📚 Our BACK TO BASICS SERIES: FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus)

FeLV is a common infectious disease, specific to cats, that impairs a cat's immune system. It can cause cancer and leaves the cat susceptible to illness. There is no cure.

**LINKS TO MORE INFORMATION ABOUT FeLV CAN BE FOUND IN THE COMMENTS BELOW THIS POST.**

🔶Quick facts:
➡FeLV is transmitted through the saliva, nasal secretions, urine, f***s, and milk of infected cats.
➡Direct contact with these bodily fluids, mutual grooming, shared litter boxes and food dishes, and bite wounds all expose uninfected cats to the virus.
➡A vaccine is available but not 100% effective.
➡An infected cat can be asymptomatic and live a NORMAL LIFE for a prolonged period of time!
➡FeLV is quickly diagnosed through a blood test.
➡FeLV is NOT transmissible to humans or other animals.
➡If you have an indoor/outdoor cat, you risk its FeLV status every time it goes outdoors.
➡In the U.S., approximately 4% percent of cats are infected with FeLV.

📢 EDUCATION IS KEY!!!!!
➡FeLV+ cats are EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to adopt out because many people are uneducated about FeLV.
➡FeLV+ cats are often immediately euthanized, even though they show NO SIGNS of illness. 💔 Stop unnecessary euthanization through education!
📢 FeLV+ cats should NOT be EUTHANIZED unless they are ill or suffering beyond what can be treated.
📢 If you're in rescue or doing TNR, please note:
➡Before you place a cat for adoption (or in a foster home with other cats), it should be tested for FeLV.
➡Adopt that cat out with full disclosure about its FeLV+ status. The adopter must be aware that the cat MAY require more veterinary care than the average house cat.
➡Beware of false positives in FeLV tests for cats of all ages.
➡To limit the spread of the disease, FeLV+ cats should be placed in homes with other FeLV+ cats or homes without cats. Or, FeLV- cats already in household could be vaccinated against the disease. Consult a vet.
➡We don't FeLV test the cats we TNR. Alley Cat Allies also holds this position.
➡ADVOCATE for FeLV+ cats! 💪

📚 Our BACK TO BASICS SERIES: FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus)

FIV is a virus specific to cats and is often erroneously referred to as "cat AIDS." It is similar to AIDS in that it attacks and weakens the immune system and there is no cure. Reliable information about FIV is plentiful on the internet. We encourage you to learn more about it!

Here are some quick facts:
➡FIV is transmitted through deep bite wounds.
➡FIV is NOT transmissible to humans or dogs.
➡Cats with FIV can live long, healthy, happy and normal lives!
➡Intact males with outdoor access are most likely to be infected.
➡Kittens may be infected before, during, or after birth (while nursing).
➡FIV is quickly diagnosed through a blood test.
➡If you have an indoor/outdoor cat, you risk its FIV status every time it goes outdoors.
➡FIV+ cats CAN live with non-infected cats as long as they can co-exist peacefully. (Remember, this virus is primarily transmitted through deep bite wounds. If the cats don't fight, there's little worry about transmission.)
➡In the U.S., approximately 2.5-5% percent of healthy cats are infected with FIV.

📢 EDUCATION IS KEY!!!!! FIV+ cats have a VERY difficult time getting adopted because of their status. In the past, they were immediately euthanized instead of put up for adoption. Help CHANGE THE PARADIGM! Educate others about the virus and how cats can live a long, healthy, normal life with FIV. Manage expectations. Let's get these cats in homes!

📢 If you're in rescue or doing TNR, please note:
➡Before you place a cat for adoption (or send it to foster in a home with other cats), it should be tested for FIV. Adopt that cat out with full disclosure about its FIV status.
➡Beware of false positives in kittens under 6 months of age!
➡You can place FIV+ cats in homes with other cats that are not FIV+. Educate the adopter and make sure the cats are not likely to fight with each other.
➡We don't FIV test the cats we TNR. Alley Cat Allies also holds this position.

📚 Our BACK TO BASICS SERIES: the importance of MICROCHIPS 🐾💙

We believe in microchipping every cat we touch: friendly and feral, owned and unowned. Microchips save lives! 🐱💉

We all know that a registered microchip will help a lost, owned cat find its way home. They're even more important for community cats! ➡➡A microchip on a feral/unowned/colony cat will help that cat get back to its outdoor home and save it from euthanasia should it be taken to a shelter.⬅⬅ Otherwise, an unmicrochipped feral cat will usually be euthanized in the shelter as the staff considers it unadoptable and assumes it has no home/doesn’t belong anywhere/isn’t wanted. A microchip identifies that cat as a valued member of a community that needs to be returned to that community. We microchip all of our TNRed cats. We subsequently register the microchip to our organization and the colony caretaker if one exists. 🏡🔗

If you are a registered non-profit, you are eligible to PURCHASE MICROCHIPS for just $5 EACH from Merck Animal Health via their HomeAgain Shelter 90 Program. Microchips come with lifetime registration, so there’s no additional cost to you or the consumer to register them! What a GREAT DEAL! 💥For more information on this program, visit https://account.merck-animal-health-usa.com/. HomeAgain also offers a free scanner with new orders, although our Halo scanner easily reads these chips as well. 💲👍

Finally, it goes without saying that an unregistered microchip is worthless. We ensure that every microchip is registered by registering them ourselves. We list ourselves as the primary contact and the adopter/colony caretaker as the secondary contact. 📑🚨 Doing it this way creates a safety net for the kitty as we'll always be notified if the kitty needs our help to get back home or even find a new home -- whether it's friendly or feral.

📚 Our BACK TO BASICS SERIES: best practices for personal safety when working with unknown/feral cats

It's important to be smart and careful when working with any animal of "unknown origin" -- meaning that you don't know it's history. This is especially true with feral cats. To that end,

✅ Be careful to ensure that the cat cannot bite or scratch you. Many traps offer a metal protection plate under the handle, enabling you to lift the trap without fear of being scratched by the cat inside. (Remember to keep the trap covered at all times!) Be cognizant of where the cat is in the trap as you're moving him. If you're going to use two hands to carry the trap, balance the trap by holding it where the cat can't reach you (as in the corner by the trap door).
✅ Do not try to pet or touch the cat!
✅ Do not let the cat out of the trap until it's time to Return as you will have an extremely difficult time getting it back in there again! Resist the urge to give it more space in a carrier or a cage. Cats are extremely fast and will get away from you if given the opportunity.
✅ Always be cognizant of where the cat is in the trap while you're tending to it. Brave kitties may try to make a run for it while you're opening the door. If you see the cat approaching, shut the door FAST. Most cats will stay in the back of the trap while you're working. That's where you want them.
✅ Open the trap door only high enough to fit the plate of food or water inside. Work quickly. If possible, use a trap divider, but know that those are not fool-proof. Keep your eye on the cat!
✅ Never stare down a cat; it's a sign of aggression. Speak softly and avoid eye contact by looking at it's nose, ears, paws, etc. while you're talking to it.
✅ NEVER reach into the trap to recover a food dish! (Your extended hand looks like an outstretched claw -- a sign of aggression -- to a cat, and he may react by swatting with his.) Simply slide the newspaper out instead and the bowls will come out with it.
✅ If possible, do not bring the cat into your home. Use a shed or garage instead. The concern here is what the cat is potentially carrying with him (viruses or fleas, for example) that could transfer into your household and potentially to your pets.
✅ If you have cats at home, do not allow the trapped cat near them; keep them separated. Assume the trapped cat is unvaccinated and could be carrying any number of transferable viruses. (If you frequently work with unknown cats, this is all the more reason to make sure your personal cats are up to date on vaccines!)
✅ When you're done working with kitty, wash your hands with soap.
✅ When it comes time to release the kitty, stand behind the trap or carrier and carefully open the door so the cat has an unobstructed route to freedom.

For a trapper, the risk of being harmed by a feral cat during the TNR process is --in our experience -- slim to none if you are careful. There should never be a time when you handle the cat, so there should be little to no opportunity for the cat to scratch or bite you. The cat traps we use (Havahart and Tomahawk brands) are designed to protect the user from scratches, and the cat can't bite through the trap. Using caution while caring for the cat before and after surgery ensures personal safety and keeps the cat less stressed.

📚Our BACK TO BASICS SERIES: post-surgery care for ferals, including release (Return) 🐾

Recovering a cat after TNR surgery begins at pick-up. Keep the trap covered and maintain a quiet car ride home.

Return depends on several factors: s*x of the cat, extent of surgery, stress level, and perhaps the weather.
🛑 NEVER RELEASE A CAT UNDER THE INFLUENCE of anesthesia! 🛑

👉 Males receive less anesthesia as their surgery is less invasive. Assuming no significant bleeding, they can be returned as soon as the anesthesia wears off COMPLETELY. You can offer food, but don't be surprised if it's not consumed. A feral will not eat in front of you.

👉 Females endure major surgery and should be held for at least two days. They can be kept up to a week, depending on their condition and stress level. Monitor the incision as best you can; watch for bleeding and signs of infection. If the cat goes on a hunger strike or appears stressed, return her sooner than later.

👉More tips:
✅ If you need to keep the cat overnight with the intention of returning it the next day, do not transfer the cat out of the trap. You can raise the trap door SLIGHTLY to slip in a plate or drop food through the trap. To prevent the cat from trying to escape, block the entrance with your body. You can use a trap divider for extra security, but they are not fool-proof. Water can be offered in a shallow bowl or a water bottle.
✅Keeping the cat in the trap during recovery is acceptable, especially if you do not have a transfer cage or are inexperienced with handling ferals. They are VERY FAST and, given the opportunity, will get away from you! Recapturing will be very difficult indoors; you will lose them if you are outdoors. Cats like hiding in small, tight spaces, and the trap is ideal for limiting movement.
✅ If possible, keep the trap off the floor. Cats like to be elevated, and you don't want a cold, concrete garage floor transferring cold to the kitty. We place our trapped cats on a folding table.
✅If you're transferring to a cage, make sure the cage fits in your car. Limit transfers and chances to escape!
✅Change the liner (newspaper) at least once a day. The cat will urinate and 💩 in the trap; be sure to keep kitty as clean as possible. If you prefer, the cardboard tray in which a case of wet cat food is delivered makes a great litter box and slides into most traps perfectly; just prepare for the litter to be kicked everywhere!
✅ Always keep the trap covered and in a quiet place!
✅ If you're concerned about the cat being cramped -- and you have two traps with a sliding rear door -- you can remove the sliding doors, butt the traps up against each other and zip tie them together. (You will do this with the cat in the trap; be careful!)
✅ If you have a large dog crate, you can place the covered trap in the dog crate with a litter box. You can raise and close the door to the trap through the crate bars with a stick if you're nervous about raising the trap door with the cat inside. Feral cats like to hide in the trap, so getting kitty back in on return day will be super-easy!

👉 ALWAYS return a cat where you trapped it!

Our BACK TO BASICS SERIES: Inside a TNR clinic 🏥
What happens to a feral cat at clinic? 🐱

Most clinics demand that feral cats be delivered in a trap because these cats cannot be handled. 🚫 You will deliver the cat in a trap, covered with a sheet or large towel to keep it calm, at a designated time. A clinic worker will take the cat from you and have you fill out their form for services. 📝 You will be given a pick-up time that same day (unless the clinic is recovering the cat). The cat will be taken to a holding area with other cats until the vet(s), staff, and volunteers are ready to begin procedures. 🕰️

When the vet(s) are ready, the cat is backed into a corner in the trap and injected with a sedative. 💉 Once sedated, clinic personnel can take the cat out of the trap and start working on them safely. Depending on the size of the clinic space and number of volunteers, there may be multiple stations for the cat to pass through -- or the vet might do most of the work themselves. The cat will be spayed/neutered, given vaccines, ear-tipped, and checked for a microchip. Additional services such as microchipping and combo testing (for FIV and FeLV) are usually available. Typically, the vet will do a quick wellness check by examining the ears and mouth. Services such as x-rays and ultrasounds are typically unavailable as clinics are not equipped to perform diagnostics. 🏥

Cats are monitored during recovery. They are typically wrapped in a towel or kept under a heated blanket to maintain body temperature. They are returned to the trap before the sedative wears off. This way, the cat has been fully vetted, all while under anesthesia. The trap remains covered to keep the cat calm as it's recovering. 🛌

Vets do not use removable sutures nor release a cat with a cone. The cat does not return for a follow-up visit and likely never sees the vet again. All is done in one visit. 👩‍⚕️🐾

📚 Our BACK TO BASICS SERIES: Clinics vs. neighborhood veterinary offices

Feral cats are, by definition, not socialized to humans. As a result, most neighborhood veterinary offices will not accept them as patients because they cannot be handled and will literally bounce off the walls. 😳 This puts everyone in the room in danger of being injured by the cat, especially if they are inexperienced with ferals. We also want the cat to be safe. Ferals are therefore treated in clinics, which are structured and operate much differently than the veterinary office where you take your pets.

Clinics are often found in municipal and larger animal shelters. Many of the ones we use are free-standing and self-supported, owned by businesspeople who also have a passion for animal welfare (typically, rescuers with the ability and business acumen to open a clinic). This latter category is the one we'll discuss in general terms.

Free-standing clinics differ from your neighborhood vet office in that:
➡️ they are located in big, open spaces and contain no small, private examination rooms;
➡️ they have limited days of operation;
➡️ there are no walk-in hours: everything is by appointment;
➡️ there is usually not a full-time veterinarian on staff (vets come in on specific days and are independent contractors, not employees);
➡️ there are no pharmacy services;
➡️ diagnostic services are limited due to a lack of equipment;
➡️ they specialize in TNR;
➡️ they specialize in working with feral cats and follow protocols to ensure their safety and the cat's well-being;
➡️ they are a mass-production facility where a large number of cats are processed in a short amount of time;
➡️ volunteers are critical for helping the veterinarian and vet techs work efficiently and effectively;
➡️ treatment is "one and done." The cat does not return for a check-up.

📷: a proposed floorplan from ASPCA Pro's Spay/Neuter Building & Equipment Resource Guide. This plan includes a space for dogs. Of course, there are no dogs at TNR clinic, so that would be extra space in a cat clinic.

We’re thrilled to share the best news – Gigi has been ADOPTED! 🎉🐾

You might remember Gigi as the sweet kitty we rescued in early December. She was living at the edge of a shopping center parking lot, curled up in the mulch behind some bushes, looking lost and miserable. We knew we had to help. After capturing her, we searched for an owner but had no luck. So, we had her fully vetted and ready to start a new chapter.

During our search for information about Gigi, a good Samaritan reached out. She had been feeding Gigi at 5 AM nearly every morning for the better part of a year! The cat seemed nervous, never let herself be touched, and showed no interest in coming indoors. What the good Samaritan didn’t realize was that Gigi was homeless and living nearby.

While Gigi was in foster care, her feeder visited her often and realized she couldn’t live without this sweet girl. She applied to adopt her, and yesterday, Gigi officially joined her household! 🏡 Now, Gigi has a forever home with her longtime friend and her husband, and two feline sisters. It’s clear she’s thrilled to be back in familiar surroundings, safely indoors, and a valued member of the family. 😻

We’re so grateful to our supporters who made Gigi’s happily-ever-after possible. Thank you for helping us save lives and create these beautiful endings! 💕

📷: Gigi in the mulch (before) and Gigi at her new home (last evening). Gigi borrowed her favorite bed and den to acclimate in her new home. 💗

📚 Our BACK TO BASICS SERIES: female cats are “seasonally polyestrous" 🐱 They can have multiple cycles during their breeding season, which is influenced by the amount of daylight.

In the northern hemisphere, as the amount of daylight begins to increase with the winter solstice (12/21), the reproductive cycle of intact females kicks into gear, and most will go into heat by late January. A female cat will continue to go into heat every 1 to 2 weeks until she gets pregnant. Regular estrus activity will continue until the amount of daylight decreases (October). The feline gestation period is about 63 days, which is why we typically see the first kittens of the season arriving in late March. (Remember that a kitten reaches s*xually maturity from 4 months of age!) 🙀

If your climate allows, NOW is the ideal time to spay and neuter feral and stray cats to get ahead of kitten season and end the breeding cycle before it starts. If you are in a cold climate and spaying is not advised because of potential harm to the females, you can start working on the males. (It takes two!) If nothing else, take inventory and restock your supplies. Make a plan! 📅

📖Our BACK TO BASICS SERIES: the reality of Spay Abort

Spay abort—spaying a pregnant cat and therefore aborting her kittens —is standard practice in veterinary clinics that perform TNR surgeries. This is a sensitive and emotional topic that can be challenging for many to confront. However, many believe it is a key approach to addressing cat overpopulation, supporting the well-being of community cats, and lessening the burden on rescues and shelters by helping cats and kittens already in the system find homes.

During a spay abort, the veterinarian removes the cat’s uterus and ovaries under anesthesia. If the cat is pregnant, this ends the pregnancy, meaning the unborn kittens do not survive. Veterinarians do not consult with rescuers while the cat is on the operating table; it is understood and agreed at drop off that should the cat be pregnant, the pregnancy will be terminated and the kittens lost.

We recognize this is a difficult topic, and it’s natural to have questions or strong feelings. We invite open and respectful conversations in the comments to help foster understanding of these practices and their role in community cat care and population control.

📚 Our BACK TO BASICS SERIES: Pregnancy vs. Pyometra

Can you tell? Is she PREGNANT or does she have a LIFE-THREATENING CONDITION?

Pyometra is a bacterial infection of the uterus of an unspayed cat. It causes the uterus to fill with pus, often making the cat appear pregnant. This is a VERY SERIOUS condition that needs veterinary attention immediately as this infection can be fatal.

Signs of pyometra include a bloated abdomen, lethargy, vomiting, decreased appetite, excessive licking at the va**nal opening, blood in the urine, urinating outside of the litter box and more. There may or may not be discharge from the va**na. 🚨🚨 If your cat appears unwell, please take it to a veterinarian as quickly as possible. 🚨🚨 This can't wait. Pyometra can be avoided: spay your cat!

For more information about pyometra, visit https://www.thesprucepets.com/treating-pyometra-in-cats-4784166 or speak with your veterinarian.

📚 Our BACK TO BASICS SERIES: spaying and neutering

Let's continue our discussion on reproduction.....

SNiP Now shared this very informative post regarding female fertility and reproduction. They wrote:
"We have had a few calls from people worried their cats are in pain as they are exhibiting symptoms of yowling and other unusual behaviors (rubbing all over items). What these individuals are describing is their female cat having heat cycles which can occur in females as young as 4-months of age. Yowling, rubbing, raising the behind up in the air (lordosis reflex), spraying, the desire to go outside and find a mate...are all symptoms that can occur during a female cat's heat cycle. Sometimes females can appear more loving and other times females can have more aggressive tendencies during this cycle."

Remember that spaying a cat will eliminate these behaviors as well as help control the cat population. Please have your cat spayed by 4 months of age!

📚 Our BACK TO BASICS SERIES: "Fix at 4"
Aim to spay/neuter at or by 4 months of age -- depending on your situation 🎯

What's the best time to spay or neuter a kitten? Depending on the veterinarian and the status of the kitten (pet vs. community cat), the window is between two and four months of age. Kittens reach s*xual maturity at four months of age. Wait any longer and your kitten may have kittens -- and that's NOT a good thing.

Best practice dictates that all kittens are spayed/neutered before adoption. Many clinic veterinarians practice the "2 pound/2 month" rule: the kitten needs to be healthy, weigh at least 2 pounds and be 2 months of age before surgery. Most rescues/shelters will aim to vet the kitten as soon as it reaches 2 pounds so it can be adopted sooner, allowing the rescue/shelter the opportunity to save more cats.

If the kitten lives strictly indoors with no opportunity to reproduce, a veterinarian may advise to wait until the kitten reaches 4 months of age. After 4 months, your male(s) will start to display hormone-fueled behaviors such as spraying/marking and looking to get outdoors in search of a female. Don't wait for this to happen!

📢 Allowing a kitten to have her first heat cycle or delivering her first litter before spaying is a MISTAKE. There is no benefit to the cat and you're contributing to overpopulation. Fix that cat!!!

👉FINAL NOTE: it is IRRESPONSIBLE to adopt out a kitten that is not spayed or neutered. If you're running a rescue or are a good Samaritan fostering a litter that you've found, it is IMPERATIVE that those kittens are spayed/neutered before they are adopted. If you don't, you're contributing to the problem as we'll all be rescuing their litters 6 months later. Find a clinic and crowd-source for funding to spay/neuter if necessary. Do the right thing!

📚 Our BACK TO BASICS SERIES: spay & neuter myths and misconceptions

🤔Myth: Female cats should have one litter before spaying.
👉Truth: There are no medical benefits to justify allowing a cat to have a litter before spaying. In fact, spaying eliminates the possibility of developing uterine or ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the chance of developing mammary cancer. Spaying also prevents pyometra!

🤔Neutering will make my cat feel like less of a male.
👉Cats don't have any concept of ego or s*xual identity. He won't miss his ⚾⚾!

🤔Myth: Cats become less active and overweight due to spaying or neutering.
👉Truth: Cats become overweight when fed too much and not exercised properly.

🤔Myth: Behavior is adversely affected by sterilization.
👉Truth: The only changes in behavior after spaying or neutering are POSITIVE ones! Neutering will greatly diminish or eliminate aggression problems and undesirable behaviors fueled by reproductive hormones. Male cats will decrease or stop spraying and fight less, resulting in fewer bite and scratch wounds and lessening the spread of FIV and FeLV. They also tend to become calmer/friendlier and stay closer to home because they no longer wander in search of a mate.

🤔Myth: Spaying/neutering is painful to my cat.
👉Truth: Sterilization is performed under general anesthesia by a veterinarian. The minimal discomfort experienced by spayed or neutered cats can be lessened with pain medications and is well worth the endless suffering that is prevented by preventing unwanted litters.

🤔Myth: Everyone should be allowed to witness the miracle of birth.
👉Truth: Every litter of kittens contributes to the millions of unwanted cats that die yearly in our nation’s animal shelters or alone, outdoors. Don't enable overpopulation!

🤔Myth: Spaying/neutering is expensive.
👉Truth: Low-cost services are available in many areas. Look for clinics and SPCAs near you!

🤔Myth: Indoor pets don't need to be spayed/neutered.
👉Truth: ALL pets need to be spayed/neutered!

Recently rescued from a colony, this very social little black floof is soft as a bunny rabbit and just wants to play and cuddle, but he can also keep himself entertained when you’re busy. He’s a sweet, super curious kitten who loves people and is always game for hanging out! Wally would love to go to a home with another medium/high energy cat as he enjoys playing and interacting with other cats. He is interested in dogs but has never lived with one; we recommend slow introductions. Wally has been dewormed, neutered, microchipped, tested negative for FeLV and FIV, and is up to date on vaccines. 💉 See more photos and Wally's profile on Petfinder at https://www.petfinder.com/cat/wally-70048514/pa/yardley/stray-cat-project-pa1117/. To apply to adopt Wally, please complete our online adoption application at https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/15688/generic . Wally’s adoption fee is $135, which will be used to offset the costs of vetting and caring for him while in our care. Wally is located in Lower Bucks County, Pennsylvania. #adoptablecat #kitten #adoptdontshop
