SCAR

A sneak peek into the life of the SCAR TNR Team! Our fearless volunteers go out into all South County communities to TNR feral cats. What is TNR? It stands for Trap-Neuter-Return, and it's a humane way to control cat populations. We trap, spay, or neuter and return the community cat to their outdoor homes. You'll notice an ear tip as an indicator that the cat has been fixed. Benefits of TNR: 🐈 TNR prevents more litters of kittens, reducing the number of cats in a community 🐈‍⬛️ Improved quality of life: TNR stops behaviors and stresses associated with mating, such as yowling, spraying, and fighting 🐈 Kittens or young friendly cats can be fostered and placed in loving adoption homes If you feed a colony or see cats roaming your neighborhood or they make their way onto your property, please reach out! We are here to help. You'll find a TNR Request form on our website. Once you submit your request, our team will contact you to arrange for TNR action.

Leo needs a forever home! He's a star @livingunchained_mb graduate and is doing great with his foster family. Leo is approximately 5 years old. Weighing about 85 lbs, we believe he's a Rottweiler Shepard mix. He's a total cuddle buddy! Apply to adopt Leo, and a meet-up will be arranged for you. WWW.SCAR.PET

Leo is one of our sweetest pups. He's an excellent student of the Canines Teaching Compassion Program with our partner @livingunchained_mb and will be graduating soon! Leo is a 4-year-old mix of what we think is rottweiler and Labrador or Shepard. Due to circumstances of capacity, Leo needs a new foster home. Of course, a permanent forever home is ideal! While he completes his training and reaches his full potential, Leo needs a home where he can continue to practice the training he is getting. If that's you, please DM us for more information and fill out our Foster Volunteer application form on our website. www.scar.pet/foster

✨Introducing River✨ This girl came to us from King City after someone had discovered her in their driveway. They noticed she looked sick and had an injury to her back leg. Our TNR team was able pick her up & have her checked out with our good friends at Animal Friends Rescue Project. With their help we found out she was dehydrated, covered in fleas, had an upper respiratory infection, and x-rays revealed a fractured/dislocated pelvis. One of the main concerns is her pelvic canal narrowing & her ability to urinate and express her bowels on her own. After spending a few days under the care of AFRP staff, she showed wonderful improvements; vocal, attempting to move on her own, making biscuits, grooming herself, and eventually urinating & expressing bowel movements without assistance. With these injuries surgery was estimated to be $12,000 to $15,000. It’s a difficult decision to make with a surgery of this magnitude. Luckily with the guidance of Dr. B & the improvements River has shown, we decided that the most feasible option was to have River crate rested. River will be monitored to ensure her injury heals as best as possible and she will begin water therapy to ensure she regains strength. At all times throughout our journey with River she has shown how much of a fighter she is. She is yet another example of how resilient animals are. River is a very special kitty and will most likely require special care but we are determined to give her a life she deserves. River is about 2-3 months old so she contains the energy and excitement just like any average kitten. This means she pushes herself to move around on her own even if it’s to receive pets from her foster mom. To ensure her healing process continues to improve we’d like to get her a wheelchair. Eventually as she grows she may require one tailored to her body but for the time being we’d like her to be able to safely get around. Again, we’d like to thank Dr. B and the amazing team at AFRP f

When we tell about how amazing our Animal Champions are, we are not exaggerating! Boo was adopted at our pop-up adoption event at Ace Hardware in King City last Saturday. We're so excited for his new home! Boo was rescued by our TNR Team. He was living a hard life, but with such a tender heart, we knew he just didn't belong in the streets. Our team got him into our care, and with lots of love and attention from Cass and her partner, Boo was ready for his furever home. Judging by the tearful farewell, Cass wasn't quite ready to let go. Adoptions are always a bittersweet experience, yet we take joy in knowing Boo has found his happily ever after. #scarsaveslives #scarTNRteam #adoptfosterdonatevolunteer #catsofinstagram #catrescue

🐾 A day in the life of SCAR TNR 🐾 We were originally called to this location for a momma and her litter of kittens. When scouting the area we discovered there were 15+ other cats that would become our newest colony. Amongst the colony we found this boy limping and knew we had to get him checked out. We call him, Buddy. With the help of our friends at Animal Friends Rescue Project we were able to see get Buddy fixed, vaccinated, clean his wounds, and get him medication for his recovery journey. Help us help Buddy & other community cats by making a donation today! See pictures in the comments! WWW.SCAR.PET
