Tucson Feral and Stray Project - TNR/Rescue

11/29/2024

I’m GRATEFUL for those who use the effective practices of TNR, Community Cat management, and rescue work🐈‍⬛

Thankful for ALL who spend their last dollars on cat food and showed up ECERDAY for their kitties

…to making shelters, helping the sick and injured, those who need rescuing, and TNR’d.

So many fewer CATS and KITTENS will suffer because of those who care to make a difference🙌

🚨🚨🚨REMINDER: as the WEATHER is getting COLDER and hitting FREEZNG temps🌨️❄️☃️there are CATS, KITTENS🐈and even other animals🦔🦝🐿️ SEEKING shelter INSIDE the ENGINE compartments of PARKED vehicles. As the TEMPERATURES continue to drop, PLEASE be AWARE that any wild or domestic FELINE can SEEK REFUGE from the COLD and in a ENGINE compartment of the hood🚘

IF you PARK outside, PLEASE remember to BANG🥁 on the HOOD of your car BEFORE you START it… And while you’re at it, check UNDER the FENDERS on the TOP of your TIRES called the wheel walls🛞

ANIMALS trapped UNDER HOODS hoods CAN get INJURED or DIE if they CANNOT escape BEFORE the VEHICLE is STARTED 🆘

IF you are NOT able to PARK your CAR in a garage, TRY to get in the HABIT of doing a QUICK CHECK for CATS before you START the ENGINE. Community Cats especially will SEEK WARMTH by SITTING between the ENGINE and the HOOD🚗

🚘 BEFORE STARTING your CAR, TAP or KNOCK on your HOOD loudly and HONK your horn🔊 This should WAKE UP up the ANIMAL and hopefully give it TIME to ESCAPE.

IF you SEE frequent ANIMALS that are coming AROUND or around your CAR, you SHOULD definitely TAKE precautions because once you START that ENGINE and those BELTS start going, you can quickly INJURE an animal.

ANIMALS can TUCK themselves into TIGHT SPACES, so WAIT a FEW minutes to MAKE SURE any HUDDEN animal has TIME to CLIME out. You CAN also OPEN your HOOD and DOUBLE CHECK for any animal stowaways🐈

SADLY many CATS that are considered COMMUNITY CATSor indoor/outdoor cats can be DISPLACED in a AREA that is foreign to them.

IF you are DRIVING and happen to HEAR something that could be an animal YOWLING in pain or CLAWNG to ESCAPE or if you SEE or SMELL anything weird in your ENGINE compartment, STOP as SOON as it is SAFE to do so and CONTACT your LOCAL SHELTER, RESCUE or EMERGENCY VET🏥

Remembrance/Veteran’s Day Military Cats

While we rightly honor the bravery and dedication of our human service members, there is another group of courageous veterans often overlooked —the cats who have fought and served along side of them.

Throughout history cats have played vital roles in military operations, providing everything from essential rodent control on naval ships to loyal companionship for isolated troops. These feline veterans have braved the front lines, endured the hardships of war, and formed unbreakable bonds with the soldiers who depended on them.

Here's something to think about: Kitten season started about six months ago. Cats can become sexually mature at just four months of age, so kittens who were born at the beginning of kitten season are now old enough to have their OWN kittens 🙀

Today is NATIONAL BLACK CAT DAY… HAPPY National Black Cat Day🐈‍⬛🐾🐈‍⬛

BLACK CATS often spend a longer amount time in rescues or shelters and represent about one-third of their intake population.

While their mystique may make them a favorite of the Halloween season, there is plenty to be done to love, care for, and protect black cats year-round.

CONTACT your LOCAL SHELTER and RESCUE to ask about donating, volunteering, fostering, or when you are ready, adopt a kitty or even a SPECIAL Black Kitty 🖤

National Black Cat Day is a day that celebrates the love we have for our beautiful, sleek black cats with their all-knowing green and yellow eyes 🐈‍⬛

BLACK CATS have so much LOVE to give, but because of stereotypes, they’re often the target of cruel practices around Halloween. Keeping them indoors on days leading up to and on Halloween is critical to their safety.

Hey CATS have RIGHTS too and appreciate them HOLDING UP signs to eat more CHIKN or DOGS… or wearing MAGA HATS to SLOGAN that CAT LIVES MATTER or MAKE ALL CATS SAFE AGAIN🙌

political agenda… cause I’m just here for the CATS🐈🐾🐈‍⬛

PLEASE FIX MOMMA CAT TOO

Please don’t take kittens away from their mom… Watch and wait. The absolute best source of nourishment and care for a neonatal kitten is with it’s mom. (that is if these kittens had full bellies, meaning that the mother was recently around.)

These kittens are safe but this situation presents a host of difficulties and added work for already stretched-too-thin animal welfare personnel and volunteers. Not only is a bottle-feeder or surrogate mom required for the kittens but the mother is still out there, able to reproduce again. Better to keep the family together, let mom do her thing for her kittens and then take her for TNR once the kittens are weaned.

OKEASE remember, kittens wouldn’t be in this situation if the parents were spayed and neutered.

SHARED from the PHILLY BULLY TEAM🐾

Not even trying to be funny right now.

Is there were ever a case for people to stop breeding their dogs it’s this.

She has TEN puppies to take care of. They now have teeth and claws that they use when they’re nursing on her and they’re getting bigger every day.

Mom is eating 8-10 cups of food a day and not gaining any much needed weight (her ribs are showing) because the puppies are taking every ounce of nutrition she takes in.

She sleeps on top of this crate because she actually just can’t stand being around her puppies anymore. And I don’t blame her.

But she has to tough it out for another week or so even though it’s painful, even though she’s uncomfortable, even though she has no energy for herself.

If she had a choice, I can say with confidence that she would NOT have chosen to get pregnant and birth all these dogs.

I feel so bad for her. I’ve started the puppies on their own food, but instinctually— they prefer to nurse on their mom and there’s not much I can do to help her.

PLEASE STOP BREEDING your DOGS and get them FIXED…
