We updated some pricing to show current cost variances between adopting a rescue cat and getting one for free. As you can see, there is quite a cost savings! Remember, if you find kittens, giving them away unfixed and unvaccinated, just spreads out the problem and leads to more kittens and more diseases. We know it's tough right now, but be persistent- room will open at a rescue or at a shelter. Or ask for help! There are lots of people in our community that will help prevent kittens from being rehomed without being fixed or vaccinated.

Spay & Neuter Day for these cuties on the Mini Cat Town Spay Shuttle. Inky Blinky Pinky and Clyde are making progress coming out of their shy shell.

Another small trapping job complete! Feral Mom and her 4 kittens, about 10/12 weeks old and on the slightly shy side. They have definite potential to make great companions so we are giving them a chance. They are set up in a foster home at the house from which whose yard they came from. Mom was fixed and released back outside. She’s had at least two litters if not more. These kittens will be fostered for a few weeks until they are ready for adoption! They’ll be fixed chipped and vaxxed! Please share this post and help raise funds for their surgeries and supplies.

A friend is doing a birthday fundraiser for my rescue, in honor of me fostering her cat and kittens back in April/May for 6 weeks until kittens were ready for adoption.

If you are feeding 1 or 2 stray/feral community cats, spay and neuter ASAP through the process of Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR)!

Spaying and neutering is a one-time cost (and you won't have to feed 12+ cats after those 2 cats you started feeding, turn into many more!!!)

❗️And guess what? --- You DO NOT NEED TO WAIT TO GAIN A COMMUNITY CAT'S TRUST TO GET THAT CAT SPAYED OR NEUTERED. A humane trap is safest for them and you!

✅️ Trap/Neuter/Return any community cat you are feeding!

Please google Low-Cost Spay Neuter clinics in your area! Many areas have resources to help!

If you're in the Charlotte, NC area, please visit our website to learn more about TNR and low-cost options in our area - https://www.friendsofferalfelines.org/how-to-tnr.

Spay day for adoptable Carly

Amanda's Cat Rescue
Two more TNR kitties five months old, finally getting their spay and neuter surgeries today! I Fixed their mama and a whole colony of Moms and rescued many kittens back in April/May, but their mama cat hid these two so well that I was not able to rescue them in time so that they could go be adoptable. Thankfully however they have a super nice yard and someone who takes care of them and spoils them every day, so not a bad option!

From Stray Cat TNR ...

PLEASE do not refer to a friendly cat as "feral" simply because that cat lives outside - using stray or community cat is better.

The word feral means the exact opposite 🔁 of friendly and describes temperament ONLY.

Feral DOES NOT refer to a cat who is:
❌ Dirty
❌ Ear-tipped
❌ Homeless
❌ Unaltered
❌ Injured

🤔 A feral cat can be all those things, but those things don't make him feral.

❗️ The words feral and friendly describe the cat's temperament ONLY❗️

Feral DOES refer to a cat who is:
🐈‍⬛ Unhandleable
🐈‍⬛ Unsocialized to humans
🐈‍⬛ Fearful of people
🐈‍⬛ More comfortable visiting at night

You may be asking yourself, "What difference does it make?"

Since adult 'feral' cats are not socialized to people, they are likely to be euthanized if brought to shelters, so it is in their best interest to continue living outdoors. TRAP, NEUTER, RETURN is their best option for a better life for truly feral cats.

'Friendly' outdoor cats who are thriving and don’t have identification indicating they are lost can be fixed and returned to their outdoor home or fostered and adopted after a stray hold period if those resources are available in your area.

✅️ No matter if the cat is friendly, feral, scared, stray, semi-feral, or feeder friendly, make sure all the cats you feed are spayed/neutered and vaccinated.

Without meeting them in person, I agreed to help cover the cost of 6 cats to be fixed for a lady who uses my same vet clinic. The head secretary Jan at Kirkwood Animal Hospital told me that this long time client of theirs needs help with some young semi ferals and their mom and dad cats who need spay and neuter surgery. Free appointments are almost nonexistent so I agreed to cover the cost if they arranged the appointments and transport on their end. This note was super sweet 🥹 If anyone can help chip in, I’d be forever grateful!

I need another cat like I need a hole in my head…. Thanks to HSSV for accepting this little San Jose stray babygirl into their adoption program. Great work to Louise for trapping her at midnight!
