I made a huge dent in this colony! 9 cats were trapped and taken to Hope Clinic in Versailles on May 3rd. Unfortunately, They are not friendly enough to take in, so they will be going back. They do have a good caretaker.

Cookies story started when two volunteers came to the shelter to ask for advice about a small black cat that was injured in Radcliff. After speaking to some people who knew about this kitty, we found out that this little girl had been dragging herself around for a year or more. It seems that she was hit by a car as a kitten: her hind legs were destroyed, and she had been unable to walk since. The worst part of the story is that the people who feed these feral cats did nothing to help her. Worse, they saw nothing wrong with the sight of this little cutie dragging herself through the neighborhood. Cookie was caught on a Sunday and our veterinarian came on Monday and it was decided that the kindest thing to do for Cookie was to humanely euthanize her. Cookie was frightened at first, but she enjoyed her canned food and probably for the first time in her life she enjoyed sleeping on a soft, warm and–most of all–clean bed. She looked on us with an expression on her sweet little face that would melt your heart. We knew how tough it was for a little girl like this one to survive out on the streets. We said she was one tough Cookie, and the name stuck. It was very important to all that met Cookie that her death would not be in vain. So to ensure that Cookie will help other feral kitties out there, we have established “Cookie’s Legacy”. These donations will go to help spay/neuter and care for other feral cats in Hardin County. We can spay a cat for $45 and neuter for $30. Please give generously so we can help as many community cats as possible. For now we are working on trapping Cookie’s family before the population explodes. We would like to make this a staple program through ARC. I would like to think that from here on out, every time a trap door snaps shut on a feral cat, another homeless cat comes home....and Cookie will smile down on us from above. If you want to make a lasting donation to Cookie’s Legacy, please make a pledge online via Paypal or credit card and know: Your contribution has just saved a life. http://animalrefugecenter.org/donate/
