After close to 8 weeks she is finally Home!! Snowball got out at Wye River on Sportmans Neck rd. She was seen a couple times just days after, never again seen. We had a couple possible sightings. We brought out a drone after a couple weeks no luck, getting frustrated after having feeding stations, 7 traps and 4 cameras set all over and still nothing. Decided at 4 or week 5 to get Nighthawk Drone Service from Hanover PA back out to put the drone up again at 3am in the morning. Dallas found her in the cornfield, within 5 minutes of setting up, where I thought she might be. Had her on the drone camera then had to come down for battery change, never saw her again, not going to traps...NOTHING! I had to leave for Wyoming this past week, reset two cameras, pulled traps, set only a few feeding stations where we thought and hoped she might be.
While I was in Wyoming Emily kept feeding stations stocked. While here in Wyoming I finally got an alert on my phone, she was at the feeding station. Got Emily to set traps again. Next night Snowball visited again, went into one trap, but reached over trip plate, they forgot to put cardboard on floor of trap. Snowball came back 3 more times that night but did not attempt to go in trap. So tonight we changed traps, moved other camera, traps to where Snowball came out, left other camera and traps were they were. She came at 9:05 and went right into the trap she tried the night before! In A short time she was back Home!!
Everyone wanted to give up, I couldn't, I knew we would get Snowball eventually, And We Did!

Thank you Emily, Dallas with Night Hawk Drone Service! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093136050554&mibextid=ZbWKwL

Long read, but worth it!!! I THANK YOU Janice R Richard for caring enough to write this!!
PLEASE SHARE, let’s educate!!

Cats allowed to roam:

As a rescuer, you have asked me to search and help locate your cat who is allowed to roam. He goes out after dinner, but he's always home before dark. Always. Until he doesn't. I have searched.

Sadly, I am now at your door with some very sad news. I have found......the remains of your cat. Since seeing this over and over, I can say he was killed by a coyote, as they are more plentiful in your neighborhood. However, could have been a fisher. They eviscerate their prey. Usually, not much is left to identify, but in this case, the face was clearly visible for ID purposes.

At this point, you are crying and in pain. Yes, I have compassion for that.... but if I am honest, my sadness, pain and pity is for your cat. It was the cat that had to endure being stalked and killed in a fairly vicious manner. It's rarely a quick death. Some cats put up a decent fight, but in most cases....the battle is lost. Imagine the terror they must endure. They are not aware of this danger when YOU let them outside and allow them to freely roam. Yet YOU are aware. You have to be. With all the education, postings, notices that are put out on all types of sites on Facebook and other social media's.... you have to be aware of that fact. And you still open the door.... and put them outside.

Yes, there are some cats that simply cannot be kept indoors. However. There are other methods of letting them out and keeping them secure. Catios. Harness, leash. If you yourself have a large screened in porch? Replace the screening with pet screening, add some enrichment for the cat, ie: cat tree's, toys, games.... You have now protected your pet.

GPS collars are not protection. Let me say this louder so the people way down in the back can hear. GPS COLLARS ARE NOT PROTECTION!! Do you think a coyote or fisher could care less if your cat has a GPS device around it's neck? Makes no difference to them.... I have found many collars in my time... break aways, and some ripped off. I have found "kill sites".

Coyotes, particularly, are living amongst us. We are encroaching on their living spaces/lands, so our backyards are becoming their hunting grounds. And, if we continually supply them with cats allowed to roam... well... the outcome could be devasting for those cats. And sometimes, you'll just never ever know what happened. One evening, they just never return again. No signs, no sightings, no nothing. Gone.

But sadly.... I am here at your door... telling you all this. While we are talking, your other cat runs past us to the outdoors. I look at you. Through your tears, you tell me, yes... she is allowed to be outside too. And after all I have just told you.... after all the tears.....after knowing how your poor cat was ripped apart for food.... you are still going to allow your cat(s) to roam. But you love them. Really??? Love is not allowing your animal to roam and become bait or succumb to any of the many dangers out there for cats. Love is doing whatever it takes to keep them safe. That.... that is love for your pet.

We are very excited for this new Program!

We have several cats that need a foster forever home. If you know an elderly individual, that needs a companion, that is capable to take care of a cat.
We will provide the cat, (pictures of some below) any supplies needed, medical care and a volunteer that will stop in weekly to check on foster and cat.

PLEASE JOIN US AS A VOLUNTEER TO HELP WITH THIS PROGRAM OR AS A FOSTER.
