Dumpster cats.
There are two cats eating /living in a dumpster. It’s -11 windchill out. Shelter was set out by a resident two days ago but they are afraid that the cats are going to end up being in the dumpster when the garbage truck comes and get dumped into it. Today we checked the shelter just to see and we saw a little face so we ran back to our shop and just grabbed some towels to block the hole and grab the whole shelter. The younger cat appears to be very feral and I’m sure the other one probably will be too. We will continue to try to get the other one and get them fixed and move to barns at least. If anybody can use some barn cats, let us know so we can get them placed quickly. We have so many needing to come in. We have to make this a quick save.
Finzi has a successor
Finzi has sent me a successor. You will now be Finzied by Demetrius. When Demetrius arrived at Kitty City he was 5.5 pounds and severely severely matted. He had an emergency shave and is already up to 7 pounds. He will need all his teeth pulled as he has severe stomatitis, but he is doing so well, and since he has thawed out he is loving life.
Saturday Morning Musings
Saturday Morning Musings with Mowgli. I’m just curious….. now that Thanksgiving is over, is it possible to move onto the Christmas baking and taste testing by any chance? I’m so ready!
Obi
Obi arrived early this afternoon. Thanks to the people who picked him up and drove in from Sioux Falls, SD. Obi was born with CH to a mother cat in a shelter. He will now start his learning/coping/ making new friends and possibly live at the sanctuary.

Happy Thanksgiving to our Kitty City Clan! We are thankful for ALL of you!
Trapping
UPDATE: The cat never returned🥲
It’s COLD, ICY and 50 mph winds. This cat was has been on this property for two days and disappeared right before we got there. I’m hoping we will get it tonight. It’s possible it crawled up in the grill.
Finzi
Finzi was on the prowl AND Bobby got adopted. What a great evening.

ADOPTION PENDING
I’m only one year old. Can somebody please give me a chance? There have been no applications on me and really am such a sweet boy who just wants to have a lot of love and play with toys. I would be such a great addition to any household. I am neutered, FIV tested, vaccinated, dewormed, and micro chipped. Please come and see me at the Petco in Bismarck.!
Animal Abuse
With small changes we can make a big difference in our community for animals. You must Be Your Own Hero! 1. Supervise your pets.
2. Know and abide by city ordinances. 3. Don’t be part of the over population problem. Spay and neuter. It’s a priority. 4. Report abuse ( in detail)
With the pizza timer going off, the dog barking, doorbell ringing, dryer beeping and grandkids playing, I attempt to explain animal abuse and what can be done. Listen if you dare.
Impound Policy
We were notified that the Mandan Impound will enact new policies. Starting immediately animals at the Mandan Impound will be held for the mandatory five days. (This hold is in place to allow the owner to claim the animal.) Following the five-day hold, if not claimed, the animal will be held for an additional 48 hours at which time the animal can be adopted into a new home or be taken by another rescue. If the animal has not been adopted or taken in by another rescue after 48 hours, then impound will euthanize the animal. This crisis is being caused by owners who will not spay, neuter, microchip or tag their pets. It’s a sad day that our town will have to start euthanizing because we have so many animals that are uncared for. This is truly heartbreaking.
Blue Hay in Feeder
Lots of feeders this year for the cats to watch from the indoor habitats to keep them entertained this winter. Had this little visitor today.
