We think today is a good day to share some good news. Remember KitKat, the cat we posted about last week? His eye has been successfully removed! Currently, he’s in a safe place where he can focus on healing. While he is still shy, we can’t blame him for it. Despite the cruelty he’s faced, he is a sweet boy who is getting more comfortable every day.

It is our greatest hope to find an adoption rescue to take him on. With all he has been through, he deserves a loving home that can continue to guarantee his safety.

We want to take a moment to dedicate today, National Cat Day, to the caretakers who keep our community cats safe and well-cared for.

The love and compassion shown for these felines warm our hearts every single day. Caretakers are the eyes, ears, and voices of these colonies; alerting us to significant issues within them. To all the caretakers in Omaha and beyond: THANK YOU! ❤️😸

Shoutout to Marti and her coworkers at AFLAC for the whole carload full of donations! We know we say this a lot, but it’s true. We could not do what we do without supporters like Marti and her coworkers. TNR takes a team!

**all shelters are gone** we will post when we have another batch ready.

We know cold weather is on its way and we wanted to make sure people are prepared. So we made more shelters. These shelters are available for pick up at ! Pick up any time behind the Arbor Event Venue. Let’s keep those colony cats warm and happy!

Make sure you put something heavy on top of them to ensure they do not blow away with the winter wind.

With the news of KitKat posted yesterday, we feel it might be a good time to bring up a positive story of how humans can be awesome!

One of our rockstar volunteers started helping this colony two years ago. She couldn’t just TNR and move on, so she stepped up to the plate and became this colony’s primary caretaker. She has put so much love and energy into helping these cats live their best lives. With the help of the community and other volunteers, this colony is thriving!

This is just one example of how a little care goes a long way.

⚠️ Content warning: Graphic imagery, animal cruelty

This is the ugly side of rescue work, so buckle up for a long storytime!

A colony caretaker recently alerted us that KitKat, a cat we had already neutered, had been shot in the face. This situation called for immediate action, and we took it. We could not leave KitKat to suffer!

We got him in to see our friends at where Dr. Emily removed two bullets from his face and shoulder. His eye was also removed (before and after pictured ⚠️) and is on the road to recovery.

We all know TNR isn’t butterflies and rainbows, and it’s not always *just* neutering cats. We see the best and worst of humans through our work, and this story is no exception. This animal cruelty is horrendous, and we are glad we could step in. Despite this cruelty, KitKat is a sweet boy who we hope to get off the streets and into an adoption rescue.

As to be expected, this cost a pretty penny, but we are happy to help. We would appreciate any donations to help cover the cost of KitKat’s surgery. You can donate by going to our website, straytospay.org, or through Venmo and PayPal (QR codes are in the photos.)

Happy Monday! We’ve got an exciting update to share with all of you. With ’s Community Cat Program up and running, we have updated our request form to include requests for traps only!

Why? Well for starters, we cannot handle all of the requests we get. We need to leverage every possible resource in the community because we have limited resources. Also, it should go without saying (but we’ll say it), NHS’s Community Cat program can be the difference maker. This is the resource we’ve been waiting for and now it is here so we need to use it. They have a website with all relevant information, but essentially this can be a quicker way for community caretakers to get their cats neutered. To help facilitate this process, we are going to loan community caretakers traps that can be used for a limited time to get TNR’d through NHS. The trap program is just what it says. We loan the traps caretakers do the rest of the work. Cats benefit.

10/20/2024

We’re gearing up for another big trip! Friendly reminder that we’re doing our best to get through requests. Our volunteers have jobs and families, among other priorities, and still work diligently to help colony caretakers around Omaha!

Even colony cats love a good enrichment activity! Drop some good feline enrichment tips in the comments! #cats #colonycats #tnrworks #tnromaha

“But male cats should stay intact”. 🔊VOLUME UP 🔊 We’ve heard that before. But honestly, we don’t buy it. These noisy fellas were creating quite the stir with their yelling. They just stood right in front of each other screaming. Neither one ceding their territory. One of them has an obvious tail injury. The other one’s ear is ripped to shreds. This isn’t cute. This isn’t funny. And it certainly can and should be prevented. We know it’s hard not to impose our very human perspective on cats. But these guys don’t understand life the same way we do. They have instincts that can tell them to fight sometimes to the death. The injuries they sustain and the diseases they carry are not worth it. They can have a much happier life. It’s all about #balllessandflawless #tnr #trapneuterreturn #spayandneuter #feralcats #tomcats #communitycats #itshiptobetipped #tnrworks

Here’s a little compilation of what we’ve been up to! Some successes and some “dang, so close” moments! #tnrworks #tnromaha #tnr #colonycats #eartips

Friendly reminder that we TNR because we care. Because we want the unnecessary fights and pregnancies to end. We want to contribute to the happy, healthy lives that all colony cats deserve. #tnrworks #tnrsaveslives #colonycats #tnromaha

Come see us at The Bull Moose! 4-7 today!

We had so much fun at Par for the Paws! It was a beautiful day at Elmwood Golf Course. Special thanks to Karla for putting this all together, The Arbor Event Venue for hosting the lunch, and to every single golfer who came out to support us! BIIIIIG SHOUTOUT to our sponsors: Beercade, Jake's Cigars, St Andrews Pub , Acadian Grille omaha, Mama's Pizza Omaha , Greek Islands Restaurant, Mister Toads, Quandt Classic Body & Restoration, Heartland Refrigeration Inc., T & K Painting, Laura Miller, Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Ambassador Real Estate , Liz & Gregg Colwell, Kent & Linda Tyler, Ken Urzendowski, Pat Harwood, and Mary Harwood!

Byeeeee! Nothing makes us happier than returning cats back to their homes healthier, happier, and sans reproductive organs. #balllessandflawless #itshiptobetipped #eartips #tnr #tnrsaveslives #trapneuterreturn #caturday

Rolling into #caturday like this fluffy buff boy. It’s always nice when the cats are happy to see us. #cat #communitycat #tnr #tnrworks #spayandneuter #trapneuterreturn #kitty #catgram #catsofinstagram

Pregnant or fat? Kitten season is well underway and of course, we have a lot of requests for suspected pregnant cats. We’ve learned that sometimes, they are just fat (the trouble puffs give it away too) 😹😹 Volume up for the jingle we wrote for the occasion! #communitycats #cats #tnrworks #balllessandflawless #tnr #tnrsaveslive

Bye kitties! No babies for you. You can just hang out at your colony eating good cat food and being cats. Kitten season is always interesting but this year with yesterday’s insane high, we know we’re in for a wild one. We are going to do everything we can to help cats, so they do not reproduce, which will eventually lead to smaller colonies, to the benefit the cats, people, and other animals. For the keyboard critics, perhaps engage in dialogue, rather than just assuming we’re not all aiming for the same goal of reducing the cat population. We have different views on how to achieve it, but one thing we know for sure, we are actually doing something. #tnr #tnrworks #tnrsaveslives #trapneuterreturn #cats

FINALLY back to TNRing. This is Sammy. This lucky bachelor was stinky and sickly and found his way to a kind person who took care of him. Now he is #balllessandflawless and will no longer be looking for love. We are so glad we were able to help him. We helped a few others as well, and let’s just say, we are very much in mating season here in Omaha and tomcats are trying to murder each other. We had one guy today with a major injury but luckily he was trapped, and he got desperately needed treatment to help him recover from his wounds. (Picture of Sammy in the comments).
