Update: Adoption pending!

🐈‍⬛ Oogie Boogie is ready for his forever home!
"Some of you may remember seeing my posts with Oogie Boogie when he was a tiny newborn. I bottle raised him since he was about 4 days old. He just turned 5 mos old and he's FINALLY available for adoption. Oogie Boogie got to stay with me much longer than most of my bottle babies because we had to delay his neuter surgery for a couple months. He had a condition called cryptorchid... which is a fancy way of saying one of his balls didn't drop 🤦🏼‍♀️ At long last, my sweet baby boy is available for adoption!! Oogie is a goofball!! He's also very sweet."
– Heather H, foster mom –

🐈‍⬛ You can easily make arrangements to meet Oogie Boogie by submitting an adoption form: feralfriends.org/cat-adoption/
(Home visits are available. Also, you can foster-to-adopt or sponsor Oogie Boogie.)

Attention trappers:
TCAP no longer accepts transfer cages.
texasforthem.org

This is an FYI for those that use a drop trap and use the transfer traps.
Some of us were informed TODAY that TCAP will no longer be accepting FERAL cats in a TRANSFER TRAP. This includes the first 12 AND FERAL APPOINTMENTS! (Yes, the transfer trap in the picture.)
Texas Coalition for Animal Protection, these transfer traps were designed for trapping. We have so many cats that the only way to trap them is with a drop trap. The transfer traps are traps. They make it SAFE for us to finish the trapping for that cat. I am begging you to reconsider this. I have cats already caught for next week that are in transfer traps. I cannot move them.

BIRD FLU & CATS - GET THE FACTS!
https://sheltermedicine.vetmed.ufl.edu/.../h5n1-avian.../
Neighborhood Cats, along with the caretakers, trappers and clinics who make up our TNR community, is concerned about avian influenza and how it may impact us and the cats we care for. To handle this serious situation well, it’s vital to access and rely upon expert sources and not be swayed by rumors or outright misinformation.
The best place that we’re aware of to start learning the truth and getting sound advice is the article, H5N1 Avian Influenza Resources for Shelters, Rescues, and Access-to-Care Clinics, from the University of Florida, College of Veterinary Medicine’s Shelter Medicine Program. The page lists other reliable sources of info, goes over the basics of what bird flu is, how it spreads and much more, and offers advice for working with cats safely. There is even a section on What should community cat management and trap-neuter-return programs do?
So the next time you read a news article where a well-meaning but uninformed person claims all the cats are going to get sick and everyone who comes near them will, too, don’t panic! Go to the resource page and find out what’s really going on.

Did you find kittens?
Here is valuable information and resource links on what to do
from Mid-Cities Community Cats.
m-ccc.com

🔥IMPORTANT INFO… we are now in kitten season!🔥
🐱If you find Orphaned Kittens🐱
❗️Not all kittens need help❗️

The best place for kittens is with their mother, so before you scoop up kittens you find outdoors, it is important to determine if they’re truly orphans or if mom is hiding or hunting nearby.

If mom is nearby, let her be the one to care for them until they are 8-weeks-old. Mom is their best chance of survival. After the kittens are 8-weeks-old, the DFW Kitten Network can help you make sure both mom and kittens are spayed/neutered.

💥PRO-TIP💥
Mom might be scared to come back if you’re watching her nest. Try leaving a ring of flour around the kittens and checking back after a few hours to see if you can see mom’s footprints.

🐱What to do if you find a kitten.

🐾🐾 Betty is a very special kitty with extra toes(Hemingway Polydactyl)– now at the Petco Garland Firewheel!
🐾🐾 Betty is playful and rambunctious – loves heights and playing with toys and strings. She loves to sleep in a cozy bed, at the top of a cat tree, or on a fuzzy blanket right next to you. She's a big snuggler and expert biscuit maker. Betty has 5 toes on her back feet and extra big kitty thumbs on her fronts. She uses a scratcher without issue and does not tear up furniture, but occasionally needs to be redirected to an appropriate place. She is extremely friendly – has never met a stranger and loves new people. She has not had much experience with dogs, but does well with kids as long as they respect her space or else she will pop them with her paw (as she has done with my kids, but it is always warranted on her part and a good lesson to them). She is a total pack animal and wants to be where everyone else is. She is extremely affectionate and loves pets and scratches and will get very pushy with you for more. She does not like being groomed. She also doesn't shed much.

🐾🐾 You can easily make arrangements to meet Betty by submitting: feralfriends.org/cat-adoption
(Home visits are available. Also, you can foster-to-adopt or sponsor Betty.)

It’s that time of year! People think they need to get out there and clean up their lawns and flower beds but really you need to wait! Wait until the overnight temperatures are above 50° so that the pollinators have time to wake up and start doing their pollinating thing.

It’s also time for a baby bunny nests! I’ll bump up my post on what to do when you have a dog and you find a bunny nest after this post. Always walk your yard and look for bunny nests. If you don’t want rabbits in your yard? You’re going to have to secure your fence line and I can help you do that with ideas and resources.

Let’s hop to it and give our little ground animals a fighting chance this season!
