Spays and neuters save more lives than rescue. Think proactive. Act proactive. Be proactive.

Could you or someone you know use some extra cash? We are looking for a person or persons wanting to make a few bucks transporting cats to and from the vet. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday depending on driver availability. Please message or comment for more information.
Need some help! 3 cats abandoned in an apartment in Oakland, NE. The apartment isn’t suitable for humans to live. The Oakland police department is absolutely no help. A neighbor took the cats to his apartment because the cats were screaming and without food. There are no shelter services in Burt County. No shelter, no police help, no nothing. Just throw them out on the street or leave them in the apartment to die. That’s the attitude of the city of Oakland. Red Barn vet in Oakland would take them but someone has to pay for their vetting.
ANIMAL CONTROL IS GOVERNMENTS RESPONSIBILITY
These cats are use to being outside. Any one looking for tame farm cats?? They will be spayed and neutered!
🐈⬛🐈 WHEN A KITTEN MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE… ❤️🌷🧶🐈🐈⬛

Shout out to Dodge County Humane Society, Fremont, NE. Thank you for helping these kitties today.
For the love of all that is good in the world! PLEASE SPAY and neuter your cats. This girl with 8 babies is exhausted!
The Manx kitten’s story is one that isn’t pleasant, but needs to be told from start to finish now that we have a final ending.
5 little kittens were born to a mostly tame, Manx mother named Bob on April 20th. Bob was an outside cat in need of TNR. TNR isn’t always pleasant. The satisfaction and joy gained in this work is seeing the transformation that occurs in spayed and neutered cats. Unless one has experienced the positive change, it’s hard to understand. The unpleasant parts prior to spay and neuter are illness, disease, suffering and death especially to the kittens.
75% of kittens born outside die.
This is a fact.
These kittens suffer greatly. We wish we could unsee what we have seen.
The mother’s suffer as well. Babies stuck with feet hanging out of the birth canal. Babies stuck to mom’s tail as she drags them along. Mom’s that abandon the babies after birth because mom can’t feed herself much less babies. Infected uterus causing sepsis and death of the mother.
We advise caregivers to spay regardless of pregnancy for the health of the mother and to prevent the babies from suffering. However, it is caregiver’s choice after being advised of all the issues and potential problems.
Bob the Manx mother became septic after delivery from an infected uterus. This means the babies were living in infection until they were born. Bob received a quite costly emergency spay to save her life, but she could no longer care for the babies. If people were not around to help, Bob and all the babies would have died, which most of them died anyway.
One kitten was born paralyzed in the back legs and died within 24 hours. Two other kittens succumb to the infection they were born with over the course of the first 3 weeks of their lives. 2 kittens, Paris and Smokey, remained and were raised successfully by Danielle Anderson. She poured her heart and soul into these babies. Paris, however doesn’t have a happy ending. Her Manx condition left her with with f***l incontenence. She pooped uncontrollably, had a chronic sore rear end, and would occasionally prolapse. She was humanely euthanized to end her pain.
Smokey finally went to his forever home this week. A small victory in the scope of the bigger picture.
6 cats. Mom and one baby survived because we intervened, but 4 babies suffered and died. Many will disagree, but these babies should not have been born to suffer and die.
This ordeal cost close to $2000. A simple spay prior to delivery at a cost of $200 would have prevented pain and suffering, not only the cats but also their foster mom. We hurt for her and can’t make the pain go away.
Please hit the donate button if you would like to help with costs and bring Paris’s ashes back to Danielle.
This sweet baby needs a home! Who can help us out??
Who would like to foster a mother cat that just had 8 kittens? Yes 8!
2 kittens available! 2 spoken for!
We have 4 sweet, loving, and fun tabby boys! Male tabbies can be the most docile and loving cats, more so than female cats. These boys were raised in a home with their mother and have learned all the proper social skills. They come neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped! Please share!
More kittens! 4 girls and 4 boys. Spayed or neutered this week and ready for new homes! These babies are sweet as pie. Born in a home to a healthy mother. They come spayed or neutered, age appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, and microchipped. Please share!
Thank you everyone! You are amazing people! All of the kittens have found homes! However, we have more coming!
We have 6 little kittens almost 3 months old that are in desperate need of homes. They are spayed or neutered, age appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, flea tick protection, and microchipped. Donation fees to help cover vetting costs are drastically reduced to get these babies in a home. Please share!! 3 boys 3 girls.
Let’s talk about cat hoarding. Many people are unaware of the basic truths that create and perpetuate a cat hoarding situation.
1. Accumulation of cats can happen to ANYONE.
2. NO ONE decides to become a cat hoarder.
3. NO ONE wants to BE a cat hoarder.
4. Cat Hoarding can begin with just ONE FEMALE cat.
5. Cat hoarding begins with an individual responding to a homeless and hungry cat.
6. Cat hoarding becomes a mental health issue for many different reasons.
7. The cost to spay and neuter is prohibitive for the individual once the first litter is born.
8. One female cat will produce 14 kittens annually. Half will be females that will begin producing 14 kittens annually at 4-6 months of age.
9. Cats can overwhelm an individual in less than a year.
10. Giving kittens away is difficult.
11. Shelters and rescues are full.
Just helping a person spay that one female stray cat that showed up hungry on the door step, you could prevent the next 64 cat hoarding situation. Help your neighbor or family member get their cat(s) spayed or neutered. Make sure it gets done.
“If you can’t afford the cat you should not have one” - this statement has never done nor will ever do anything to stop the overpopulation of cats. The solution begins with each one of us. Sponsor a cat spay or neuter. Once a month perhaps. For a family member or a neighbor perhaps. Just do it.
We are faced with these situations daily. We have to tell people that we can’t help them because we don’t have the funds. We need funding to help get that stray female spayed before she multiplies. Spays and Neuters save more lives than rescue!!
Update: we are removing the photos from this post.
The hoard of 64 cats…. We can no longer be silent. Pictured below: One of many piles of cat f***s and a few of the dead kittens found randomly throughout the house.
There are more cats at the property. The house has not been cleaned up. The resident will not allow us to trap and spay / neuter the remaining cats.
We have the donated funds set aside to spay and neuter the rest of the cats once we are allowed to do so. Please send financial donations to Catz Angels Care in Fremont for the continued care of the sick and injured.
We will not allow another 64 cats to be produced. Please know we are working to stop the death and destruction with local law enforcement.
He found a home!
This little muffin was found on the side of the road. He was dumped along with at least one sibling that has also been found.
How can we stop this practice of “dumping” animals? Answer: decrease the number of unwanted animals through spay and neuter.
Yes, it’s that simple!! Remove the source of unwanted animals.
Many rural areas across Nebraska do not have low cost vet care and sheltering services. Burt County is a perfect example.
15 cats spayed and neutered today!
Received this message today. Location is Blair. We will update the cats vaccinations and make sure he is healthy. There is no place for this cat to go. Please share.
Someone dumped this guy across the street from Cargill. A lady I know has been feeding him for the past two weeks. I put out a post to see if someone was looking for him, but no response. He has been in indoor kitty and is sweet. Do you know of anyone who could take him? He is neutered.
Brother and sister pairs! 9 weeks old and full of love and entertainment! Ready for permanent inside homes!
Gwen and her kittens are visiting the Completely Cat Clinic today. Gwen has the longest whiskers and her children are cuteness overload! In a few weeks mom and babies will be ready for permanent homes.
Kittens are with NALA rescue! Thank you Nebraska’s Animal Loving Advocates! These babies need some help finding an inside home! Cici and Goldy, brother and sister, 10 weeks old. They are spayed and neutered, age appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, flea tick prevention, and microchipped. We ask a donation of their vetting costs. They are fantastic little kittens. Kid friendly, and a heck of a good deal! Please share! Located between Mead and Wahoo.
Pending!
Paris and Smokey, the Manx kittens (tail-less) are ready to find a home. They were bottle fed from two days old and are the sweetest kittens ever! Please contact us for more information!
This sweet calico girl is looking for a home along with her brother (bottom) and sister (top). These kittens are spunky, kid friendly, and ready for an inside home! They come spayed or neutered, age appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, flea tick prevention and microchipped!
Ask for want you want they say. This maybe a long shot, but we NEED help with transportation to and from Beatrice Humane Society’s spay / neuter clinic. Mondays and Thursdays. Transport legs are Fremont to Wahoo, Wahoo to Lincoln, Lincoln to Beatrice, and the reverse for pick up. Do we have any followers willing and that have the time to help? We cannot get all the cats in need spayed and neutered fast enough and need to utilize the Beatrice clinic on a regular basis. Please share and let’s see if we can make this happen!
Cats are amazing. This spectacular girl was returned to her outside home within 8 hours after spay surgery. She was released where she was trapped. Within 5 minutes of release she is trotting through the neighborhood with a ground squirrel in her mouth. The process of TNvR is safe. The clinic process used is designed to allow safe same day release. The Mead Mamma Cat can now provide effective rodent control and enjoyed by the people who watch her living her best life without the production of more kittens. “More Kittens”, when put together, these two words are the worst in all of animal sheltering and rescue. Let’s help keep to a minimum!
My feed. Intentionally breeding kittens in one post. The next post a rescuer… something is not right with this picture.

Itsy Bitsy needed a little encouragement to feel safe going home to the cat condo. Video continues in the comments.
She said yes!
Cricket is going home! Thank you Carmen Lynn!
Update: These babies have all passed away. Kittens are extremely fragile. They cannot get cold. They need to eat every 1-2 hours around the clock. Once a newborn gets cold it’s hard to bring them back. Their bodies begin to shut down. Kittens born outside this time of year do not have a high survival rate even when they have a mother. Mother’s have a hard time keeping them warm in cold temperatures. These babies were outside too long before they were found. 5 orphaned kittens found in a yard next to their deceased mother. She passed away during delivery. Sounds like North Bend needs to start a TNR program. 8 cats spayed and neutered today and the day ends with an emergency rescue. Every day is progress.
Come feel the experience! Working Cat Project Bake Sale today! River’s Edge Vintage, Decatur Nebraska.
Flurrie came to us with urinary issues. An X-ray today showed he has a kidney stone that requires surgery. Another $800. Our funds are depleted. We have had three $1000 cats recently, Ophelia the leukemia cat, Bruce the FIP cat and now Flurrie. Ophelia and Bruce did not survive. Yes, that is correct $2000 spent and the cats could not be saved. Ophelia was an owned cat we helped spay. Bruce was a stray. Flurrie was surrendered to us to give him a better life. He has that life now, but needs this surgery. We hate to continually ask for help. If you can spare a few dollars Flurrie could certainly use it.

📣📣 CALL TO ACTION 📣📣 Found in Lyons, Nebraska. This is what can happen to female cats that become pregnant at 4-6 months of age and again when the babies are weened. Cats can have up to 5 heat cycles in one season. We typically see cats having 3-4 litters per year in the Midwest. This poor animal gave everything she had to feed her young with no medical care and poor nutrition at her own expense. She is weak, but her spirit is strong. We have no idea where her last litter might be. A lack of spaying and neutering causes a tremendous amount of needless suffering. Let’s do better!!! Voice your opinion to your local and state legislator. Tell them about the work we are doing and the first spay / neuter ordinance in the state to pass in Lyons, NE!! Use the link below to find your legislator and send an email. https://nebraskalegislature.gov/senators/senator_find.php
Adopted!! We need your help once again! Sweet Casey needs a forever home 🏡 ❤️ She was found May 25th trying to get in the Casey’s gas station in Arlington, Nebraska. This loving little girl is 6 months old at least but weighs not quite 5 pounds! She a tiny girl! 🌷🐈 She came to us with severe internal and external parasites. Yuck! She would not have survived unless treated immediately. 🥰 Casey is curious and playful. She loves attention. We know there is a family or individual that needs Casey as much as she needs them!! Please share!!! Let’s get this girl home!! 😊🌷🐈⬛ She ❤️ other cats by the way!
In celebration of Pet Appreciation Week, here is Turner as he helps us all feel good and appreciate the little things life has to offer! Enjoy! Side note: his sister Tina tries to distract him from his moment of pure bliss!
This girl is an angle! Casey is affectionate, playful and spunky. She can’t get enough attention! She was found tying to get inside the Casey’s gas station in Arlington, NE. 6 months old and weighed 4lbs. She’s healthy and ready for a new home.
The number of kittens being found born outside is outrageous! We are drowning. It’s not right. Nebraska Humane Society is suppose to be the leading authority on animal control in Nebraska. Why are these animals suffering across Nebraska? Blame the people who don’t spay and neuter or enact programs and legislation across the state that will stop cat reproduction? Nebraska needs a leader.
Trapping 6 week old kittens today so they can be tamed and adopted to inside homes. There are 4 kittens. Can you find all 4? Number one rule of TNR is never leave the moms and dads behind. There is a trap set for mom also.
Adoption Pending Penelope is available for adoption!
