Kiss 4 Homeless Animals We are a very small group of volunteers dedicated to helping Las Vegas Cats forced to live outside via TNR and nightly feeding.

Just a few volunteers giving a lot of time and money. We are a very small rescue organization that concentrates on pulling long term residents of the shelter system; giving them specialized medical care, socializing them, and helping them find forever homes. We concentrate on pets that are not chosen for adoption after many months or even years usually because they are shy, scared, or do not show

well in a long term caged environment. After just a couple days or weeks they always blossom and are incredibly grateful to finally have a family again.

Still hoping Dreamy will use the new shelter this winter! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

📢 How to encourage an outdoor cat to use a shelter...

In most cases, cats will figure out how to use shelters on their own. Here are a few things you can do to attract them if it doesn't seem like your cats are using the shelter:

▪️ Be patient. Some cats need a lot of time to get comfortable with a new shelter.
▪️ Loosely fill the shelter ½ to ¾ full of straw, NOT HAY. Replace the straw every year.
▪️ Remove any door flaps on the shelter. While doorway flaps help keep cold air out and warm air in, they should not be added until after your cats are used to going in and out of the shelter.
▪️ Do not place food in or near the shelter. Cats instinctively avoid sleeping near food as it attracts other cats and wildlife (predators).
▪️ Location is important. Place the shelter where your cats are already hanging out. More feral/less social cats typically want to shelter farther away from humans. The more secluded the shelter, the more likely cats are to use it.
▪️ Place the shelter near natural cover, as opposed to out in the open where your cats may not feel safe. Cats prefer to move along walls, hedges, or other natural barriers and boundaries. Place the shelter under or up against a building, fence, tree, porch, bush, or some type of overhang.
▪️ Place the shelter with the entrance facing away from the wind, rain, and snow.
▪️ Make sure the shelter is on a flat surface. A wobbly shelter could discourage cats from entering.
▪️ It’s possible that your cats have another shelter where they feel safe. They may already have a shed, crawlspace, or some other shelter they prefer.
▪️ When all else fails, try a new location, but only after giving your cats plenty of time to explore and get used to the current location.

(We thank FeralVilla.com for this great advice!)

💛 THANK YOU to the caregivers who have taken the time to build a feral cat shelter. Protection from the elements is critical, especially during the cold months, and your thoughtfulness will no doubt save many lives this winter. 🐾❄️

OK! I successfully got Mr Valley Boy in the carrier today and he is with me overnight. We leave tomorrow morning for his FOREVER HOME in California!
VB was with his wonderful, selfless foster, Cameron, for over 2 months! And I cannot thank him and his "tribe" enough for teaching Valley how to live indoors. Thank you Cam!😽 😽

Mr Dreamy tonight... He doesn't have any straw on him so I'm guessing he doesn't feel safe in that big lot. Sure wish there was a way to show them how to use the shelters! 🤔

Awww.. Sweet memory of Baby Black Beauty five years ago in her old "home" in the alley. BB3 is doing fairly well all things considered. She lives with a wonderful volunteer in a bedroom by herself and is no longer our there in the elements. She's still feral and can't be touched and surprisingly shows no interest in looking out the window. I'm sure she misses Dreamy after all these months. ♥️

So nice to see Victoria being nice to little Jazzy G! ❤️

PLEASE HELP!!!! Who remembers skinny Decoy from the Wash Colony? 🐈‍⬛ He is SO friendly and I tried for months to find him a home or Rescue but he is FIV positive and therefore VERY hard to place, especially now when every Rescue is FULL! "D" (now Duke) did get VERY lucky as a kind couple (thank you Jacquie and Matt!) has been taking care of him in there outdoor CATIO and they even got him set up to live at Silver Whiskers Feline Rescue!! Unfortunately, Duke had another turn of bad luck and has now been diagnosed with Wet FIP 😢 Silver Whiskers is still going to help him but the daily medication is very intense and VERY Expensive! The initial diagnosis and treatment is over $2,500.00! If you have the means, PLEASE DONATE towards little Duke's medication. He will go to Silver Whiskers if he can beat this awful disease! He's so young and friendly. Please help if you can and please SHARE! ♥️ https://www.paypal.com/us/fundraiser/charity/2292835 OR https://www.kissforhomelessanimals.com/donations.html THX!!

Dreamy fans.. 😼I know he looks like I would be able to grab him. But I am lying down on my stomach reaching the phone under the gate. So definitely not doable.

Little Jazzy at the Boarding Colony came to greet me for the first time in several months tonight. I think the abrupt change in the weather has sparked their appetites! 😋😺

Mr Valley Boy decided he needed a good public bath today.. His Foster pal, Maury, supervised. 🐈‍⬛🐈

Update on Valley Boy!!! 😺 While VB still isn't coming out to meet Cameron and his crew on his own , we did have a great visit yesterday! He hid from me briefly and then wanted loves. He took squeeze ups from Cam and sat on his lap when I put him there. He purrs a LOT and loves to be pet. Eating well and using box and totally fine with the other cats. 😊😁 I am posting both his invoice and Decoy just prior to that in comments, since between the two, it cost $1,100! 🙀 If you can help at all, please click: paypal.com/us/fundraiser/charity/2292835 OR Go to our website at www.KissForHomelessAnimals.com Thank you!

Well... That's a fine How Do You Do... Sheesh! Starr Kitty. I love you too. Enjoy your dinner! 😋

Hi everyone.. This is Mr Duke (formerly Decoy). I've been trying to get him an indoor home for several months. A rescue is willing to give him a chance at adoptions but he needs a trial period (1-2 weeks) living INDOORS to see how he adapts. The problem is that Duke is FIV positive so I can't find anyone willing to give him an at home, very short term, foster. He is only about 18 mos old, healthy.. friendly with people (and fine with other cats in the colony). Does anyone have a situation where "D" could live indoors for a couple of weeks among people (not just in a room all alone) to see how he does? If he does well at your home, he already has a rescue willing to take him. He is currently living outside in a "catio" and will have to be released there if we can't find a foster to test him. You can text me at 702-275-5925. Kim. Thank you!

OK! After a rocky start (the vet had to gas Valley Boy to do tests and Chip which sucked for him and created a $600 bill for us! 😭), BUT we now flew all the way to Step SEVEN! 😃😃 😃.. Valley Boy was back to his friendly self (with me) as soon as I got him out of the carrier at his Foster's house. Cameron and his beautiful kitties are going to let him decompress for a bit in his own room and hopefully he will settle in to life indoors in a few days or so. Stay tuned....! THANK YOU Cameron for stepping up! #ittakesavillage PS... I will be asking for donations (I will post the bills) as between Valley Boy and Decoy we have spent over $1,000! 🥹
