No Milk

It’s a long-standing myth that cats love milk. While they will drink it, they actually lack the enzymes necessary to process standard cow’s milk that you buy in the stores. It’s best to avoid putting a bowl of milk thinking it’s the best solution. It is far better to provide a dish of clean water and some solid food.

Only if the stray is a very young kitten is milk ever appropriate; and only then with a specialized formula. Try feeding it drip by drip from a syringe, or failing that, your finger.

Nursing kittens away from their mother need a special milk formula that replicates their mother’s milk (eg - KMR, Kiltten Milk Replacement). In some cases, they need to be rehomed with another new mother cat.

Babies can have babies. It is NOT a choice THEY make. It is a CHOICE YOU make for them.

PLEASE do the right thing - SPAY AND NEUTER 👏👏👏.

IF YOU FEED THEM - PLEASE FIX THEM.

Adopters get mad when we won’t adopt out a single kitten and this is why. Please don’t bash rescues who follow the practice of adopting out pairs or a kitten to a home with another cat we have our reasons!

Low Cost Vaccine Clinic this Saturday!! 9am-12pm

We understand that pets add to the life of their family. But we also know that caring for that pet can, at times, be draining on an already tight budget. Our goal at SJRAS is to help pet owners KEEP their pets, and keep them healthy & protected against the most common illnesses out there.

To help keep more money in your pocket & keep Fido or Fluffy well all at the same time, we offer low-cost vaccine clinics. ANYONE from ANYWHERE can come to the clinics to have their dog or cat given the basic shots to keep them safe.

The state of your pet’s feeding and drinking dishes play a crucial role in their overall health. Dirty bowls are a breeding ground for harmful bacteria. Wash and scrub their water and food dishes with hot soapy water. Running them through the dishwasher's hottest cycle to get them clean and sanitized is even more effective.

NOTICE: Winter is approaching, and felines often find refuge in vehicles. Remember to lightly tap the hood before turning on your car engine. Kindly share this message again!

TIP: The next 4-6 weeks is mating season for coyotes. Please do not let your dogs out alone. The coyote gets your dog to chase him and then somewhere in the distance the pack waits for your dog. Then the outcome is tragic as they can & will attack/kill your pets (they will easily kill your cats also). Just be aware it can happen to your beloved pet. {Coyote breeding typically peaks in late February and early March, the gestation period averages 58 to 63 days. Male coyotes can become more aggressive during this time of year, the long and short of it all is that coyotes always pose a risk to your dog (and other small pets). That risk increases during mating season.}

Keep appliance doors tightly shut and always check inside before you use the appliance.

Way too often a cat wanders into an open washing machine, clothes dryer, dishwasher, oven or refrigerator only to have their human shut the door to use the appliance without realizing. 🙀

You hear us say it all the time: "it takes a village." Indeed, it takes all of us working together to help animals in need because, sadly, there are more animals that need help than there are people to help them.

The next time you find an animal that needs help, TAKE INITIATIVE to help that animal yourself. Don't wait for the rescue or animal control officer to show up; you've got the same ability to make a difference in the life of that animal as any one of us at Stray Cat Project. Especially heading into winter, we need all hands on deck. Do what you can to help a cat in need to alleviate the pressure on local rescues.

We can make a better life for our community cats if we work together, regardless of the weather. Join us!🐾❤️

This information is very important to know.

When you see a dirty cat...
Important information to know about why cats look dirty.

🔺 Cats can resist hunger for up to a week on average, but no more than 2-3 days in case of thirst.

🔺 Cats are usually very clean, they are groomed several times a day, if you see a cat that is not clean, it is DEHYDRATED and has been so for many days.

🔺Your saliva glands are not functioning properly because they require moisture.

🔺 Please, if you see a stray kitten apparently dirty, DO NOT run or see it disgusting, it has already had difficult days in which it probably hasn't eaten or drank anything for a long time. This is how you don't like cats, express kindness for compassion.

🔺 For humanity, empathy, and love for your neighbor, bring food and above all a container with WATER. It's not easy being thirsty and hungry and not being able to say a word! 💔🥺

“Helping a disadvantaged being, is the opportunity that gives you life to be a better person.”

SPREAD THE WORD, PLEASE!

If it's too cold for you, it's too cold for them. Unlike our community cats, indoor/outdoor cats may not have a heavy winter coat to keep them warm. Don't leave them outside!

Bring your indoor/outdoor cat(s) inside or provide a warm shelter such as a garage, shed, cat shelter, etc. If you have a power source close to where the cats hang out or pass by, consider placing a heated mat under bushes or at the feeding station so they can warm up as they make their rounds. Heated water bowls are also ideal for keeping cats hydrated when all is frozen.

Remember, they're out there because someone failed to spay or neuter. Do what you can to help them survive these harsh temperatures.
