PLEASE advocate for the cats you TNR and care for.

This full underside shave IS NOT an OAC spay shave!

This girl came in today with her belly fully shaved from lower chest to hips. The hair regrowth could be anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks post surgery, maybe longer, and still not fully regrown for winter. Regrowth and recovery can depend on the cats health and care, some taking longer to fully regrow their coat.
We have had a mild winter and some sunny, warmer days but Salt Lake has had freezing or below freezing temps at night,
IT'S WINTER HERE!

THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR TNR OR ANY CAT WHO HAS TO LIVE OUTDOORS, THEY CAN DIE FREEZING TO DEATH.
The cats lose their body heat form their fully shaved underside, not to mention they have no protection from the snowy or wet weather.
They do not need, or do they deserve to suffer.

Please ask for verification of the facility's (or doctors prefered) surgery shaving procedures and if they understand the cat will be living outdoors, and are TNR/feral savvy. Show them pictures of what you expect for your cats. You are their voice. If they feel it's not your place or they prefer to fully shave your TNR cat, find another facility!

Kittens having kittens. We see it way too often. Spay your cat(s)!

Aside from the obvious benefit of population control, spaying a cat reduces her risk of mammary (breast) cancer by 25%, makes her less prone to urinary tract infections and prevents uterine cancers. It also prevents pyometra, a deadly infection of the uterus.

Cats are sexually mature by 4 MONTHS of age! ACT FAST before your kitten has kittens! Cats can also get pregnant while they are still nursing a litter. A cat can have multiple litters per year; there is no time to waste!

Constant reproduction wreaks havoc on a queen's body; it robs her body of nutrition and physically exhausts her. Sometimes, her body is not able to support the kittens and they're either born deformed, are stillborn or naturally aborted. Sometimes the queen dies from complications of the pregnancy or from multiple pregnancies.

A spayed cat is a healthier, happier cat. Please spay your cat before 4 months of age.

PLEASE start your TNR NOW and/or get your house cat fixed today...95% of females in our clinic the past 3 weeks have been pregnant or in heat as young as 5 months old, some didn't even have all their adult teeth in yet.
AND please do NOT leave or forget about the males, they deserve to have a happy and pain free life and MUST be neutered to help give them that.

We want to not only stop the massive amount of kittens, BUT save them from painful and fatal medical issues that come from being intact, along with medical care and treatments they need to live the happiest pain-free lives.

ALSO verify the veterinary facility you use take care NOT to shave too much as its still winter and cold. This also can be fatal for them.

OAC offers discounted, and if need free TNR, we can also cover Copays. We always give every cat a full check over and treat as needed, and discuss other needs and options.

PLEASE HELP!

Every year, about 100,000 dogs die because they ride in the back of trucks. And that’s just the number of dogs that die—even more get badly hurt.

Truck beds don’t protect dogs from the weather. On hot days, the metal floor can get so hot it burns their paws or skin. If a dog is left in the sun without water or shade, it can get heatstroke very quickly.

Even though dogs might look happy with the wind in their faces, dirt, dust, and other stuff in the air can hurt their eyes, ears, and lungs.

Never tie your dog to the truck bed. If the dog falls or jumps out, it could get strangled by the leash. This can happen in an accident or even if the dog just tries to jump out.

If your dog has to ride in the back of a truck, put it in a crate. Make sure the crate is tied down tightly so it can’t move around or fall out. This will help protect your dog from the wind and weather.

Keep your pets safe! 💙

The warmer weather predicted for the next couple weeks are going to push cats even further into heat and breeding. We have seen an increase with the cats already, it's only going to get worse with the warmer sunny days coming.

Please start planning your trapping today, communicating with caregiver/feeders, trap training, setting a feeding schedule, monitoring and counting cats at the colony & securing appointments.

You can email us @ [email protected] to discuss setting up full TNR days or look for and schedule one or two spots at a time thru our acuity link https://orchardanimaloutreach.org/communityferal-cats.html

OAC offers TNR days for larger colony's, it's the best chance of colony containment. With donations thru OAO we can offer help covering the cost and or copays.

Best Friends still offers TNR vouchers for areas not covered by SLC Animal Services, a minimum copay of $20 will apply to each voucher, and can be used at listed facilities.
https://bestfriends.org/salt-lake-city/help-services/caring-community-cats

Options are available if you are willing to put in some effort, if you feed them you MUST fix them.

Just a reminder ALL cats in for TNR get a medical check over and care.

HAPPY TRAPPING!!!

Meet Odysseus...This hunk has had a hard time and life has been a struggle, as it is with most outdoor cats. Lucky for him a very nice caregiver @kitties_at_work noticed and took action. His life will be so much better. He is older, missing most of his teeth and had teeth, tissue & gum damage from foxtails lodged in his gums/teeth. This is very painful and likely caused him to stop grooming ending up with him being very matted and full of foxtails and thorns all over in the mats and imbedded in his skin. Now after his "spa" day, he is neutered, vaccinated, cleaned up and pain free. Life on the streets is hard, these cats did not ask for it nor do they deserve this, instances like this is exactly why we always advocate for all feral/community cats have a dedicated caregiver, also if you feed them you MUST FIX THEM. Another reminder.... time is running out to have ferals shaved or groomed here in Utah. They must have time to regrow their coat before the cold sets in. OAC will usually stop shaving at the end of August.

Earl and Flint brother wrestle match!!! #catsofinstagram #brothers #spayandneuter

Brother wrestling.

Little guy likes to run around and play then come up for a snacky before getting back to it. He's doing great, still need to find a name for him. For those who are new, this little guy and his six siblings were caught in a field fire. Oac took the 3 with the worse burns, this little guy his brother Sparky and other brother Flint who is fostered by @rivercatrescue All are doing great!!

Graphic.. this guy came I today when his caregiver noticed swelling behind his ear. Observant Caregivers are necessary for the wellbeing of any feral cat. This abscess if left untreated could have not only caused much pain but actually be fatal. Feral cat Experienced, affordable veterinary care is also needed in our communities. Shades community cat sanctuary.

One of today's surgerys 6-7 month female cat, very small and thin, likely because her body was trying to keep her alive with this infection growing in her. Pyometras can be totally prevented with early spay. * This is a small pyometra, they can get very large, like really large, filled with pus. If not removed they slowly kill the cat and or explode inside her releasing all that infection into her body, usually always fatal. Spay and neuter now, no excuses. Please.
