We've logged soooo many hours trapping over the last few weeks, trying so desperately to prevent kittens from being born into a world where there are already too many unwanted cats and kittens. Trapping for TNR doesn't mean leaving traps set and going back later to check them. That is dangerous for the cats and any other animal that might get caught. Responsible, humane trapping means staying with the traps while they are set. It's a time consuming task.

Each location we're working on right now only has the stragglers left to catch. The smart ones. The difficult ones. The ones intent on driving me crazy. 🫠

We have made some super important catches lately, but the amount of time dedicated compared to the amount of success achieved just ain't jammin'. This stripey gal is a matriarch at her colony and all I want in the whole entire world right now is to get her spayed!! Send us every little cat catching vibe you can muster. We need some wins this week!

*We are not currently able to offer any TNR or spay/neuter assistance to the public.*

Thank you to everyone who chipped in to help us get that $100 donation match! 😍

We want to be able to keep helping the cats that don't have anyone else, but we can't do that alone. Right now we need to keep working towards reaching our $5,000 fundraising goal so we can get more cats to the vet and keep tending to our feral colonies. $4,720 to go!
https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=4TTJG3AXNGGF2

We also need reliable, hands-on help with the following things:

• People willing to take the lead on getting food donated, arranging food drives with local businesses, etc., and periodically setting up at local stores to collect food donations. Our #1 need is always cat food.

• People willing to transport cats in traps to/from/round trip to the Fix'Em Clinic in Charleston and Mountain View Humane in Christiansburg. 1-2 cats at a time, no touchy cats, in your personal vehicle, gas provided. This task comes with smells. We need people with open weekday availability to help with this.

Please send us a message if you can help. If you can't, please share our posts to let the world know our needs. 💓

🧡 $5 FRIDAY 🧡
🐱 $100 DONATION MATCH 🐱

We are so fortunate to have another amazing friend willing to offer a donation match! Every donation we receive until we hit $100 will DOUBLE.
Chip in your $5 today and it will become $10!

We've had some big trapping wins this past week, including Yemen! We've been after this boy for a good long while. Finally, we got him! He is so beat up from fighting and it hurt my heart to see. 😔 He is another reminder as to why we do not give up on a cat just because they are playing hard to get. Every cat can be caught-- it just takes persistence.

Yemmy will have a whole new life now, free from the overwhelming tug of testosterone that would otherwise cause him a life of endless pain, roaming, and struggle. He's upset for now, but he doesn't know what a fortune he's stumbled into. 🥰

Besides funds, we're urgently in need of food right now, too. If you'd rather send food, please check out our wishlists! All linkies in comments below.

Will you be our Valentine? 😻

Food = love in these parts and we need lots of it! If you could send a bag of food or two for all these hungry babies, you'll be their hero. 💓 We'd love to pull in at least 30 bags of dry food to help get us through the rest of the month.

All the ways you can help are in the comments below!

*We'll have a meet time next week to collect food in person.*

The face of an angry little lady who doesn't know how much better her life just got! 🤎🤎🤎

This feral mommy has been popping out kids for years. Her caretaker has tried and tried and tried to catch her, but ya know, some of us are difficult. 🤗

The best thing ever happened last night-- Mama finally caved and got herself caught!! Hello, retirement! Today we were able to help get her in for spay and put a great big period of her baby making days.

Another reminder to NEVER give up. If you keep trying, you WILL get that wiley wildie that has been eluding you!

🖤 $500 DONATION MATCH 🖤

We're at $225 received towards our donation match! These funds will go towards paying off our Fix'Em Clinic balance + neutering some boys this week. What's better than having your $$ doubled AND it being used to prevent unwanted babies from being born AND giving some big ol' boys the magical gift of peaceful, happier, healthier lives?!

This cute, cute, cutie is Cody. He is on the list for the big ✂️. Problem is, he had a front row seat to see his BFF get caught in December and he has not forgotten. He's really making us log some attempted trapping hours! I confess he may not let us win this round. 😑

🖤 $500 DONATION MATCH! 🖤

Remember Fritz? The year and a half-ish long endeavor to catch him? Welllll, guess who is FINALLY getting neutered this week!!! 🙌🎉

We get to celebrate with a $500 donation match, thanks to an amazing friend! This will enable us to pay off our balance at the clinic and get more 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ in for fixin'.

This handsome, big cheeked boy is seriously feral at his core. He's had multiple injuries in the time we've spent trying to catch him. The thought of how many babies he's been out there making all this time is enough to make me feel ill. All that is finally over! Fritzy will be so much healthier and so much happier with those ⚫️⚫️ gone. Persistence pays off. No cat is uncatchable if you keep trying 'til you get 'em.

Let's get this $500 matched and knock out another chunk of our fixin' and vetting needs this week!

❣️ $5 FRIDAY ❣️

We are in dire straits for funds to pay off our existing balances and to get multiple cats to the the vets. Every little bit helps!

This is Sandy, resident of a local feral colony for many years. He is at least 10 years old. He got very sick and began sitting out in the snow, drenched and freezing, as if determined to wait for someone to help him. Help came. 🧡
Being warm and indoors alone has been excellent medicine, but he has the chonic viral funk and dental disease. He needs to get scheduled for meef relief ASAP.

Melvin is the tiniest man in town. He lives for a nice, warm sunbeam! 🌞🤎

We've been hard at work for our colonies this month, despite the FB silence. We have been managing/caring for feral cats for 11 years. The last 6 weeks or so has been the hardest, most trying time since we began this work. The struggles have been unending. The extreme weather has not helped. But we're trying to come out the other side of it! Sunbeams make things better, just ask Melvin. 🥰

❤️ $5 Friday ❤️

Today's our first $5 Friday for December, with a $500 need! This past weekend, Jasper's face swelled up like crazy. He went to the vet Monday and Tuesday he had 2 teeth pulled. Both teeth had abscessed into his sinus, causing this huge swelling. He had never even acted like anything was going on in his mouth, so this was some surprise meef relief! He feels a million times better now, thankfully. We've had 2 serious cases of facial swelling/dental abscesses recently, both the likes of which we've never seen before, which is crazy. 😵‍💫

Can you chip in for this week's vet bills? We're also working towards our year-end fundraising goal to get everything paid off and start the new year off right. Any little bit you can give will make such a big difference. ❤️

We're out scooping up kittens that have appeared at our colonies in just the last few days to keep them from freezing in the coming winter weather. Imagine being the kind of people who are okay with dumping tiny babies at the start of winter to fend for themselves. 😣

We absolutely cannot leave these littles out in the cold. We are on overload the whole way around, cannot keep food in stock, and really need some miracles to come through. Will you be a miracle for us? The work we do and the funds we raise are 100% for cats on/from the streets who genuinely have no one else. We need your help to be able to keep helping them. ❤️

Here are all the ways you can help:

■ SHARE this post! Let people know about the important work we do and encourage them to help!

■ Send food or supplies from our wishlists. We are URGENTLY in need of both cat and kitten food, dry and canned.

Archie feels so much better since having his rotten tooth plucked! The scab on his face is where the infection drained from. It was super swollen, but is looking much better now with no more drainage. We love meef relief around here! 🥰

❣️TENS for KITTENS!❣️ Here's a kitten, there's a kitten, everywhere's another kitten! 🙀 We have a $500 need this week specifically for kitten vet bills + supplies. If enough people chip in $10, we'll get it covered quick. **$215 / $500 received so far** This tiny graybie was born to a feral mom, but he's already purring and loving loves. He has one belligerent sibling we're still trying to scoop up. They were born about a week before we started working to spay/neuter and provide medical care at this colony. Their colony isn't the healthiest, but we're fixing that and stopping all babymaking! Little guy was covered in lice and has some upper respiratory funk, but he's looking at a bright future as a happy little housecat. 🩶 We want to provide that for all the kittens we encounter at the colonies we work on. We can only do that with your help! Can you spare $10 today?

Our Story

Loved at Last (LAL) is a refuge to special needs and unadoptable cats & a beacon of hope to the forgotten stray and feral cats living on the streets of Raleigh County. LAL has a core mission of decreasing the population of cats in our community and improving the lives of the existing cat population. LAL adamantly believes that the simple act of spaying and neutering is the key to reducing the number of suffering, homeless, and unwanted cats. Through our Community Cat Project we have implemented the first TNR program in our community.

Our small team currently feeds, monitors, and cares for more than 140 cats across Raleigh County every single day, on top of providing TNR and assistance to other feral colonies and colony caretakers.
