Grove Community Cat Coalition

Nine more community cats were spayed/neutered, and vetted today. They are all in the shelter recovering tonight, before they will be released tomorrow. Several in this group are quite photogenic, and sporting their new ear tip, which is the universal sign of a TNR'd cat.
If you see a kitty out on the streets sporting an ear tip, it is a sure sign that someone cared enough to give them the best life possible.

Come see us at Heritage Festival tonight and Saturday! On the Mountain Grove Square.

Five additional cats received TNR services today and will return home tomorrow once they have recovered.
This charming young feline will not have to worry about raising multiple litters of kittens, and her primary concern from now on will be keeping the rodents under control.
Kittens can become pregnant as young as four months old, which is why spaying or neutering them at two pounds, around eight to nine weeks old, is crucial to preventing overpopulation.

5 more cats are headed to the vet this morning. These cats are from various locations, and are suffering from wounds/medical issues. They will be spayed/neutered, treated for their ailments, and released back to where they came from.
Feral cats often suffer in this world, but these 5 are lucky to have a caring community to help them make it through a little easier. In return, they will help keep the rodent population under control.

Another 12 cats going for TNR tomorrow! This will bring our total to 59 cats TNR'D since January!
This group has one Walmart cat, and the infamous Taco Bell and McDonalds kitties! Pictures of the cats coming tomorrow.

05/07/2024

This kitty was a community cat in Mountain Grove. He is not cut out for life on the streets, and after barely surviving on his own, he found a person who knew how to get him help! He is now looking for a home as an inside only cat.
He is available for adoption through Animal Control. See the original post for details.

Thank you, Carol House Quick Fix Pet Clinic.

12 cats, ready for spay/neuter, vaccines, flea and ear mite treatment tomorrow.
TNR for these 12 cats will prevent approximately 100 cats from being born on the streets in one year's time.

Most of these cats came from the area of Walmart.

These cats will bring us to a total of 32 cats TNR'd so far. That is an average of 267 kittens prevented in 1 single year!

04/08/2024

All of us at GCCC just wanted to say THANK YOU! We have received several donations of cat food and zip ties, as well as monetary donations to go towards helping more community cats. We are so blessed to have such a supportive community! We appreciate you.

04/05/2024

We are beginning the process of trapping the feral cats that live around Walmart, with our first appointment for 12 cats next Friday! We start by placing the traps, and tying them so they stay open. We then feed the cats in the traps for approximately 1 week, so they get used to going in and out of the traps, which makes them easier to catch when we enable the traps.
We are in need of both canned and dry cat food to place in the traps while we prepare to TNR these kitties, as well as small zip ties to hold the traps open. If anybody is able to donate any of these items, it would be greatly appreciated!
Donations can be dropped off at the Police Department, at your convenience. Thank you!!!

Six more cats have been trapped, spayed/neutered, and will be returned to keep the rodent population under control. 5 of these cats can regularly be seen around Burger King and Ace Hardware, we believe we were able to trap the entire colony. The 6th cat lives near Cactus Inn, and she is the only cat in the area that we are aware of.

On top of being spayed or neutered, each cat was vaccinated and treated for fleas if they had any. All cats are ear tipped so they can be identified if they are ever trapped again. One cat was also treated for ear mites.

The cats will be fed and watered, recover overnight, and be returned to their territories.
