Let's give you some sunshine on such a cold and miserable day.
We first met Baby Girl back at the end of 2021. She was living on the grounds of a local school, raising her babies. We trapped this little family but sadly Baby Girl had no interest in human interaction so she was returned to her home.
We only conduct ethical trap neuter return, which means we provide daily feeding and lifetime veterinary care. So we set up a roster of volunteers to care for Baby Girl.
We have mentioned before that scaredy cats need to socialise on their own timeline. And over time we watched Baby Girl become so loving towards her carers, in particular Tim.
When the carers contacted us late last year to say Baby Girl was losing fur, we headed out to trap her to ensure she received veterinary treatment. We took her to the vet for a complete assessment and she then went back to Tim's house for a period of recovery.
It quickly became evident that Baby Girl's blossoming romance with Tim was a forever love! Baby Girl has now been adopted by Tim and his wife with their resident cats accepting Baby Girl, now known as Toothless, into their home although Baby Girl has shown them she is the boss!
Once again this just shows that TNR brings us a step closer to achieving what the government wants in all cats will be adopted. But trap and kill methodologies robs them of the chance to socialise on their timeline.
TNR works in more ways than one.
