On Monday, Trapper Diane got this cutie into clinic to get fixed and vaccinated from Crocker. Look at that cute little tail ring! 😻 If you look at the anount of kittens that can be born every year from just one unfixed cat in a neighborhood of unfixed cats, you are preventing generations of kittens.

If you are feeding just one unfixed community cat, you can get it fixed at the low-cost spay/neuter clinic at Kitten & Puppy Division Adoption Center. Just go to their page at www.kittendivision.com to sign that kitty up for a clinic date!

I just downloaded ChatGPT to ask it to do one thing. I typed “Write a poem about animal rescue and shelter fatigue”. This was its amazing and emotional response.

In a quiet corner of the world so still,
Where hearts are heavy, though intentions thrill,
There lies a refuge, both humble and grand,
A shelter where lost souls find a gentle hand.

Each day dawns with a hopeful sigh,
Yet shadows of fatigue linger in each eye.
For though the love is vast and true,
The weariness of care is an ever-present hue.

With every bark and meow, a story told,
Of lives once broken, now brave and bold.
Yet behind the smiles, the tireless fight,
Lies a silent struggle, hidden from light.

The endless rounds of adoption dreams,
Where hope and despair waltz in streams,
As faces blur in a ceaseless stream,
Of souls in search of a new daydream.

When each farewell feels like a tear-streaked song,
And the weight of the world feels ever so strong,
It’s in these moments of quiet and strain,
That true compassion breaks through the pain.

So here’s to the warriors of endless plight,
Who carry the burden from morning to night,
For in their weary eyes, one can see
A love that endures, wild and free.

In each tired step and each heavy breath,
They find the courage to battle the depths,
With every small victory, every saved heart,
They remind us all of a new hopeful start.

For amidst the fatigue, there shines a light,
In the sanctuary of their endless fight,
Where love and resilience find their place,
In the tireless embrace of every rescued face.

I stopped into Kitten & Puppy Division Adoption Center today to see Odyssey. She is still doing so well. There are several signs of her large scale wounds healing. She still has large swaths of skin that are simply gone which continues to leave her prone to future infections and also keeps her in a position to not properly regulate her body temperature but the staff at Kitten Division are working hard on both problems. Her spirit is still strong and she just wants love all the time.

She also has a roommate! Pictured here is Sugar Butt! That will be another story which I’ll post about soon, but for the record, her name is my fault 😹

Tuesday was a trapping day that had several pieces to make it work that I love. It had so many unexpected elements that made it a fantastic day for rescue.

TNR Patrol had 1 mission to trap 5 cats in Waynesville. Our treasurer, Laura who arranged the mission, was going to come out to the site, because even though she has experience in setting a trap and catching a kitty, she hasn’t had an opportunity to work a full TNR mission.

We both had schedules working against us however. She works for the Pulaski Fine Arts Association-PFAA-Theater on the Square in downtown Waynesville, and they had a play to work on that night, and I had band practice. All in all, not a huge deal. The traps would have to be closed and we would have to return after to trap more cats.

But, a wrench got thrown into the plans. While I was loading up for TNR, I saw a post. A tiny kitten was seen in a park in St Robert, by the picture, no more than 5 weeks old, surrounded by two rural highway lanes. Not only was this a kitten that was alone, but every direction it could possibly leave was a high traffic road.

I immediately went to message Kitten & Puppy Division Adoption Center to see if they could take the kitten in only to find they had already messaged me! That secured the fact, even before responding, I had somewhere to go with this baby.

I first met Laura at the TNR site, did some rapid fire philosophy about trapping an area, and left to go find the kitten. It took 2 hours to lock in where the kitten was hiding in a patch of dense trees and underbrush, and I positioned traps. Laura had caught her first cat but it was getting time for both of us to leave.

Polly from Loving Paws Adoption Center (Pulaski County Humane Society) offered to come out with two of the kids from the family and watch the traps I had set up for the kitten so I wouldn’t have to close up shop when I had to leave, and unbeknownst to both Laura and I, when the homeowner at the TNR site came home after Laura had to leave, she reset the traps and trapped more kitties while we were away! On top of that, Polly and family secured the kitten while I was at practice!

So now, the little kitten named Maple is safe inside of Kitten Division with the help of Loving Paws, all 5 of our TNR targets were secured with the help of the community member who reached out for help, and there is nothing but happy endings all around. 3 different local rescues and the effort of a community member made it all happen. That is what a community coming together to help our community cat situation looks like. The adults are fixed and no more kittens will be born by them, and a tiny, precious life has been saved from certain death.

21/08/2024

On Monday we had 6 cats go to the low-cost spay/neuter clinic at Kitten & Puppy Division Adoption Center. One was a kitten that was trapped at the Fairfield Inn in St Robert. Coming in at about 12 weeks and under weight, Kitten Division decided to take it in to start its path to find a home.

The second cat we scheduled, a beautiful gray, was secured and brought in by the kitty’s caretaker.

Trapper Diane was also able to secure and bring in 4 kitties from Dixon. All are fixed and vaccinated now and returned to their caretakers.

20/08/2024

Odyssey update. Things turned out to be even more complicated than originally thought, which was already difficult enough.

There was a second, previously undetected wound that had been festering underneath the skin of her back. The first sign was seen before her vet examine this morning when some infectious fluids started coming out of her back by her tail. During the exam, much of her skin on her lower back started pulling away. There was a lot of dead tissue that was hiding another large area of destroyed tissue. The size of this infected area was larger than the damage to her inner thigh.

No one is giving up on this sweet kitten however, but her prognosis is guarded. Odyssey’s spirit is strong though! All she wants is to love and make biscuits. Her face is bright and her enthusiasm is strong.

But, her situation is very serious and even with daily wound care and medication there is still the possibility of things getting worse instead of better.

We will keep our hope strong for her as she gets all the care she can at Kitten & Puppy Division Adoption Center with their dedicated staff. If you would like to contribute to her care reach out to Kitten Division.

Keep fighting Odyssey! Stay strong and keep that positive energy going. We believe in you!

19/08/2024

I said what I said. Taking in a free kitten an not getting it fixed almost guarantees more kittens will be born in the future. TNR organizations are doing our best to keep up with community cats that need to be fixed to prevent kittens being born, but a large percentage of people who take in “free” kittens cause new colonies to pop up throughout our operating area.

There are low-cost options throughout the country to get a kitten fixed and vaccinated. Animal shelters who truly care about stopping the cat crisis only adopt out cats that are up to date on vaccinations and have been spayed or neutered.

You may scoff at some of their adoption fees but I guarantee you that their fees are much cheaper than suddenly going from one mouth to feed to four or more!

Cats are always a welcome addition to a family and have truly significant benefits to overall family health as well as teaching children responsibility. But if you just take in a kitten because you want a kitten, and don’t take the necessary steps to create a healthy life for that kitten, then it’s all about you. You are disregarding the health and well being of that cat that relies completely on you to live a safe and healthy future, and you are disregarding your community.

There are already too many cats out there to save, and rescues have to turn away cats and kittens that are suffering because there simply aren’t enough spaces or resources to save them all.

You aren’t saving a life if you aren’t caring for that life. You are simply perpetuating the problem, and cats and kittens are dying as a result.

Saving Odyssey! Before going to sleep last night I took one last look at Facebook and the first post on my wall was a picture of this severely injured kitten. 😿

I immediately reached out to Barbara, the director of Kitten & Puppy Division Adoption Center to see if she was available to meet me at the shelter because I was unsure of the full extent of this kitten’s condition and they are better suited for providing immediate medical intervention. She agreed to meet and I headed out right away to secure this poor baby.

It appears to be a wound of unknown origin that had gotten severely infected, seriously impacted the right hind leg which is probably beyond saving, but immediate treatment needed to be administered to prevent further tissue damage and infection.

Amazingly, this kitten is in good spirits and has good energy under the circumstances. Odyssey will need that strong will moving forward. Monday morning, Kitten Division’s shelter vet will examine further to determine the most likely outcome for Odyssey moving forward.

Keep watch for more updates here and on the Kitten Division page. We’re hoping desperately that this sweet kitten will have a fighting chance moving forward.

18/08/2024

The other day, Trapper Diane brought in this boy from Newburg who needed fixing and some TLC. Now neutered and vaccinated, he’ll no longer be wandering throughout the town looking for dates!

A fixed male is not only healthier, but safer as well. Without having that drive to mate, he’ll be more probe to stay close to home and avoid the dangers of crossing busy streets and coming face to face with other animals and people that may do him harm.

16/08/2024

On Tuesday we hit up a property in Waynesville where we secured these 10 cats and kittens to go to clinic to be fixed and vaccinated. It was a long TNR, often complicated by on and off range but we’re so happy that these kitties returned to their colony location to live happier and healthier lives and kitten free moving forward!

We’d like to thank all of our supporters that donate money and items to help us accomplish our mission. Spay and Neuter services as well as vaccinations are not free, and we can help reduce the amount of kittens being born outside without your support!

15/08/2024

Monday afternoon we headed out to 28 Shots Bar & Grill of Dixon to secure a momma and her 5 tiny kittens. This lady had popped up at their place a little bit ago and had kittens, but they weren’t sure where! Some of the employees made it their mission to locate the babies and they did!

They reached out to see if we could help, but my confidence was low that we would find empty cages anywhere. But they told me that one of the kittens had something wrong with its paw and sent a picture of what either looked like a bad injury or an improperly developed paw.

Kitten was too young to be without mom and luckily Kitten & Puppy Division Adoption Center said they would take everyone in so this kitten would get proper care.

Although it turns out that the paw was malformed, it wasn’t as bad as it originally looked in the picture. There are still a couple of paw pads there and the vet said to let it ride to see how kitten gets around as it gets older. There may be one claw that will have to be permanently removed because of the angle it is growing, but besides that, the hopes are that kitten will get around just fine.

A big thanks to the 28 Shots staff for not only caring, but for also safely securing this friendly mom and her kittens before we arrived!

15/08/2024

Monday we had just one sweet kitty from St Robert go to clinic to get fixed and vaccinated. She showed up at a colony we fixed a couple of years ago with two other cats. Kitten Division was able to squeeze her in at their low-cost spay/neuter clinic, and they are squeezing in another one on Thursday.

10/08/2024

On Wednesday we collected some cats and kittens from 2 different locations. The original intent was to get 5 kitties from Waynesville to get them fixed and vaccinated, but after getting all of the cats and kittens back to the BnB, one of the kittens was 2 ounces under weight to get fixed.

Not wanting to let a clinic spot go to waste, I knew of at least 1 cat in St Robert that needed fixing so I headed out there to set a trap. I didn’t get the cat that I was going for, but another girl found her way into our trap and all clinic spots were filled!

We’ll be returning to the Waynesville site in a month because there is another momma who has kittens and we are waiting for her kittens to come of age to go to clinic. The one that didn’t make weight will get collected again for the next clinic round.

Meet Felicity. This kitten popped up at the Fairfield Inn in St Robert. She is both currently scared of people but warms up to love quickly. But the reality of rescue is, there are no open cages in rescues. She is a very scared kitten beyond the age that you want to start socializing kittens.

Without having a cage at a shelter or an available foster family, we have only a short window to determine if she is adoptable because her only chance is at the BnB that has no personnel for about 20 hours a day. She needs to quickly learn to love humans with limited human contact, or be fixed and returned to the feeding station at the hotel.

Watch her initial progress in this video. If you would like to give the sweet but very scared kitten a full time foster home, more than we can provide now, contact Kitten & Puppy Division Adoption Center and help her blossom! You won’t regret your effort!

08/08/2024

A couple of young raccoons visited us at the BnB tonight. So very cute!

06/08/2024

This is Waffle, who ended up in one of our traps via interesting circumstances. I was first called by Kitten & Puppy Division Adoption Center because when they were at the shelter late at night trying to save the life of a kitten in severe medical distress, one volunteer discovered two friendly kittens just outside of the shelter! The assumption was that these kittens were dumped there, and while they were working on this dying kitten, they wanted some extra help to make sire there weren’t any more kittens in the area.

After several hours of searching while the staff stabilized the kitten, we all decided to go home. I was sitting in the parking lot catching up on some messages, the director reached out about a cat she saw at a local Waffle House. It didn’t seem too feral when she spoke to kitty, but it wouldn’t let her come close. So she asked if I could come out and trap this handsome boy. Employees from the Waffle House said it popped up only a few days before.

In the end, we trapped kitty. Waffle was fixed and vaccinated at their low-cost spay/neuter clinic, but as it turns out, Waffle was too wild to be adoptable, but neither party wanted to return him to the Waffle House because it’s a busy road where cats are often found as victims to cars.

The happy end to this story is the kitten who started this story is still hanging in there, and a barn home where Waffle can live his life in a safer environment has been found.

This little girl was an escapee in St Robert who found herself outside in unfamiliar territory. We don’t often spend our time on newly lost cats because they present several challenges. A lost cat, even when they are seen close to home, doesn’t care about food. They find themselves in unfamiliar territory and food is the last thing on their mind.

The first night we set up to trap this cat which presented herself over and over again, just ran around the area meowing. She was lost and confused. She had no interest in having a meal both within our lives traps or under our drop traps. We wasted 8 hours in trying to secure her.

We returned the following night and luckily, by that time she finally chose to eat under our drop trap, but by then, we spent nearly 10 hours over two nights to get this kitty back inside.

Don’t get ne wrong, I’m happy that she is back and safe, but that time spent could have resulted in a dozen or more comminity cats getting fixed to prevent several litters being born outside.

In the end, it all comes down to our mission. We became hyper focused on this one because she spent so many hours becoming close to being trapped.

I won’t say our overall decision to make sure this one cat was safe was wrong. But every hard decision we have to make has consequences.

TNR and cat rescue is never cut and dry and often comes at the sacrifice of the people that try to help. Give volunteers, which most trappers are, (we don’t get paid for this), some leeway. We make the best decisions we can at any moment, and sometimes our decisions don’t lead to the best utilization of our time, but we don’t always know that until we are involved, and once we are involved, we are dedicated to follow through.

This isn’t our job, this is our passion.

01/08/2024

Our last TNR mission brought us to St Robert, MO to help fix and vaccinate a momma and her three kittens. Unfortunately the kittens were older and unsocialized, and there were no available fosters left to assist with older kittens to make them comfortable with humans so they had to be returned to their caretakers.

If you would like to see more kittens taken from the streets to find their forever homes, consider becoming a foster for your local rescue organization.

18/07/2024

After taking a few days of vacation I came back and hit the ground running! It was off to Newburg, MO to secure these 8 wonderful kitties to go to clinic tomorrow to get fixed and vaccinated.

They are all sweet kitties. Only 4 were trusting enough to pick up and put into carriers but the others were just hesitant enough that they needed trapping.

We’re thrilled that these kitties will no longer continue to produce kittens on their property and will live safer, happier, and healthier lives!

14/07/2024

Another day, another round of kittens secured. This time in Waynesville, MO. Kitten & Puppy Division Adoption Center received a call looking for help and they reached out to see if we could assess this situation.

As of today, we removed 8 kittens and two adults from the property that went to Kitten Division for medical intake. The 8 kittens are being transferred to foster care and the 2 adults are staying with Kitten Division a little longer until they get fixed at their low-cost spay/neuter clinic and start their journey to find forever homes.

The site isn’t done yet. There are still several adults and kittens that the family wants to keep. We’ll be returning their to secure those kitties to get them to clinic to be fixed and vaccinated, and returned, and their is another litter of kittens only 2 weeks old that the family is still deciding whether to surrender when they are old enough to be separated from mom or keeping, or a mix of both.

12/07/2024

I forgot another TNR kitty! I’m not used to having another trapper to include in reports! Trapper Diane secured this wonderful boy to also go to Thursday’s clinic from Dixon, Mo.

He has also been fixed and vaccinated to make sure he isn’t running the streets to impregnate the girls, but on top of that, he won’t feel the need to fight for the title of pride leader, so he won’t suffer unnecessary wounds moving forward to have death matches with other males.

Why is that important? The two biggest illnesses we deal with in community cats are FIV and FeLV. Both are most commonly transmitted through deep puncture wounds from cat bites. If cats aren’t having life or death fights, chances are they aren’t sinking their fangs into another cat, which means transmission is greatly reduced.

TNR isn’t just about preventing kittens from being born, it’s about controlling transmittable diseases. Fixed cats create a healthier environment for all. Some people believe you just have to fix the girls to stop them from having kittens.

But fixed males greatly reduce the amount of transmittable diseases, fixed males wander less because they aren’t looking for ladies to reproduce with, and often become more docile because all they care about is food and shelter.

An unfixed male will travel up to 2 miles to find a lady to create more kittens in neighborhoods they don’t live in. Their travels end up with being run over on roads they don’t need to cross, the lack of travel prevents them from hurting other outdoor pets, and for the people who care for them, they become more docile.

We can’t prevent 100% of outdoor cat activity, but fixing both boys and girls creates better communities for cats and humans alike.

12/07/2024

More kittens at the colony we’ve been trying to save plus a TNR mission in Dixon, MO that had their own kittens to deal with.

The day started off yesterday with a TNR mission. We set out to trap 3 adults and 4 kittens. The adults would be fixed, vaccinated, and returned to their caretakers. The kittens would move on to Kitten & Puppy Division Adoption Center to start the process of them finding forever homes. Trapping went great! Everyone was secured within a few hours, and then we got the message…

The colony that we spent a week working to secure all the kittens first before their caretakers moved, and then going back to deal with the adults, had 5 more kittens pop out! There were no cages left. Not with us. Not in Kitten Division. So we reached out to a community member who expressed interest in fostering and she agreed to take them all. The caretakers agreed to take the kittens inside so they wouldn’t vanish on us like the last kitten did!

Today started off with getting the TNR adult cats to the clinic in Kitten Division and the kittens to be placed in a playpen there.

Then it was back home to grab our 4 foster kittens because they were going to clinic today as well to be ready for adoption (we didn’t want to put healthy, ready for adoption kittens in the same vehicle with TNR kitties)!

Then it was off to Newburg to the colony to secure the 5 kittens, get them back to Kitten Division for medical intake and hand off the kittens to their new foster mom 😻

At this point the TNR cats were done so it was back to the BnB with them to get them set up for a night of rest before they go back home.

11/07/2024

The struggle is real. Besides what are local shelters are facing to try and get animals in to provide vet care, spay and neuter services, so that they can find homes, TNR Patrol has dozens of calls regarding kittens on their properties. We are not an adoption agency and rely on our local shelters to get kittens off the streets. Community cats are a community situation, and without having animal control in our county we can’t solve problems without community members being a part of the solution.

It is heartbreaking to say “no” to someone or some animal because there is simply nowhere left to place them to save their lives.

Almost everyone who spends their lives saving and caring for our community animals are volunteers. It’s not our job, it’s our passion.

Contact your local shelter today and be a part of the solution. Saying that “you wish you can save them all” starts off with saving just one.

Lots of activity in the BnB today. Carmel, who has been a resident there for the past month has moved on to Kitten Division today. We will miss this very sweet girl!

After clearing out all the kittens from the colony in danger site, a new kitten, about a week old, was discovered. We made plans to secure momma and kitten but when we returned the next day momma had relocated the kitten! We spent the afternoon trying to find it with no luck. Of course, right when I returned home I got a message that the kitten was found! I wasn’t available to return so Trapper Diane headed out and secured momma and baby and now are both resting comfortably at the BnB.

We also are still housing the kitten we saw in the road and trapped. This little one is still very scared but is already allowing pets. We’ll get this one turned around soon we think!

07/07/2024

UPDATE ON THE EMERGENCY SITUATION WITH THE CATS AND KITTENS IN DANGER

A few community members stepped up and all of the kittens we were tracking have entered Kitten Division for intake today and then moved on to their foster homes!

We have another foster lined up that we are working with to bring home 2 of the adults, but we have a newly discovered kitten that was found shortly after we left the site with the other kittens.

We knew this was a possibility because the caretakers feared one of the ladies recently gave birth. Turns out they were right! Just 1 kitten is with momma. We will be returning to the site tomorrow to secure momma and kittens and set them up at the BnB just to make sure they are safe and to figure out a plan from there.

If you are willing to foster any of the remaining adults, please let us know and we’ll help get you set up.

Thank you Kitten & Puppy Division Adoption Center for helping this colony when we know you are already at critical mass with all the cats and kittens in your control!

Dealing With Last Kitten Syndrome

Dealing with last kitten syndrome when trying to trap a colony? That last kitty is so scared that it doesn’t care that it’s hungry, all it cares about is finding its family. There are many tricks, and here is just one. #tnr #tnrworks #communitycat #rescuecat #kittens #colonycats #straycat #catfoster #kittenfoster #fostercat #fosterkitten #TNRpatrol #rescuelife #trapneuterreturn

Another Kitten Was Out There!

Another Kitten Was Out There! We saw a post today that a small kitten showed up at a home right by where we trapped the kitten we saw in the road the other night. Kitten has been secured and is now safe with us. #tnr #tnrworks #communitycat #rescuecat #kittens #colonycats #straycat #catfoster #kittenfoster #fostercat #fosterkitten #TNRpatrol #rescuelife #trapneuterreturn

Kitten In The Road!

Kitten in the road! Driving home from the TNR Patrol BnB tonight I saw a kitten in the road not that far away. It ran off into the woods but I had to try and save it. 1 kitten secure. After a couple of hours no other kitten seen or trapped. No sign of a momma. Possibly a solo kitten but still not 100% sure. Will have to check again tomorrow. #tnr #tnrworks #communitycat #rescuecat #kittens #colonycats #straycat #catfoster #kittenfoster #fostercat #fosterkitten #TNRpatrol #rescuelife #trapneuterreturn

Emergency help needed!

🚨🆘EMERGENCY SITUATION🆘🚨 CAT FOSTERS AND LICENSED RESCUES NEEDED NOW‼️ We have a colony of 7 friendly adult cats and 12 kittens in imminent danger. This colony is located far out in the woods, the caretakers who inherited these cats are moving, and the only other home on this plot of land for these cats to possibly migrate to has unsecured dogs that are not friendly to the cats, and those home owners are not friendly to the idea of these cats coming back (where the first cats of this colony began). Kitten Division wants to help these cats but they have no empty cages. Fosters are required to save them or another licensed rescue with some spots to take control of these kitties can be life changing for them. If you can foster any of these kittens or adults, please reach out now. Fostering is easy and Kitten Division in Saint Robert can help you with the supplies to care for the kitties. If you are a licensed rescue, we can secure and transport any of these kitties to you. Please reach out for more information. This colony has no options left to be able to survive out there. Thank you 🙏 #tnr #tnrworks #communitycat #rescuecat #kittens #colonycats #straycat #catfoster #kittenfoster #fostercat #fosterkitten #TNRpatrol #rescuelife #trapneuterreturn

Meet Carmel. A St Robert hotel contacted Kitten Division about this kitty that showed up on their property a few days ago. She was very thin and very friendly. Kitten Division asked if we could check out the situation. They wanted to take her in but there was no cages left. What we found was a lovely girl that someone put out chocolate chip cookies (poisonous to cats) and a bowl of milk (cows milk is not good for kitties either but not dangerous like chocolate)! We had an open cage at the BnB so we grabbed her up, got her to the shelter vet for a checkup, and held on to her to monitor her for poisoning. She’s all good! Now to either find her family or get her into the adoption center to find a home. #tnr #tnrworks #communitycat #rescuecat #kittens #colonycats #straycat #catfoster #kittenfoster #fostercat #fosterkitten #TNRpatrol #rescuelife #trapneuterreturn

Meet Warren!😺 He is currently with us on stray hold, but if no one comes forward it will be time to find him a new INSIDE home. He saw the vet today for some care and is doing great. #tnr #tnrworks #communitycat #rescuecat #kittens #colonycats #straycat #catfoster #kittenfoster #fostercat #fosterkitten #TNRpatrol #rescuelife #trapneuterreturn

Meet “Raccoon”

A resident of Richland reached out on Facebook looking for help for this sick, solitary kitten that showed up on his property. We went out to secure it and Kitten & Puppy Division Adoption Center in St Robert agreed to take him in. Raccoon got to see the shelter vet at Kitten Division to get hundreds of burrs combed out of his fur, treatment for a nasty eye infection, and treated for ears full of mites. He’s now safe if their care while they nurse him back to health. #tnr #tnrworks #communitycat #rescuecat #kittens #colonycats #straycat #catfoster #kittenfoster #fostercat #fosterkitten #TNRpatrol #rescuelife #trapneuterreturn

Removing a nasopharyngeal polyp from a cat is life changing. Spending a life not being able to breathe properly to living a life for the first time breathing like a normal cat. #tnr #tnrworks #communitycat #rescuecat #kittens #colonycats #straycat #catfoster #kittenfoster #fostercat #fosterkitten #TNRpatrol #rescuelife #trapneuterreturn

Large TNR Mission Coming Soon In Dixon, MO

Our next mission takes us to Dixon. We scheduled clinics to fix all of these cats right away because there is an estimated 30+ cats! TNR is a numbers game, and when you come across a colony this size it moves ahead of the list because 30 cats will quickly turn into 50 or more before the end of the year and much more difficult and expensive to get under control. Our mission will be to trap every single cat in one big trapping mission and stop any kittens being born on that property ever again. #tnr #tnrworks #communitycat #rescuecat #kittens #colonycats #straycat #catfoster #kittenfoster #fostercat #fosterkitten #TNRpatrol #rescuelife #trapneuterreturn

Sammy Update Two

Another Sammy update. What a rollercoaster ride this past week with him! Sammy has spent his entire life struggling to breathe. We want to change his life forever. Please continue to share and support his story. We’ve spent $3500 in medical bills to help Sammy live a normal life for the first time in his life. We appreciate everyone who has donated so far but we are still $3000 away from our goal. TNR Patrol is a 501c3 nonprofit organizations and your donations may be tax deductible. Talk to your finance expert for more information. Check comments for donation options. Thank you all for all of your support!

Sammy Update - A Very Scary Day

Sammy had a life threatening emergency at the hospital after starting off with an amazing day. Thank you everyone who has donated and shared so far. Sammy will need much more support than we originally anticipated.

Help TNR Patrol Save Sammy

🆘‼️🚨We desperately need you help🚨‼️🆘 This is Sammy, and Sammy has been suffering his entire life, unable to breathe properly. We’ve taken Sammy to local vet appointments but unfortunately the vets were unable to determine the cause of his breathing difficulties. The belief is that he has something in his nasal passage such as a polyp or tumor preventing the free flow of air. Sammy needed to be transported to the Osage Animal Hospital for more advanced diagnostics today, including a CT scan to hopefully find a solution that is operable. Unfortunately, these types of diagnostics and the possible follow up surgery, is very expensive. It will cost TNR Patrol $2000-$3000 just to find answers and a minimum of $900 for surgical correction, all this after already spending over $400 in previous vet visits and medications. We don’t often make a direct plea for donations but we desperately want to try and help Sammy live a full and healthy life. He is the only inside companion for an elderly gentleman who loves him dearly but doesn’t have the resources to fix such a complicated medical situation. Please share, share, share! Any donation large or small is greatly appreciated to help sweet Sammy live the life he deserves.

The majority of work we do is with community cat feeders, whether they feed cats on their personal properties or in public spaces where stray and feral cats roam. Working with these feeders we can get the best intel on how many cats are in the area that need to be spayed/neutered, identify locations of kittens that need to be rescued from the streets, and also provide information about cats that need immediate medical care for serious illnesses or injuries. There are a lot of stigmas surrounding the feeding of stray and feral cats and we wanted to provide an opportunity to community cat feeders to tell their stories. Meet Susan in our first episode of Community Cat Feeders.

It can be scary when you see a kitty not using one of its legs. If there is no obvious sign of injury such as deformity, open wound, or severe swelling, sometimes a few days of cage rest and observation is all a kitty needs before rushing off to a vet. #cat #catrescue #tnrpatrol #tnr #tnrworks #trapneuterreturn #cats #communitycats #kitty #straycats
