We continue to offer low-cost TNR services for feral and free-roaming cats. No appointment is needed, just bring cats safely in a humane trap during our intake hours.

Your efforts to trap, neuter, and return help keep outdoor cats healthy and reduce overpopulation. ❤️

At the Humane Society of York County (HSYC) in South Carolina, a heartwarming moment between two kittens recently captured the attention of both staff and animal lovers online. In a scene that felt almost too sweet to be real, a shelter employee walked into the cat room and found two kittens gently holding paws through the bars of their separate kennels.

Meet Tricia, a brave little feral cat who’s been surviving well on her own in the world, until a devastating leg injury left her in excrutiating pain and unable to walk properly.
After being safely trapped and examined by a vet, we learned the heartbreaking news — her leg can’t be saved due to the extensive tendon/ligament damage, and amputation is the only way to relieve her suffering and give her a second chance at life!

Tricia may be feral, but her life matters deeply to us, as they all do. With this surgery, medication, and a safe space to recover, she can finally live without pain — and with a bit of hopeful thinking, she might even learn that not all humans are scary.

Every dollar makes a difference — whether it’s $5 or $50, your donations will help end Tricia’s pain and shows her the kindness she’s always deserved. If you can’t donate, please share her story to help us reach more caring hearts.

Thank you in advance for helping Tricia heal and to allow her to have the peaceful, pain-free life she deserves. 🐾

Please direct all donations to our PayPal account as her surgery is in less than a week and we are able to access PayPal donations immediately. We also have Venmo, Zelle, and CashApp upon request if you’d prefer. Thank you again!

❄️ It's going to get cold soon. Get those cat shelters ready now for your outdoor feline friends ... They will need them!!

*You can search 'outdoor cat shelters' on Google for detailed instructions and/or to see other community cat shelter options.

🚩'If cats still aren’t using the outdoor shelters, try to find where they are sleeping and then do what you can there to “upgrade” the spot by adding straw to their sleeping area.'

Furkids Animal Rescue and Shelters had a tragic accident happen today while en route transporting cats and kittens to a partner rescue in Vermont. I worked with this rescue a little bit when I lived in Atlanta and was fostering cats and kittens.

You can see the details of what happened on their page, but we won’t share it here due to triggering images.

Please consider donating to them to help during this time of hardship and devastation.

"I feed them but they're not my cats."

It's a statement we hear often from well-meaning caretakers who either don't have the means to fix the cats they feed or simply make the decision to spend their money elsewhere. Usually, we meet these caretakers when the colony has grown to the point of no longer being manageable for the caretaker -- or when the neighbors get annoyed and call animal control.

❤️❤️❤️ IF YOU CARE ENOUGH TO FEED, YOU MUST ALSO CARE ENOUGH TO FIX!❤️❤️❤️

Resources for low-cost or no-cost TNR (spay/neuter, ear tip and vaccines) are available in many areas. You just need to look for them. To start, go to the pinned post at the top of our FB page to search for resources near you. If you're feeding cats and don't have the means or ability to fix your colony of one of dozens, don't be shy about contacting a TNR group or no-kill rescue near you. They're working to solve the community cat problem and will likely be happy to hear from you, thrilled that you've asked for help and eager to help the kitties that you're feeding.

TNR groups love partnering with community cat caretakers -- whether the colony is fed at a residence or on public property. ❤️ If you feed it, you must fix it. ❤️ That doesn't mean you have to go bankrupt doing it. Don't be afraid to ask for help!
