We are looking for a new community cat caregiver for a home that an elderly couple moved out of as they could not care for the home and live independently any longer. There are approximately 20 cats it is at this intersection. I believe this is Bellknap lookout. We would love to find someone who would be able to feed and put freshwater out there or maybe a couple of people that would switch off days helping these cats so they do not starve. I believe there is some trapping that needs to be done in the spring. We would assist with that. I was hoping to share this in some neighborhood groups to try to facilitate a new caregiver to look after this colony. We have permission to feed on the porch. Please be in touch if you’re able to assist with us ideally, we would have a couple of people that live close by that could pop in every day and spend about five minutes feeding and putting out freshwater.

One by one. That’s how we help them. We can help more with all of you helping us help. Let’s expand that circle of helpers. You help one and the next person helps one. A common misconception is that you have to have some special skills to help an animal. A lot of the contact that I get about animals that are in needunfortunately the people don’t want to lift a finger. They just want to report it to me. You can help we can give you the resources. Collaboratively, we can make a big difference. from a woman that has a litter of kittens loose in her house and three other litters and a very sick feral in cages in my mechanical room. We can do this. Let’s all throw down.

📚 Our BACK TO BASICS SERIES: Pregnancy vs. Pyometra

Can you tell? Is she PREGNANT or does she have a LIFE-THREATENING CONDITION?

Pyometra is a bacterial infection of the uterus of an unspayed cat. It causes the uterus to fill with pus, often making the cat appear pregnant. This is a VERY SERIOUS condition that needs veterinary attention immediately as this infection can be fatal.

Signs of pyometra include a bloated abdomen, lethargy, vomiting, decreased appetite, excessive licking at the va**nal opening, blood in the urine, urinating outside of the litter box and more. There may or may not be discharge from the va**na. 🚨🚨 If your cat appears unwell, please take her to a veterinarian as quickly as possible. 🚨🚨 This can't wait. Pyometra can be avoided: spay your cat!

For more information about pyometra, visit https://www.thesprucepets.com/treating-pyometra-in-cats-4784166 or speak with your veterinarian.

How Do Cats Get Worms?
Cats most commonly contract worms after coming into contact with parasite eggs or infected f***s.

A cat may walk through an area with eggs or infected f***s, and since cats are often such fastidious groomers, they will then ingest the eggs or f***l particles as they clean their fur and feet.

Cats that live outdoors and regularly hunt small rodents are also at a higher risk of contracting worms because the worms can live in the muscle tissues of their prey.

After eating a rodent that’s infected with worm larvae, a cat can develop a worm infestation as those larvae develop to maturity in the cat’s intestines.

Can Cats Get Worms From Dogs? Yes, through their fleas and feral matter.

Types of Worms in Cats
The most common types of worms in cats are:
* Roundworms
* Hookworms
* Tapeworms
* Whipworms

Less commonly diagnosed worms in cats can even be fatal, including:
* Lungworms
* Stomach worms
* Bladder worms
* Liver flukes
* Heartworms

Common signs of worms in cats include:
* Vomiting
* Diarrhea
* Tarry f***s
* Weight loss
* Distended abdomen
* Skin lesions
* Generally poor body condition and a dull coat

As infestations worsen and symptoms progress, you may see signs such as:
* Weakness
* Dehydration
* Pale lips and gums due to anemia
* Low blood pressure
* Shock
* Death, in the most severe cases

Are Worms Painful for Cats?
Worms in cats can potentially cause pain. The migration of larvae through the liver, stomach, eye, or lungs would cause discomfort as the affected tissues become inflamed from the disruption.

This could present as:
* Belly pain, including gastritis due to inflammation of the stomach lining (potential nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, food aversion)
* Eye irritation
* A change in your cat’s breathing rate/pattern

How to Get Rid of Worms in Cats
For the best results, contact your veterinarian.

What Happens if Worms Go Untreated in Cats?
Left untreated can be dangerous, even fatal.

📚 Our BACK TO BASICS SERIES: spaying and neutering

Let's continue our discussion on reproduction.....

SNiP Now shared this very informative post regarding female fertility and reproduction. They wrote:
"We have had a few calls from people worried their cats are in pain as they are exhibiting symptoms of yowling and other unusual behaviors (rubbing all over items). What these individuals are describing is their female cat having heat cycles which can occur in females as young as 4-months of age. Yowling, rubbing, raising the behind up in the air (lordosis reflex), spraying, the desire to go outside and find a mate...are all symptoms that can occur during a female cat's heat cycle. Sometimes females can appear more loving and other times females can have more aggressive tendencies during this cycle."

Remember that spaying a cat will eliminate these behaviors as well as help control the cat population. Please have your cat spayed by 4 months of age!

📖Our BACK TO BASICS SERIES: the reality of Spay Abort

Spay abort—spaying a pregnant cat and therefore aborting her kittens —is standard practice in veterinary clinics that perform TNR surgeries. This is a sensitive and emotional topic that can be challenging for many to confront. However, many believe it is a key approach to addressing cat overpopulation, supporting the well-being of community cats, and lessening the burden on rescues and shelters by helping cats and kittens already in the system find homes.

During a spay abort, the veterinarian removes the cat’s uterus and ovaries under anesthesia. If the cat is pregnant, this ends the pregnancy, meaning the unborn kittens do not survive. Veterinarians do not consult with rescuers while the cat is on the operating table; it is understood and agreed at drop off that should the cat be pregnant, the pregnancy will be terminated and the kittens lost.

We recognize this is a difficult topic, and it’s natural to have questions or strong feelings. We invite open and respectful conversations in the comments to help foster understanding of these practices and their role in community cat care and population control.

Snowy afternoon getting ready for TNR next week at the laundromat. I have been hauling the towels that we use in our program to the laundry for a while now. It goes quickly and they have HUGE machines. Plus I love the woman that owns the laundromat. She save things for the kitties. It always brings a smile to my face to come here even though it is several hours of my life every week. She is a wonderful women who immigrated from Vietnam many years ago. I have never seen anyone more connected to their customers. She knows everyone. She hugs everyone. She remembers names. Teenagers come in and sit in her little cafe area to do their homework and receive her kind and encouraging words. She helps the unhoused with clothing left behind and has a little pantry here. It just makes my day to run into someone like her. 🧺♥️🐈‍⬛ little pleasures like kind hearted souls in the community make it allllll worth it.
