Meet Green Guy 💚

This young, handsome brown tabby just isn’t a fan of people and would thrive as an outdoor barn or shop cat. He’s up to date on vaccines, neutered, ear tipped, and ready to put in work keeping mice away 🐭

In about 6 weeks, these TWO adorable kittens will be ready to find their forever home — together 💕

These sweet babies are growing, playing, and learning all the important kitten skills right now. By the time they’re ready, they’ll be:
✨ Socialized
✨ Litter trained
✨ Full of personality (and mischief 😄)
✨ Completely vetted - spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated!

We are now accepting pre-adoption applications for their future family. If you’ve been thinking about adding some joy (and a little chaos) to your home, this is your sign 🐱🐱

💌 Interested in adopting? Reach out to us at [email protected] to learn more and get your application in early!

💖 Want to help us, but not ready to adopt?
These kittens rely on donations for food, vet care, and supplies. If you’d like to help us support their journey, we would be so grateful!

Do you know all the different types of traps—and their pros and cons? Here are a few pointers:

👉 Spring-loaded traps are easy to use, especially for new trappers. It’s always best to get your equipment from a reputable manufacturer like Tomahawk Live Trap.

👉 Gravity traps are safer and quieter than spring-loaded ones, which is important in a mass trapping situation where you don’t want to scare off other cats. They just cost a little bit more!

Explore the collection of spring-loaded, gravity, and drop traps co-designed by the Neighborhood Cats team: https://www.neighborhoodcats.org/traps-and-equipment

Bonus: Many of the traps we helped create can double as a portable cage, making care of trapped cats a snap.

The past few months have been full of behind-the-scenes work: TNR, helping two cats make it safely to another rescue for adoption, transporting cats for TNR, taking in a feral mom and her two babies, supporting a medical feral through surgery and recovery, and getting a friendly abandoned cat into foster while we line up transport.

This kind of work doesn’t always make it online, but it matters. It takes time, coordination, and a lot of collaboration with other trappers, volunteers, and rescues—all working toward the same goal: helping cats, one at a time. Teamwork and partnership is essential in rescue.

TNR and spay/neuter is still the foundation of everything we do. It’s how we break this cycle and create lasting change.

If you’ve ever supported, shared, donated, or even just cared about what we do - you’re part of this too. Donations truly help us keep going and allow us to say “yes” to the next cat that needs us. If you’re able to donate, it truly makes a difference. Every dollar helps cover medical care, transport costs, and TNR supplies so we can keep saying yes to cats in need. Thank you for supporting this work that we are so passionate about. 😻

⚠️ IF YOU’RE LEAVING CAT TRAPS UNATTENDED — READ THIS ⚠️

Even for “just an hour”… a LOT can go wrong.

I’ve been doing this for years, and things can go sideways FAST. I just saw a post about someone finding a cat sitting in a trap during a walk… and that should NEVER happen.

Here’s what people don’t realize:

• Cats panic and can break teeth, nails, or severely injure themselves trying to escape
• Traps can flip — causing injury or escape
• Predators (dogs, wildlife) can attack a trapped cat
• 🚫 People can mess with traps — or intentionally harm the cat
• Traps can be stolen (with the cat inside)
• You may trap the wrong animal (wildlife, someone’s pet)
• Kittens can be separated from their mom
• Nursing moms can be trapped away from their babies

And the BIGGEST danger? ⬇️

🔥 Heat builds FAST → heatstroke and death
❄️ Cold → hypothermia
🌧 Rain → soaked, stressed, at risk
☀️ Direct sun → overheating in MINUTES

Plus:
• Ants, flies, and insects will swarm
• Cats can sit in urine/feces → stress + infection risk
• Dehydration happens quickly
• Extreme stress alone can cause medical decline

💔 They are trapped, terrified, and completely helpless.

Trapping saves lives — WHEN DONE RIGHT.

But it is NOT “set it and forget it.”

If you set a trap, you MUST:
✔ Stay nearby
✔ Check every 15–30 minutes
✔ Keep it covered
✔ Keep it out of highly visible areas (people WILL mess with them)

We all want to help cats — but doing it wrong can cost them their life.

📢 PLEASE SHARE — a lot of people genuinely don’t know this
