Forgotten Felines of Forsyth

03/16/2025

We are fortunate to have a supportive veterinary staff who will spay and neuter feral cats at our clinics as young as 3 months. This is to ensure they are also old enough to receive a rabies vaccine and distemper vaccines so that they are in the best condition to thrive in their colonies. While we would love for kittens to always get to rescues and find indoor homes, sometimes it’s not possible before the key socialization window closes, and it’s important to sterilize kittens who can get pregnant as early as 4 months old.

Happy New Years Eve! What better way to say goodbye to 2024 than to help us say goodbye to some tomcats’ trouble puffs through neuter surgery! 🥜

We’re so thankful for the outpouring of support we’ve received this year. We’d like to wrap up 2024 and kick off 2025 with a goal to raise $2,500 - your support helps us spay and neuter feral and community cats in Forsyth and surrounding counties. TNR improves the lives of the fixed cat, improves the lives of the communities where these cats live by helping to prevent overpopulation and disease, and prevents kittens from suffering. Whether you’re able to donate $2.50, $25, $250 or a denomination that doesn’t have 25 in it, we appreciate your support! Let’s start 2025 out strong. Help us raise 25 for 25!

Our trappers are busy trapping cats today for our December clinic tomorrow. Do you think these kitties knew they were getting TNR’d for Christmas?

TNR is the gift that keeps on giving. It gives these cats the ability to live their lives without constantly raising litters of kittens. It gives local shelters and rescues relief from an even greater influx of kittens in the spring. It gives colony caretakers financial relief by preventing more mouths to feed. It gives local wildlife protection by limiting the amount of free roaming cats.

Merry Catmas!

In addition to spay and neuter services, we’re able to offer sometimes critical lifesaving intervention for kittens like Crunchy found at feral colonies. You may remember a post a month ago where a small orange kitten was shown who couldn’t open his eyes and was almost unrecognizable as a kitten from the brown build up on his face. This is the same kitten a month later. Without intervention he would have lost his eyesight and possibly his life. Your support of our program lets us help these little guys and spay and neuter the colony so that more kittens aren’t born in this condition.

BRRRR. It’s cold out there! We hope you and your ferals are staying warm and dry in the snow today. Today is giving Tuesday. We’re so thankful for your support throughout the year and hope you’ll keep us in mind today as you make your year-end contributions. Thanks to you, we’ve been able to prevent hundreds of kittens from being born out in this snowy weather. ❄️

Today’s clinic was a real party because two of our volunteers spent their birthday with us helping to spay and neuter 39 cats! Happy birthday to our volunteers Dawn, Erica, and Erin! 🥳

This November we are so thankful for the growing community of supporters, caretakers, volunteers, and friends we have made through our feral cat spay and neuter program. ❤️ It’s all of you who make this important work possible and allow us to go above and beyond for these feral cat colonies.

Food from this drive helps feral cats across all of Forsyth county and surrounding counties stay fed through the winter. Thank you for your continued support!

Boo! 👻 In the spirit of Halloween week, we are sharing SCARY facts and why it's important to spay and neuter early! Cats can go into their first heat as young as four months! It is best to spay or neuter by five months, to prevent accidental litters. 👍

This is a home one our volunteers visited today, and unfortunately we see and hear about this same kind of story month after month. A few cats show up, maybe they were dumped or strays, maybe they were feral cats displaced from their original home- whatever the case, it begins as 2 or 3 cats. The caretaker begins feeding them out of the goodness of their heart but cannot afford to get them fixed, or don’t know how to access spay and neuter resources. In just a year or two this is the outcome. Litter after litter of kittens. Illness spreading. Some kittens don’t make it to adulthood. A spayed or neutered adult prevents the unnecessary suffering of kittens.

Supporting us financially helps us provide low cost spay and neuter in Forsyth and surrounding counties to help get these kind of situations under control, and to prevent these types of situations from happening to begin with.
