet her. She loves her food. She romps and plays like a kitten should. Heavy on the romping because of all those toes! She has her daily routine down pat. She looks for me every single day, and I for her. I hold her and pet her. And from day one, and every day since, I have promised her again and again that she will be safe. Her seven siblings are now all fixed and ready for adoption as well. Their personalities quite unique, even though their fur is mostly the same.

At Kitten Scoop, we have too many toes, not enough tails, and all of our cats are gray! This week we are in DESPERATE need of wet food. Kitten and Adult….. we also need kitten dry food. The reindeer crew are now 8 weeks old!
