Wow, what a day! You never know how successful you’ll be; kitties can be so unpredictable. Today was a good day! Add another 6 to the count of cats that won’t be reproducing! 🎉🎉🙀🙌

There are few feelings greater than coming home, and every lost or displaced cat deserves that chance. That's why Alley Cat Allies advocates for every cat to be microchipped and for immediate microchip scanning protocols in animal shelters and veterinary clinics.

Winter weather reminder

💨 COLD WEATHER REMINDER 💨 The north wind will be blowing tonight! Please be mindful of outdoor animals that may seek refuge in your car wheel wells and engine.

"As the outdoor temperatures start to drop, cats will hide under car hoods for protection and warmth.
Use caution when you start your car in the cold winter months ahead. If cats are left outside, they may climb under the car hood for protection from the cold. Before you climb into your car, slap the hood or open it for a quick look around."
– Friends of Arlington (TX) Animal Services (FAAS)

Free webinar on building outdoor shelters.

Join us for a FREE webinar on November 13 to learn how to build 4 different kinds of simple shelters to protect feral and stray community cats from harsh winter weather!

Design #4: Deluxe Simple Ice Chest Shelter
This design really only requires a plastic ice chest cooler and an entry hole. The cooler is made of heavy-duty insulation sandwiched between layers of plastic, so it's warm and waterproof. The material can be cut using an ordinary kitchen knife. These coolers are usually on sale in colder months, just when the cats need them.

This is the sad reality for homeless cats, especially the ones who are not being cared for by a colony manager. Please at least try to get all of the cats you are feeding spayed/neutered so you can be part of the solution. 💕

Please consider a senior cat. They still have lots of love to give ♥️

Next time you're looking for a new feline friend, please consider adopting a senior cat!

Most everyone wants a cute little kitten, the kind that will fit in the palm of your hand. Many want a young adult that still acts like a kitten but doesn't have the energy of a kitten. Few want a senior because they tend to be more laid back. So many senior cats that find themselves at the shelter are there through no fault of their own. Perhaps their owner could no longer take care of them, had to move to a facility and couldn't take them or passed away. (Sometimes, the owner just wants a kitten and turns the senior cat over to a shelter and then goes out and adopts a kitten. Don't get us started on those people.) These cats end up at the shelter, heartbroken and homeless. They still need someone to love and they still want a home of their own. Please consider being their savior. They still have lots of love to give. The next time you're at the shelter, please consider a senior cat.

Our work continues on a large colony. 4 more on their way to the vet. 12 of 15 cats have been checked off the list.

Keep in mind how often cats groom themselves so any chemical they step on or rub up against could be ingested.

They were someone’s cat. Now they fight to survive another day on the street with winter approaching. A victim with no voice and no choice.it’s not their fault they had an irresponsible guardian .
We do what we can for these babies to help them survive another day.

Please be careful with your pets

A PSA for our neighbors and community: be on the alert for coyotes! There have been several recent attacks on dogs and cats in our surrounding area.
With winter around the corner and coyotes becoming more aggressive in their search for food this is a serious concern for pet parents. Coyotes share our environment and have a natural right to be here, but as their habitats shrink due to human expansion, they increasingly seek food in residential areas.
Coyotes are clever; they may use play behavior to lure loose dogs—of all sizes—into wooded areas where their pack waits in ambush. They can also outrun cats and have been known to wait days for a cat to descend from a tree, often with heartbreaking results. The DCSPCA urges pet owners to keep their animals indoors unless supervised, as even a short time outside, even in a fenced yard, can pose a risk.
Coyotes aren’t to blame for this behavior, but it’s up to us to keep our beloved pets safe.
