So many letters-so much life saving happening!
🐾 🐈Why TNVRM Matters for Our Community Cats

Community cats deserve care, stability, and a little compassion from all of us. TNVRM-Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, Return and MANAGE—is one of the most effective ways we can support them and create healthier neighborhoods at the same time.
💙 Healthier, calmer colonies:
When cats are vaccinated and neutered, you see fewer fights, less stress, and a big drop in roaming. Colonies settle, and the cats are simply healthier all around.
🌎 Stronger, more peaceful neighborhoods:
TNVRM reduces nuisance behaviors and kitten surges, making things easier for everyone who shares space with outdoor cats.
🐱 A life-saving approach:
Returning cats to the environment they know keeps them safe with their families while preventing shelter intake strain. It’s a compassionate solution that meets cats where they are.
🛡️ Real impact on overpopulation:
Spaying and neutering stop the endless cycle of litters, helping colony numbers stabilize over time.
Management of community cats is an easy and gentle way to be sure new cats that come around are trapped immediately. Management consists of creating a feeding schedule and working closely with a community cat tnr team.
When community members show up with kindness and proven practices, we create something powerful—safe cats, supported neighborhoods, reduction in suffering and a happier world for cats and people.

Together, we can make a great community for outdoor cats!

🐾 Happy World Kindness Day! 🐾
Today, we're celebrating the power of compassion—not just for one another, but for our furry friends who bring so much joy into our lives.

Kindness to cats and dogs can take many beautiful forms, and this season, we invite you to consider how you might make a difference:

💙 Donate to our pet food pantry to help families keep their beloved pets fed and healthy
💙 Sponsor a spay or neuter service to support healthier communities for pets
💙 Spread the word about our services to help more animals in need
💙 Microchip your own pet to ensure they can always find their way home
💙 Volunteer your time to give animals the love and attention they deserve
💙 Foster or adopt a shelter or rescue pet looking for their forever home

Every act of kindness, no matter how small, creates waves of compassion that touch the lives of animals and the people who care for them.

🐾 Winter Tip for Outdoor Cats: Kitten Food Can Help! 🐾

When the temperatures drop, outdoor cats need extra calories to stay warm — and believe it or not, kitten food can be a lifesaver in winter!

Here’s why (and how) to help safely:

💪 Why Kitten Food Helps

More calories & fat: Keeps cats warm and helps them maintain weight.

Extra protein: Supports muscle health when energy demands are high.

Tastier & more appealing: Encourages picky eaters to get the nutrition they need.

🍽️ How to Feed It Wisely

Mix it in: Combine kitten and adult food (half and half or one-third kitten) for a healthy calorie boost without tummy troubles.

Dry is better in freezing temps: Wet food can freeze quickly — dry food stays edible longer.

Don’t forget water: Use heated bowls or refill often so cats stay hydrated.

Add shelter: A simple insulated bin or straw-lined box helps them stay cozy and make the most of their meals.
*stay tuned for the community straw haul!! Free straw will be available.

⚠️ Once spring rolls around, switch back to adult food to avoid weight gain. And remember — keeping outside cats TNR'd is the best way to protect them and the community. (Fixed and vaccinated)

💜 Need help feeding your colony?
ABC has a Community Cat Food Pantry to help caregivers stretch their resources and keep every bowl full. We are always in need of donated dry and canned cat/kitten food and bulk litter to keep that pet food pantry stocked.

Together, we can keep outdoor cats healthy, warm, and cared for this winter. 🐱❄️ Meow!

Honoring Service, Compassion, and Community - All while loving community cats.

Today, we’re shining a light on our friends who utilize our outreach pet services, especially our TNR activities thru our CommCAT program.

They served their country with quiet strength, and when they returned home, they continued that spirit of service in a different way — by caring for the community cats who depend on them and caring for the people that loves the cats too.

Every day, rain, snow, sleet or hail, they feed, watch over, care for and support the cats in their neighborhood. They champion TNR, proactively reduce suffering, and make their community safer and kinder for both animals and people.

To know them is to love them and be astounded by all they continue to do. Heck, to them, age is simply a number!

Their dedication isn’t loud, flashy, or self-serving. It’s steady. It’s compassionate. It’s the kind of everyday heroism that ripples outward and makes our community better.

We are honored to support them as they so deeply support their cats.

👉 As our outreach supplies are always running low, we’re asking for help so caregivers can continue their work without carrying the entire weight and expense alone. We are accepting donations of:

• Dry cat food-kitten and adult

• Wet cat food-kitten and adult

• Bulk litter

Your contributions go directly to community cat caregivers who give so much from their own hearts and their own pockets — not because they have to, but because they are committed to the cause.

If you’d like to be part of that wave of compassion, we would sure be grateful. We know our caregiver friends would be too.

Together, we can keep more bowls full, more cats TNR'd and safe, with ounces and ounces of more kindness moving forward.

❤️ Thank you for supporting those who serve quietly every day — on two legs and four.
