It’s Our Birthday!! 🎉
Five years ago this little polydactyl kitten started it all.
She was found and eventually there were about 50 more cats found and trapped. Some were TNR and many went right into foster and found homes!
It’s crazy to think of everything that has happened in the last five years. We will be sharing some of our memories very soon.
In the meantime you can come celebrate with us at our anniversary party today from 2-7! We hope to see you there!
This little kitten is also now five years old. Reese unfortunately lost her mother last year and is now searching for a new home. She isn’t fond of other cats and does require daily eye drops. Outside of that, she’s super friendly, loves dogs, and has a whole lotta toes! It would make our birthday super special to find her a home soon!

To celebrate, we are going to throw ourselves a fundraiser party!

Time: 2-7PM
Where: Sip Taproom, 3394 Saxonburg Blvd Suite 530, Glenshaw, PA 15116

We will be accepting donations of food, litter, and other cat items at the event.
All proceeds benefit Conquer the Colony.
Tickets are $25 ($15 for those under 10!) and can be purchased here: conquerthecolony.bigcartel.com/product/5th-anniversary-fundraiser-ticket (link in bio!)

Want to help?
We are looking for individuals to donate raffle baskets, tickets, paper plates, disposable silverware, disposable cups, and baked goods/desserts. Want to pitch in? Send us an email at [email protected]
We hope to see you there!!
Last week we were contacted by a caretaker saying she found kittens.
The mom has been nowhere to be found. They are just about six weeks old and just learning to eat on their own. At the time of discovery, one kitten was already dead.
They’ve been in our care for a week now and are slowly learning to eat on their own.
Kittens at this size, without their mothers, are especially fragile. We will continue to care for them and monitor their health and hope that they all improve.
We field multiple requests a day for found kittens and owner surrenders. This is the reality of kitten season: malnourished, tiny kittens fighting for their lives.
Every single rescuer is drowning right now. We are no exception and we can promise everyone is doing their best. Please be kind and recognize the immense pressure every single one of these volunteers are under, out the kindness of their hearts.
And as always: SPAY AND NEUTER! That is the only way this stops.

Happy Mother’s Day from CTC!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Ever have one of THOSE days? Well, we’ve had a few. We are back in the quintessential rescue situation… things were going smoothly and then we were smacked with mega vet bills with more on the way.
Pictured here is Wilbur who was just about to be ready for his forever home, along with his brother Orville. Out of nowhere, they’ve seemed to be a bit “off” in a way that has caused us much concern. They’ll be off to the vet to find out what is going on.
Remember fosters Karlie and Cornelia? They’ve been adopted and Cornelia is THRIVING! Karlie unfortunately has not, seemingly declining as she’s gotten bigger. Her adopter has had her at the vet and we’ve offered to step in… we are hoping it isn’t FIP… but we’ve invested $500 up to this point with more visits in sight. Please put good vibes out there for her!
On top of that, Strawberry is having tummy issues. We are hoping this is minor, but more to come on that.
Sigh, never ends, right?

Is Squeezy Treat Sunday a thing?
Strawberry hopes so! 😻
