We couldn’t let the month end without shouting out our rescue partners who stepped up for our cats in September!

Thanks to these partners, 140 cats will never see the streets again!

Our work is only possible because of the rescues that take on our cats so that they don’t have to be released, we appreciate you and so do our cats 🧡

On Tuesday we held our monthly community event!

Since it’s Halloween 🎃 week, we decided to get a little extra festive!

Everyone who came in got trick-or-treat bags that had goodies for both them 🍭 and their kitties 🐈‍⬛

Attached to every bag was a flyer for our awesome partners The Bridge Clinic that included a QR code for easy access to scheduling appointments. We discussed with everyone not only the speciality services that they offer but also the importance of wellness care & vaccines, all of which TBC can offer at a low cost while also providing quality & compassionate care ❤️🐾🐈

TCC icon Big Flora here to wish everyone a Happy National Cat Day 🧡

Whether your cats are indoor, outdoor, friendly, or feral - they are all special and deserve to be celebrated 😻

Don’t forget, the best way to celebrate your feline friends is to get them fixed so they can live their healthiest lives!

A big thank you to Kitty Cottage Adoption Center for donating much needed carriers! Not only didn they intake some of our awesome kitties today they sent one of our trappers back with 11 carriers!

Our work with Last Chance Ranch has helped us get several amazing cats and kittens moved out of the city and into permanent forever homes. Thank you to last chance for helping our kitties and doing tnr work in your area!

Happy Community Cat Day!
We would like to introduce Sally & her Great Little Pumpkins Pig-Pen, Peppermint Patty, & Charlie Brown. This mama and her kittens came to us from one of our amazing rescue partners . We have had the opportunity to work with TCC over the last few years and we are so thankful for all the hard work they have put in to help cats in our community. We are able to work together with TCC by taking in adoptable cats they find while helping the ferals in our surrounding areas. A litter like Sally's would've grown up on the street and likely become feral as well had TCC and LCR not been able to partner up and get them into a loving foster home! This sweet family is ready to start their new life in this great big world. Sally & her kittens are available for adoption, please fill out an application if you're interested in any of our animals at lastchanceranch.org.

It’s National Feral Cat Day! 🐈‍⬛

There are so many ways you can help your local feral cats! You should ALWAYS fix them, you can feed them, & in the winter they really appreciate warm insulated shelters!

We are still working diligently to get our supplies sourced for our shelter building workshop and what better way to celebrate national feral cat day then to help us help them!

Please consider sending an item from our shelter wishlist or making a monetary donation towards our supplies! Once we have everything we need, a date will be set and you are all invited!

Our National Feral Cat Day picture features Scrappy, a feral grumpy old man that was trapped by one of our volunteers earlier this year! He wasn’t thrilled about being inside but he had some really rotten teeth that we got all fixed up for him! He stayed with us while he recovered and was released back to the place he’s happiest & calls home! While we often struggle with putting cats back out, we know it’s what he wanted and that we made him much more comfortable before going back out! 🩶 Shelters benefit cats like him who would never thrive indoors but could use a little extra help outdoors!

It’s almost that time of year!

It’s time for us to start sourcing our materials for our shelter building workshop 🔨

We made 195 shelters last year and we’d love to surpass that this year!

We really need supplies to start planning! The more supplies we have, the more shelters we can build!

Please consider sending an item or two off of our wishlist link below or making a monetary donation so we can buy applies - every donation helps keep the homeless cats & kittens warm during the coldest time of year ❄️

📣 October Spotlight Cat of the Month 📣

In our line of work, we sometimes find ourselves trying to place cats that are a bit difficult behaviorally but have nowhere safe to return to. We are going to start featuring a cat each month that’s been waiting a while for somewhere soft to land!

Our first cat of the month is 🧡 Julia 🧡

Her story is heartbreaking and we understand why she behaves the way she does but it does make it challenging to find a safe place for her to go.

Julia is seeking placement with a rescue or sanctuary that can accommodate her needs OR she could be adopted or fostered by someone experienced with behavioral issues.

If you know of any organizations or individuals that could help Julia - please email [email protected] for more information!
