Seriously???? Went to Vernon’s last night. 2:30am I hear kitten crying coming from the garage. After 3 hours of trying to coax our little hitchhiker out of the undercarriage of our car, I finally learned how to remove the liner from the frunk. I guess this one will be named Verna June. Please people - if you feed them please get them trapped and fixed!

We took 10 kitties to Burleson yesterday for spay/neuter. This was just the warm up act for our 100 cat spay/neuter day Saturday. Keep our kitties, trappers, volunteers, and vet in your thoughts and prayers. It’s exhausting and so very worthwhile.

Last week when we were trapping cats for our big spay/neuter day, we came across this kitty who needs more help than we can afford. If you can help, we would greatly appreciate it!

If you have an Amazon Prime Business Account and would like to help us out, there is a sale on Cat Traps that appears to only be available for business accounts. Havahart 1079SR that usually costs over $80 are on sale for $12.88 + tax. But, they limit the number anyone can buy to 3 traps and I've already bought my limit.

Please don't buy if the price is $80 which is what comes up for non-business accounts. I'll post when they go on sale for non-business accounts.

For the price of a super-sized meal at a fast food restaurant, would you be willing to buy us a trap and have it sent as a gift? If so, you can send it to:

Feral and Community Cat Trappers needed!


Calling all trapping volunteers!


Whether you are an expert trapper or ready to be a trapper in training, we need your help!

There are a number of colonies around the lake that are large and elderly caregivers need assistance to get them trapped and to/from the vet clinics for spay and neuter.

It is so important to get as many of these cats sterilized so the populations can be humanely controlled!

If anyone is able to help, please email us at [email protected]

Please open your wallets to support Feral Friends Community Cat Alliance. Last week, they partnered with Adopt a Barn Cat and All About Fixin' to spay and neuter almost 60 cats around Cedar Creek Lake and Athens Tx. We explained we were trying to help homeowners who were feeding anywhere from 6 - 40 stray and roaming cats and their populations were multiplying. Feral Friends Community Cat Alliance didn't look the other way. They said YES. PLEASE don't scroll without helping them top up their funds.

Please consider using some of your Black Friday savings to help us provide a second chance for feral and other cats who are not living in safe conditions. We began Adopt a Barn Cat in January of 2023. In eleven months, we have relocated over 150 cats from shelters and unsafe situationsinto barns and other safe locations.

Sadly, we still have 152 cats on our waiting list. Some of these have elderly colony caretakers who have become overwhelmed by unchecked reproduction. Some need our help to Trap/Neuter/Vaccinate/Return (TNVR) their colony. Others have neighbors threatening their cats and even them so need our help to TNV then relocate the cats.

Starting today, Giving Tuesday, through the end of the year, our goal is to raise $2,000.

We are small but mighty. Will you help?

Are any of my rescue friends caring for a dog with Canine Kidney Disease? Is so, please pm me.

N. East Texas Adopt a Barn Cat has a waiting list of cats needing a safe barn for relocation. All are spayed or neutered and up to date on vaccinations. We set up the acclimation crates in your barn, shop, warehouse, etc. we provide mentoring for safe and effective acclimation. Once your cats are ready for release, we pick up all the acclimation equipment. Please message me for complete details.

We need live traps to help with TNVR for a large colony. Do any of our friends have a live trap in their garage that they might be willing to loan or donate to us? We are outside the DFW Tx area at Cedar Creek Lake. Thanks in advance!

Today, we also placed Lela and Kitty Kitty as backyard buddies. After a few weeks getting used to the sights, sounds, and smells of their new home they’ll be guarding the chicken feed and being companions for their new human siblings. The homeowner got this great feral cat house which will be complete with heating mat. We incorporated it into the acclimation crate so it should get lots of use after kitties are released

Today we placed Pumpkin, previously Tiger with such a sweet family. We generally place cats in barns, backyards, and businesses but we’re helping relocate a large colony that included a few friendly kitties. Pumpkin will take some time to adjust to his new home. Right now he is still doing his best Impression of statue. Sweet boy!
