The Worcester Public Library in Massachusetts announced that people who have lost or damaged a book can bring a photo, drawing, or magazine clipping of a cat, and get their library cards reactivated. The library calls the program March Meowness, a way to forgive members who misplaced a book or damaged a borrowed item. The program has generated hundreds of returns, multiple postings of random cat photos on the library’s page, and photos and drawings pinned on a growing “cat wall” in the building.

Omaha Steak coolers are also often used when putting together a similar style feral cat shelter.

It is starting to get cold......making a feral house is so easy and inexpensive. It could save so many lives.

20Toes supports Whiskers in Albany, NY. Please consider helping out with some $ to go towards this vet bill. Thank you!

We would like to introduce you to our newest kitten, Tuna. 💙

Tuna was brought to a local emergency clinic with a compound fracture to his front leg. We are not certain of the exact trauma caused to this poor little guy, but they were told by the person that found him and dropped him off that he was hit by a car.

We got him to our vet to see if we could save his leg but the infection had reached a dangerous point and the leg was beyond repair. He had emergency surgery and Tuna lost his leg to save his life. 😢

He is a resilient kitten so we know he will rebound and adjust to this new challenge. 🙏

It’s sad to think what a rough start Tuna has had but he is in good hands and we will be sure to provide him the care he deserves. We are able to do this because of generous donations supporting the work that we do. 🥲

If you would like to contribute to supporting Tuna on his road to recovery, please visit https://www.ewhiskers.com/donate or you can donate via Facebook or Instagram.

Thank you for your continuous support! 😽

MISSING!

"Beyonce," is missing from her home on Millers Corners Rd., East Greenbush, NY, about 1 mile from the intersection of Rt 150 and Millers Corners Rd. She has been missing since Tuesday, July 12, 2022.

Beyonce is FRIENDLY and has a neurological condition (from birth) that makes her whole body bob up and down when she is standing or walking. She is NOT sick; her condition is NOT contagious to people or other animals. Beyonce is an indoor-only cat who seems to have gotten out when workers were at the house.

Beyonce is microchipped:
Microchip ID: 990000002958268
Microchip Brand: NanoChip

If you have seen Beyonce, have her, or know where she was taken to (shelter, vet office, someone's home, for example), please call

Lydia 518-495-7697 or
Will 480-428-9357

They are very worried about Beyonce and just want her to be safe and come home.

Thank you!
