🐾 Happy National Feral Cat Day! 💕 A day to celebrate & advocate for our feral cat friends (every day, really 🥰).
CR!FR is active in TNR (trap neuter return) & feral cat colony care. We lend out humane traps & guide people through the spay/neuter clinic process. We help with transport to & from s/n clinics.
Where do feral cats, aka community cats, come from? Feral cats are usually born to unaltered pet cats who are abandoned or let outdoors by their owners. When kittens are born under a shed or in the woods, they grow up “unsocialized” to humans & are fearful, although they often eke out a life in close proximity to humans, surviving on dumpster scraps, etc. They often have several litters per year & most kittens don’t survive to adulthood.
When a kind person, rescue group or TNR advocate gets involved, the cats are humanely trapped, brought to a clinic to be spayed/neutered & vaccinated, & returned to their outdoor home. If needed, shelters are provided & a feeding schedule is arranged. Ideally any friendly cats found in the group are taken into an adoption program.
If you see homeless, hungry or injured unsheltered cats, please reach out to a rescue for help. Borrow a humane trap & get the cat to a vet.
Alley Cat Allies & Alley Cat Rescue are 2 wonderful advocacy groups for community cats. Check out their pages for a wealth of info & support.

A very worthwhile (& affordable!) webinar tomorrow, July 9 at 5–6:30pm, especially for dog rescuers!
Parvovirus is related to deadly Panleukopenia, which affects cats. Hopefully a webinar on Panleuk will follow 🐾

Canine parvovirus remains a constant threat to the health and welfare of the animals in our shelters and communities, despite the availability of effective vaccines and a greater number of VA shelters choosing to vaccinate on intake. SFC Virginia has taken in and treated over 300 dogs and puppies...

Along with the rescue community & hundreds of pet lovers, we are mourning the sudden passing of a veterinary legend. Dr Kent Smith was renowned for his compassion, sincere “bedside manner”, his generous support of rescues, & top notch care.
I first met Dr Smith at the then PW Emergency Vet Clinic (now MedVet). He helped CR!FR with a difficult case by housing Katcher, a timid dog who had been attacked by an other dog; it wasn’t safe to bring him back. Dr Smith treated his wounds & boarded Katcher at no charge for a month while a new home was sought. Everyone at the clinic fell in love with Katch & lovingly cared for him. One of the staff adopted him 💖
We are eternally grateful for Dr Smith & the staff’s generosity, as Katcher was hard to place & had been continually overlooked by adopters. Dr Smith went above & beyond to help this sweet pup recover & find the perfect home. He was very generous in his support of rescues with ferals & challenging cases.
Dr Smith was truly a once-in-a-lifetime veterinarian that we were lucky to have in our community.
Condolences, hugs & comfort to Dr Smith’s family, his associates & all the rescues who cherished him 💔😿🕊️✨💐

Do you live in a big house with extra rooms? Or a small/medium sized house with some extra space? If so, you can help save cats & dogs stuck in overwhelmed shelters!
We receive so many posts & emails daily from overflowing small & large shelters pleading for help pulling/adopting/transferring animals to save lives!
Please, if there’s any way you can help take in a pup or kitty, reach out! Often the sending shelter can take care of vaccines, deworming, spay/neuter &/or transport. We can help with the process 🐾🥹🙏🐈🙏🐈‍⬛🙏🐕🙏💕
