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.

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!

Can we all just take a moment and appreciate Vixen’s whiskers?

From day one to adoption, our cats and kittens are everything. Through intake and healing the woes, to learning to play and get along with each other, to healing and mending and learning how to want to be adopted. Everything. We will get them the best forever homes where they will be remembered. In turn, we will remember all of those who pass through these doors and walk these halls. The best way I can describe adoption is like sending cupcakes for the class on the bus with a first grader. The first grader being an adopter, and the cupcakes the adoptee. Our intentions are good, and we hope that they make it to class. We educate our first grader on cupcake care and the dos and must nots.

We definitely do not survive on adoptions. The cat math never adds up for intakes vs adoptions. The adoption donation also only covers part of the vetting. It is eaten up pretty quickly on intake, then housing and shelter until adoption. Right in the hole you go. We continue our mission through donations. We keep the costs down by being efficient, and maintaining an all volunteer atmosphere. You will also never hear me scream for volunteers. If no one comes, I am fully prepared to do the cat care daily. I want people to show up because they genuinely want to help. Quality over quantity, always. Since our building is relatively new to us, I hope this model lasts. The cats are better for it, and the people who pass through, too are better. If I can accomplish this and save some lives along the way, then I have done my job well.

Blitzen agrees. This last set of bottle babies has taken a toll on me. Their medical issues have been hard to combat since day one. They are still on meds for different things, but are growing and thriving. From day one here, they barely had their eyes open, ears still closed. Mine was the first voice they heard. They are always hungry. Always busy. They will get a chance because someone else chose to pay it forward. The reindeer crew will be available in a few weeks! We also literally put our sign on the door. Charlie at Kaylor Signs did an amazing job!

So for Wishlist Wednesday, we are most in need of monetary donations to cover medicine for the shelves, Spay and Neuters, and to keep the lights on. We need intake medicines like wormers, flea treatments, and vaccines. We also go through a ton of wet food. Jan has been coming twice a week for awhile now. He really enjoys feeding the kids at the shelter.

For all you Meep fans! Meep went to get fixed today. He will be ready for adoption by the weekend. His spirit is amazing, and his little face most charming. Now that the parasites are gone, he has packed on weight and muscle and has the energy a healthy kitten should. His butt waddles when he walks and runs, and when he pounces…… well, you would have to see that for yourself! Little Jeep is the gray disheveled guy that has all the toes. 28! He is a true lover and also went to get neutered today. These 8 that were dumped were horrible. I still cant imagine their pain that day.

But since day one, we have only gone up! All 8 made it and are healthy. We have two to get fixed yet the little Meep Meep covered in glue, and Jenna Jaguar that had the botfly in her neck. Altogether in the last couple weeks we have fixed 36 kittens and 3 adult males. We could really use help paying down that bill.

Or if you know someone who wants to be sponsored on our T shirts? We have 3 more spots to fill! If they donate $300, we will print their black and white logo on the backs of our shirts!

I know I have not been posting like I should. A few weeks ago I was brought 7 tiny bottle babies. They were found in a box on the side of a dirt road leading up to a farm. Odds on finding their mom was slim but they tried any way. Ended up after a week of trapping only catching one random buff male. He was neutered and released again. I named him Cheetoh.

Will all of the other responsibilities in rescue I have, and work itself, taking on these 7 were quite challenging. They came in covered in fleas, and so tiny. We even went through bouts of p**p central, where they needed bathed daily and linen changes multiple times a day. The constant milk as well. I have gone through 5lbs already on this litter, and they are not done yet. 3am feedings where they are all super starving and all crawling over you trying to sabotage who is currently eating. The stress was almost unbearable. Even for me, who frets not.

The joys outweigh all of that. I have watched them play and grow and learn. I have taught others about their care. I have held them when they have cried out when their tummies weren’t quite right. Reminding them kindness when they are a little too rough with each other. Showing them how to take turns, and everyone eats. How to groom and wash their paws. All the things……… I always know that taking on bottle babies is tough, but I tell myself its only a few short weeks and it saves their lives. This is still true. But those few short weeks are a whirlwind of emotions. All 7 are doing well and growing.

They will be ready around Christmas, so reindeer names to go with their reindeer games. Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, Prancer, and Dancer. Even though they appear now ready for adventure!

Kitten Milk!!! Yes please!! We are also running low on a few other kitten essentials that are not on the wish lists, like probiotics, vitamins, and wipes.
