Ivy and Friends

Ivy and Friends We are a small group located in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, focused on maintaining cat colonies in commercial areas. We are not currently a 501(c)(3).

We all started as volunteers with different rescues and shelters with backgrounds in colony set up and maintenance, TNR (Trap/Neuter/Release), socialization and special needs foster care. We are not a typical “rescue” as we do not take in and adopt out cats. Rather, if there are friendly cats, we rely on and have received support from local rescues and shelters who are set up to find homes for hom

eless cats. Our goal is to educate people how to set up housing and feeding in a safe, clean, controlled way in commercial locations. We also provide information on how to conduct TNR and utilize the resources available to insure that these cats are not adding to the cat population. In many of these settings, the cats are seen as the problem when the fact is they are very likely there because the location has a rodent problem. In exchange for housing and food, these cats will be healthy and will provide a service as rodent patrol while they remain out of sight for their sake and the sake of the business.

Today October 16th is National Feral Cat Day.

National Feral Cat Day is to celebrate and bring awareness about free roaming community cats and promote TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return). It has been proven to be the only humane way to reduce the population.
TNR also helps community cats live healthier, happier lives while not contributing to the population.
Join us today in the celebration of the lives of community cats by posting photos of your cats.

Meet Titan who resides in our third colony. He’s not an original to the colony. He showed up a few years back. We rarely see him in person but we catch him on our cams often. You can tell this boy has had a hard life He seems to be content living in the colony. He looks so much better than when he came.

Happy Saturday friends. You can always count on these two to be the first at the wet food pan.

Twin is such a character. He resides in our third colony. We feed in more than one spot since this is our largest property. When he sees us coming to feed he loves to follow us around. He has such a funny personality. Such a handsome boy.

It’s and we are in immediate need of dry and wet food to fill the bellies of 150+ cats. The colder months are upon us and the cats tend to start to eat more to prepare their bodies for the winter. Our battery supply has also been depleted. We use cameras to help keep a watchful eye on the cats for their safety.
For anyone who would like to help we are attaching our Walmart and Amazon links below.
