Our First big TNR clinic post.

I will give a quick breakdown of stats at the beginning for anyone who doesn't want to read the book.

We trapped 12 cats in Osawatomie. One had to be returned per police due to someone who frequently harasses me calling and reporting I stole her cat. This was not true, her cat came into the property I was trapping at and looked just like 2 other kittens of approx same age. It was microchipped and they had the number to verify. However I was never going to KEEP the cat just fix and return so they lost out on a free full service for being a turd. 🤷

So that left us with 11 trapped, since we didn't have our full amount for our appointments to be fixed we took 3 from the rescue needing fixed for homes.

Cats taken to clinic: 14
Total females: 11
Total males (2 being ours): 3
Total fixed on Sat: 10
All cats fixed were combo tested for FIV/FELV and were negative.
All cats fixed were given FVRCP/FELV and rabies vaccines.
All cats fixed were given Revolution + for fleas, ticks, ear mites and roundworms/hookworms.
All TNR cats were ear tipped.

🚨🛑Trigger warning! Topic Spay/Abort🛑🚨

Sat morning we got up at 5am and left the rescue at 5:30. My board member and friend Tracy went with me to assist.

We arrived at the clinic at roughly 7am.

We helped get the area prepped and then unloaded and got the cats settled. While waiting for the vet tech to arrive we organized the cats and began processing paperwork. Out of all the females we had we 6 tortirs/calicos so that helped us easily identify their genders. We knew a couple were pregnant for sure. 3 cats we were unsure of and prayed those were males..... NOT A SINGLE ONE WAS! 🤣🤯 Not only that but 1 didn't even look pregnant! She ended up having the most and was the furthest along in her pregnancy. 🤣

First cat, right off the bat someone in Osawatomie brought to us because they were worried she would get pregnant again and her previous babies were roughly 4mo old. 😅

She did not look pregnant really but was suspected to be. They began the surgery and found 5 kittens that had already sadly passed away. So, either she would have miscarried and expelled them all in the next few days or if something went wrong she could have gone septic and died. So preforming a spay/abort could have saved her life.

2nd cat was a male who was VERY feral. Neighbors have worried about his leg for a bit because they kept seeing him limp around. Vet checked his legs and said she thought he might have some arthritis setting in and likely due from jumping from to high places.

3rd cat was one we suspected of being pregnant and she was! She was pregnant with 6 kittens! They were spay/aborted.

So first 3 cats and already 11 kittens.

Since I know Spay/aborts are sensitive to people and it's sad indeed I wanted to explain how it works. When mom is put under anesthesia for her surgery the babies also fall asleep. They feel nothing, when the uterus is removed and the blood supply is cut from the babies they pass painlessness with no fear instantly. It's peaceful, it's not some horrific thing that happens. Kittens born outside in a feral colony have a 1 in 6 chance of survival and often times the mortality rate of babies born outside is even higher especially when it's to younger 1st time moms which several of these were.

4th cat was one of my males, healthy nothing to report really other then he was the sweetest boy.

5th cat was a female that had very recently (within the last few days) been in heat. Her uterus was still very swollen and thinned tissue. In fact the vet had a hard time closing it off and suturing because it kept tearing. She finally had to tie off a little further back then normal to more stable tissue to secure it. There was a LOT of blood.. She was likely bred just hadn't started developing the pregnancy yet. So how many she would have had we don't know.

6th cat was my other male... Again super sweet baby.

7th cat was my little female. She has never been in heat of course and her spay was the fastest and easiest of the day. Her uterus looked so tiny compared to the others that were soo swollen and filled with babies. Seeing the difference I was blown away by how much they can stretch!

It was here that the vet while answering the questions being peppered at her explained the reason most vets won't spay before 6mo for a kitten for the general public. 1 the risk of complications is much higher. But 2 most of the time people bringing their cats for spay the cat is an indoor cat and healthy. Feral cats tend to go into heat earlier and more often then inside cats. 1 possibility could be because she will likely loose most if not all her kittens. It's nature's way of making sure they don't go extinct. Of course I don't think we are ever going to have to worry about that. 🤣
So yes kittens CAN get pregnant as young as 3-4mo (we have personally had cats come to us with babies at 5mo old and those are the HARDEST to get healthy afterwards) if you keep your kitten INSIDE and away from unaltered males your chances are reduced at having a litter.

8th cat was another young female that was pregnant. The crazy thing about her was she did not look pregnant at all! She was pretty wild and it took 2 sedative shots to get her to go to sleep enough they could pull her out of the trap and handle her. We later realized it was due to the fact she had 6 kittens and they were the oldest gestational age and they had absorbed most of the medication first.

9th cat was a female we suspected was already spayed because in the 7yrs she has been fed by this couple she had not once had kittens! In fact not knowing that torties are genetically 99.9% chance at being female they named her Gary because they thought SHE must be a HE. Oh did I mention her size too? She was also a good sized female cat so they just assumed a big Tom cat. But she is their favorite. She also got the vaccines, test and ear tip etc.

One cool thing about Gary is that she is the poster child for TNR. She had a loving feeder, a safe space for her to stay protected, she refused to ever go inside even when they tried. She was the picture of health, so much so the vet was super impressed. Oh and did I mention she was estimated at 7yrs?? That's a ripe old age for a feral! Because someone cared enough at some point to get her fixed she has lived peacefully without males chasing her, she stays mostly in their yard at all times because she's not looking for mates and she is not sending hormonal signals for all the male cats in the area either! Which means she doesn't bother the neighbor's like the others do! She is also an excellent mouse, rat and snake hunter!

10th was another pregnant female that had 5 babies. Her procedure was pretty standard however she had some matting so while she was under we went ahead and brushed it out for her. Talk about spa treatment!

Unfortunately due to the fact that the vet had used all 5 of her surgical trays after sterilizing 4 while we were at lunch, and it was now 5pm and we had 4 more younger females to do we decided since it takes roughly an hour and a half for the sterilization process we would end it there and made a plan.

Dr Branson kept 2 and will spay tomorrow and Tues and then return them to me on Weds when she comes to town to visit family.

I brought home the 2 smallest kittens that I estimated at 8-10 wks. They are tiny and in fact neither were really heavy enough to trip the trap on their own and both went in and when the 2nd stepped on the trap with the first it triggered. 🤣 A 2 for 1 special!

Since they are so young and have been fed and loved by the feeding couple we decided with their blessing to go ahead and make them part of our rescue and try and socialize them and find them homes. I have already picked them up pretty easily and while scared not mean. They did however manage to somehow escape their cat condo cage when they figured out they could slide the pan (apparently it wasn't secured properly) and made their great escape. Thankfully they didn't go far and were hiding in our laundry room. Probably followed HeiHei when he went in for food or litter usage. 😅
They will be taken to Prairie Paws for their spays on Weds. ❤️

After stopping surgeries around 5pm our amazing vet went to the computer and had to enter everything in so she could give me their paperwork and proof of everything that was done. Which took her another roughly 45min to enter.

We loaded up while she was working on that and then finally headed home.

Sunday all but the 4 still waiting for their surgeries were returned and Gary was sooo happy to be reunited with her boyfriend the man feeding her. 🤣 While he would never admit it he had tears in his eyes and was so thrilled to hear how good she did and I then again when I offered to get the babies into our rescue and find them homes.

While this weekend was a VERY exhausted both physically and mentally it was a very GOOD weekend and we helped not only a lot of cats but it made a HUGE impact on this neighborhood! This 1 block of 1 road and the fact that so many amazing neighbors worked together to make it a success and sadly we are still far from done. 😅

Total cats fixed for this 1 block radius so far (or will be by the end of Weds) is 14. It would have been 15 if our dear Belle hadn't had her babies in my trap. 🤣

The confirmed amount of physical kittens we have prevented from being born in THAT neighborhood is 25 not counting the fact that all these females could technically have at least 1 more litter this year alone.

TNR saves lives and it prevents suffering and helps reduce the annoyance to neighbors. It WORKS! I have already seen how much so it does work! PLEASE spay/neuter and PLEASE donate, share and help where you can.

PS I am sharing some pictures of but will save the gory ones for only those who REALLY wish to see it. It's not gory but it does show uterus's. 😅

I have to say a HUGE thank you to Dr Branson and her staff and her amazing teen volunteers! Dr Branson has family in Osawatomie but lives in the city. She saw the article in the paper about our TNR efforts and she got so excited she called to talk about how she could help. Together we came up with a plan for today. I think we underestimated how many females we would end up with. 🤣
More on that in a later post.
Dr Branson was able to get vaccines, revolution plus (flea, tick meds) and combo tests donated to greatly reduce our costs and give these ferals cats the best care possible.

We started surgeries at 8am and finally had to call it a day at 5pm and we still have 4 females needing done. Today was HARD WORK and her and her staff came in on their day off to volunteer their time to help support our efforts. I didn't get a good picture of her without her mask but we are so thankful for her assistance!

Thank you so much for your literal back breaking work! The chats, the laughs and then she paid for everyone's lunch herself!

Thank you so much!

👏 If your animal is running at large (against city ordinances) and your cat gets trapped in one of our traps on a neighbor's property during our TNR efforts after we have made post after post after post AND neighbors have been told to notify the neighbors.... I WILL TRAP THAT CAT AND TAKE IT TO BE FIXED! Yes we will scan for a chip at the vet and YES it WILL BE RETURNED" to the area where it was trapped! But you don't need to be sending the police to my house after 9pm claiming I stole your cat because that is NOT what happened. I hope the owner is telling the truth that it was already fixed because anyone can take their animal to be microchipped at a lot of rescues for free.

Just trying to help the community. All cats trapped for TNR are RETURNED! That's what the R in TNR stands for! 🙄

Trapping tonight wasn't as successful as we had hoped. We caught 3 (out of the targeted 15) but most were hunkered down probably due to the heat or the fact there was lighting in the horizon. Which is why I try to schedule trapping 2 days before... We can try again tomorrow for Sat. We did catch 2 toms one we have been wanting to get for awhile due to numerous reports of him limping so we will be able to have that checked out. We also caught who we believe to be our new momma's sister so fingers crossed she doesn't deliver on my trap like her sister and will never have to know the danger and pain of having babies in the wild.

Please continue to refrain from feeding till after we finish trapping tomorrow.

Update on our trapped kitty Belle and her babies! Belle as in Bell from Saved By the Bell....

Of course we have Screech.... The little tabby rescued a few days before.
Then Zack the dark orange baby.
Kelly the Cream colored one and finally Lisa the White one cause she's "fancy". 🤣

I never watched the show but after a suggestion I had to look it up and when I read that Lisa had rich parents and often wore designer clothes I decided that was perfect for our stand out girl.

Everyone is gaining weight, I could not get momma to move out of the box for me to give her a fresh towel. While she was not wanting to be aggressive with me she did give some nips when I tried pushing her while I had gloves on. However I was able to pet her while she was eating her Pate. She loves her wet food and will eat it from the bowl while I am holding it and didn't even flinch when I scratched her ear while she was eating. She still gets hissy, but she is far from mean. Just loves her babies, however has no problems with me removing 1 at a time to weigh and check. She already knows I give them right back. ❤️

We do have the very corners of their eyes starting to crack too! They are a week old today!

We would like to extend our condolences to the family of Walda Baker. She was an avid cat lover and always wanted to open her own sanctuary. Family has been followers of ours and reached out asking if they could request donations in her memory be sent to us. Of course we said we appreciate that so so much. While we never had the pleasure of meeting her in person she seemed like such an amazing woman. I hope that we can continue in her memory to help the cats of our area and the people in our community too.

The cat pictured was adopted from a humane society.

Hey friends we are running low on Kitten Pate! Our usual rescue partner who lets us get canned food from them has run out and we have other canned food but the mush babies need Pate. It doesn't HAVE to be kitten formula altho it helps. We do add formula to their parents make up the nutrient difference in kitten and adult. We mainly need PATE... Not shreds, not grills... It's the easiest for the mush babies. If anyone would be willing to send us some! We have 4 mush babies and 4 other smaller kittens that do with Pate and of course Momma's babies in a few weeks will be starting on it too. We are also giving her as much canned food as we can get her to eat too and even kitten food to keep her supply going strong.

Ear Wiggle Wednesday!

Tricky little tricksters! They find anyway to reach you! 🤣

Should name this kitten Willa.... She screamed allllllllll night. 😅 Willa used to get BAD gas and would scream a lot at night for reference. However! Naomi and I have decided to name her Crackerjack! AND she let me know she DOES have tiny teefies so she is more like 3 weeks instead of 2. ❤️ Sooo Welcome Crackerjack! Hopefully she adjusts to being alone.

Urgent prayers for very sick baby!

We now have a cat treat machine for when we do adoption events! People can donate $.25c and get a few small treats to give to the kitties! Fun way to interact AND raise money! We will be at Louisburg Cider Mill on July 13! Don't know if we can have kitties there or not but will ask. But we will have some goodies available for donations to help raise money for the rescue. So please come show your support!

Kitties in training to be the next Meownager.... 🤣🤣

Who do I file a work place complaint to? I can't work under these conditions! 🙄🤣

Intake video.

Congrats to our winners! Cindy D. first place 2nd and 3rd places go to Helen W. And Rachel S!

Mary has things to say! 🤣

Someone needs to tell Candi that... 1. She is to old to be nursing... 2. That is not her momma! 3. She's almost as big as that cat. 🤣 Candi loves to snuggle and needs to find her new home! Her sister Valerie is pending adoption! Candi is quickly becoming a favorite at the cafe with the other kitties and staff. ❤️ She's at Second Cup Cat Cafe !

She said they were her army of kittens. She had I think 4 running after her for a bit. 🤣 The white one is Alexandrite and she was the most determined to keep up with Naomi. 🤣🤣

Official intake video! Still need names. 😅

Kittens kittens!

Intake newborns

Tigger is improving. Still doesn't do well with other cats all the time. But he is learning.

Harley from the Elks babies had to come back for bottle feeding because he wasn't doing well nursing on his own. He was just 119g when he returned to rescue Sat... He is now 212. 🤣 I believe he has imprinted on humans and craves that connection. He will be an amazing cat for someone when he gets older. ❤️
