Kitten Scoop

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.
(1)

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.

Happy Valentines Day!!!! If you have been to the shelter you would have seen the Valentine tree with all of our cats on it! Some had received sponsorship in person, but these ones are left without a Valentine!

Roses are expensive, chocolates are too!
Why not sponsor a shelter cat instead? Or two!
Sponsor in your spouse’s name…….
Giving them a gift…. And saving a life too!

So pick your favorite cat…… Fluff? Dexter? Little tiny Niccolo? We all know that Duncan is my favorite and rumor has it he is off to his forever soon! I have been super strong all year, but I will probably cry when he leaves. Tears of joy for him. So stumble through our Valentines and pick your favorite. Comment under that picture SPONSOR and then spend about $30 for that cat. You can do this via one of our wishlists……. Or make a monetary donation using the links below.

And as a bonus, if you want your Valentine card, you can private message us your address and I will mail them out to you! I also suppose I will have to pick a new shelter favorite for myself!

The Seton Hill Griffins football team said they would back this week again. I was hoping they would be! I had a project on my list for awhile now that I could never do because I never had enough man power at the same time. I have wanted to do this for the cats for so long…… Repurpose the church pews.

We are going to set up these very long pews in the cat rooms for the cats and humans to sit and spend time with each other. I cant tell you how happy getting this done makes me. The cats were thrilled as well!

After the hard labor was over, we only had a few minutes left to spend with the cats as a reward. I taught them how to scruff a cat safely, and what it means to do that. Some of them were sad that we didn’t get as much cat time this week, they asked to come back tonight just for cat time. I said OF COURSE! ❤️❤️

Definitely cuteness overload.

Huge thanks to these guys for coming to help us out last night at the shelter. And of course baby Niccolo was also well received. These young men are so nice and well mannered. Thank you! ❤️

Rio was a cat whom lived outside for months when his owner moved and left him behind. He was fed well, and cared for by all the kind neighbors in the community, who simply couldn’t take in another cat. A plea was made for a rescue to step up before the cold snap happened. And we were his rescue.

When he got there, I was shocked at how large he was. Yet, the most gentle creature. Not neutered or vetted at all, but we took care of that.

Scheduled his neuter and posted him for adoption while he waited for that. I knew he wouldn’t last long. And we got quite a few apps on him, and this family was perfect for him. They did their meet and greet, which lasted hours, a week before his scheduled neuter. The kids loved him so much they drew pictures of him……waiting to welcome him home. Last night, their dream came true. They picked up Rio and he is off to a well deserved forever life with his new humans. I cant express how heartwarming it is to give a gentle giant a family, with gentle and kind kids, to occupy his days. ❤️

We almost made it through the cold snap unscathed. However last night a pipe burst despite our best efforts to care for them. We added extra heaters and insulation and thought we were pretty good, but we were not.

It flooded the second furnace room and the kitchen where we set up to do laundry. We have the water off right now until the pipe is repaired and a ton of clean up is in the cards for us. The water in the furthest corner of the building, was actually freezing about an inch deep. So we have our very own lake effect! Not to make light of the situation, but if I don’t I will cry. We will keep our heads up though, and move on from this setback. The mission is too important not to.

If you would like to contribute in any way, we surely could use it about now.

We all know the cold snap is upon us. What that means for animals is severe. Only the strongest will make it. What it means for rescues, shelters, and rescuefolk means that too only the strongest persevere. Calls come in from everyone everywhere to take in cats from all over. Picture the sinking Titanic and the amount of boats available. Women and children first! I find this likeness eerily similar in our shelter environment.

So during a recent trapping by some amazing trappers. We stretch our capacity. I said last week we took in one litter. We actually took in two litters. And six adults. We shifted things, and made room because life outside can mean death this week.

This litter of floofs would not have survived much longer. Even in this time of year….. riddled with fleas and ticks dirt and debris. It’s like the floofy ones walk around and their fur acts like packing tape, picking up EVERYTHING. And because their fur is at least five inches long, they don’t even feel it. Interesting. Add to that the raging upper respiratory symptoms we have going on. Then this little unicorn shows its magnificent head. Have you all heard of a fever coat? It is where a momma cat has a fever or is sick while carrying her litter. The black cats will come out with a pileated white and black coat. This usually fixed itself and turns all black within six months. I have never in my life heard of or have seen a gray fever coat. This little half face guy has one. His name is Pumpernickel. We have a dark patched calico girl named Pfefferneusse. A long haired gray and white girl named Pancake. And of course Paddycake and PeterPan. The adults we have taken in from this location are a long haired Calico who presumably is the mom. Her name is PrimRose. Her sister Persephone, and the macdaddy biggie cheezie…….. big gray lug PoundCake.

Who wants to snuggle them into submission?

Please help us move them along by sponsoring a spay or neuter. These are around $80 each depending on clinic spaces. Or you can send supplies for the ever growing mouths we feed daily! 😊 Thank you all for even reading their stories and listening to me ramble. I love sharing knowledge about cats and putting their stories into a human perspective, so thank you!

You guys are amazing! Thank you from all of us at Kitten Scoop! <3 #thankful #catshelter #kittenscoop #feralcats #adoption #kittenschool #presents #donationsneeded #cats #animalshelter #workingtogether

Our Christmas Giving Tree didn't do so well! Partly because I was so sick and didn't get to post. We did get a couple of cats sponsored with foot traffic but there are still many who didn't. If you want to pick your favorite long timer......or familiar face when you visit, they would truly appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️ We are in need of dry food for both kittens and adults. Also in need of kitten/adult wet food. I will be stopping on the way to the shelter for wet food as we wont have enough for today. So any help is welcomed. Thank you all so much!

You have to wonder sometimes, how life comes together so perfectly. This girl came into our lives in rough shape. Some would have considered her a lost cause and end her suffering, and no one would have batted an eye. But, when I opened her carrier for the first time, and she gathered all the fight left in her to hiss at me….. I knew she would win this fight and be worth saving. She is the type of kitten that takes whatever life throws at her, and overcome the odds. Then teach others how to do the same. Walking through life with a panther’s grace, never looking back, only forward. Prepared to face the day. I think about the odds one in a million, or ten million, and how one side so outweighs the other. How this lost cause found the one person that would never give up on her either. Truth is, she is me. I think how lucky she must be to get here, and then do well. Or perhaps it is I who is the lucky one. She chose me to save her. How lucky I must be to do this every day. Rescue is indeed hard. That has never stopped me from making it look easy. We face constant battles, leaks and floods in the building, theft, shortages of supplies and money, volunteers are very few. I never post about the hardships we face day to day. They are my obstacles to bear. I never want to take away from their stories, and I usually find a way. She really is me. I posted Friday for kitten food and supplies so we can continue this work. We didn’t receive any from our wish lists. I know times are tough, for us all, but if you could spare one thing, then maybe I didn’t have to get ten things this week, and perhaps my load be a tad lighter. I also want to thank all of you who stop by and drop things off. It may not seem like I notice in the grand scheme of things, but I do in fact notice everything. The hours at the shelter are just long sometimes, and that’s ok too. I see you <3 Venmo: @kittenscoop or use the direct link https://account.ve
