Our very sweet River, is looking for that someone special to give this very wonderful kitty a loving home of his own. River does have some medical needs, but nothing has slowed this amazing cat down. #cancerwarrior #fivwarrior #workingtogetherinrescue #preciouskitty #onceabandonednowloved #rescuewithoutprejudice #spayandneuteristhesolution
This morning both Lulu and River had appointments at Millville Vet. Lulu is getting ready for an up and coming surgery and River had a check up. Stay tuned, details coming soon.
Forest Castaway
This castaway we call Talkative Tabby. This cat has a tipped ear and was abandoned in the forest. It is believed that he is friendly yet shy. We donāt know yet. We still have to capture him and heās proven very hard to trap. Iām sharing this video that was taken this morning by Sharonone of the on-site monitors. She reported what the conditions are, and if any new cats have been seen. This morning a truly heartbreaking video of a cat thatās soaking wet, struggling to find shelter and is hungry came to our attention. Iām sharing this with you all not to make you feel badly, but rather so you understand the challenges that a rescuer faces. It is an uphill battle trying to stop the ugly cycle that we all work so hard to change. Please promote spay and neuter everywhere you go and responsible pet ownership. There are other options available rather than taking and dumping unwanted cats. Sadly so many of the cats at this location disappear before we are able to save them. I know that several people are going to comment and want to know what are the plans for this cat. Our plan as with all of the cats is to get them to safety. Volunteer time, funding and housing are our largest obstacles. If youāre interested in helping, please let us know. We canāt do anything without your help. Thank you to everyone who cares. #choosecompassion #spayandneuteristhesolution #forestcastaways
River enjoying a show
I decided to send the Sheep back into the KittyCatCottages area to start early maintenance of the seasonal grasses. River is staying in the rescue cottage while waiting for either a home or a new foster and he definitely had entertainment this morning during morning cleaning time.
Remember the plight of this kitty, Stash. Living in a colony with an injured leg is not an easy task. We are glad to tell you heās doing very well and is mending very nicely. #suportyourlocalcatrescue #tnrworks #bekind #spayandneuteryourpets #northstategives #shastacountycalifornia #ReddingCalifornia
We are actively in the process of removing 3 cats abandoned in a very cold, remote forest North of Redding. A brown tabby, a calico, and a siamese. Itās a misnomer that these areas known as āsanctuariesā are safe places for cats where they are taken care of. This is one of those areas that has been known by locals over the years as a sanctuary space for cats. It is not. It never was! It is federal land. The cats are not welcome. It is a dangerous place for them and us. We have struggled to bring these cats to safety and sadly often we are too late. For those that are removed safely we look for a home that they may have been stolen from, we provide medical care and shelter, clean water and food and give them cozy bedding creating a warm soft place for their tired bodyās to decompress. Please help us help them. Friends, your donations are life saving. No donation is too small. #northstatecatcoalition #northstategives #GivingTuesday #nsgt24 #spayneutersaveslives #dontabandonyouranimals #suportyourlocalcatrescue #microchipyourpets #shastacountycalifornia
River had a very special visitor today! Harmony is the one person who went out, at night to find this cat who was at deathās door after seeing his post on social media. Itās been over a year and our River has been through quite a lot and has continued to surprise us at every turn. This young cat is so deserving, all of us at Northstate Cat Coalition are hoping for a holiday miracle for River. Help us find River a home of his own.
These are but a few of the Former Forest Castaways. Some live at the sanctuary, some have been adopted into homes and some have been transferred to outside of area shelters. There are many still seeking new homes. We constantly are working at trying to resolve the issue that has created an atmosphere where people are dumping so many animals. This is no easy task and is quite expensive. We have many missions ranging from the forest to the city, from Shasta County and into northern Tehama County. Our pantry needs to be stocked up again for winter as well as our medical fund. If you have cat food to donate give us a shout out. Please visit our FB page. Thank you all so much for supporting our missions.
Lulu, found abandoned in the forest with her siblings was the healthiest, but is actually going to need some extra medical help. Diagnosed with a polyp in her ear growing into her soft palate as well as a narrow jaw with advancing gingivitis. Part of this is because as a young kitten, she was very sick with viruses. The good news is she is FeLV and FIV negative! When she gets spayed the polyp can be removed and an x-ray can be taken to determine if the teeth should be pulled out or not. #supportyourlocalcatrescue #northstatecatcoalition #spayneuterandmicrochip #catrescuestories #choosecompassion #spayingandneuteringsaveslives #reddingca #opttoadopt
Itās the end of an era! All of Billās cats are finally safe. The last 6 were successfully trapped. Some of you may remember the story about a year ago of these cats who lost their person very tragically, and just as tragically they lost their home as it was bulldozed to the ground. Most recently there was a kitty who is called Stash by the colony manager Sharon. Stash had a severely injured leg and we knew it was time for him and the rest of the cats to be removed. They were in an increasingly dangerous situation. Stash was one of the cats trapped tonight. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all for your support, it means the difference between life and death for so many cats and kittens. We couldnāt do what we do without your help. #supportyourlocalcatrescue #choosecompassion #supportyourlocalcatlady #spayandneuteryourpets #tnrworks #northstatecatcoalition
