So excited about the new feeder at the Sweet Treats colony in Dunkeld. 🍩🎂🍰🧁The cats have had many birds snacking on their food at this site, so glad to know it will be protected now. A huge thank you to G&K Feral Feeder Manufacturers for such a high-quality and beautiful feeder.

A glimpse into Friday afternoon feeding. While the wet food does not look appealing to humans, the cats enjoy their treat of chicken meatloaf which is watered down for hydration. 🐱❤️

I ensure all the ferals I care for are fed at least every second day. Sure, there are some days where I might not feel like heading out on multiple feeds. But the peace of mind that comes with knowing they had something to eat makes it all worth it.

Setup at The Originals colony. They have clean beds, and an enclosed feeding station to keep their food protected and the hadedas at bay. 🖤🤍

Foster DESPERATELY needed for homeless kitty. Trapped today - too sweet to live as a feral and gets bullied by the other cats. Getting sterilized tomorrow and has to be released tomorrow night. PLEASE comment if you can give this baby a lifeline. 🩷

The life of a feral cat is worse than most humans can imagine.

To illustrate it from a feral cat's point of view, let's say "Elly" is a female feral cat, and here follows her story:

Elly: "I am a feral cat. My mother might have been a feral, a stray, or even a house cat who gave birth to me, my sister, and my two brothers. We live in a gutter away from humans. My siblings and I are unknown to humans and are very scared of them. My mother took care of us for 8 weeks until we had to care for ourselves. My mother fell pregnant again and had to take care of her newborn kittens. There were some mice where we lived, and we ate birds. But we struggled to catch them because we were so small. We barely survived. When I was 5 months old, me and my sister were made pregnant for the first time by our brothers. Our kittens were weak due to inbreeding. Soon, our kittens became somewhat independent, and I became pregnant repeatedly. Sometimes, I was made pregnant by my kittens of 5 months and older. I am 3 years old and have given birth to over 40 kittens. I have so much pain now. The place where we live does not have mice anymore; we must survive on birds. I am hungry and sick. Since none of us are vaccinated against the common cat viruses, we have an outbreak of Feline immunodeficiency Virus, Herpes Virus, and Calici Virus. These are terrible viruses. Our colony has so much inbreeding, and some cats have disabilities. My tongue and eyes are so sore, and I struggle to breathe due to these viruses. We are constantly itchy and scratching due to the ticks and fleas. I itch abundantly and I cannot stop scratching, but I don't always have the energy to do so. We struggle to find food in dustbins, and seek anything to give us energy for the day and to fill our stomachs for a while… something to make us feel better. My sister was hit by a car while trying to find something to eat. I am so cold at night and when it rains. I am suffering. I am so skinny. Imagine if a human with a good heart would help us with some food and a better life without viruses and the pain of giving birth to kittens again and again…. "

They deserve as much help as humans can give them.

Wow wow wow - JazzyCat called for help and one kind hearted friend certainly answered. A whopping 33kg of food! With temperatures dropping rapidly, the cats are burning more calories to stay warm - thereby eating more. This was so needed. Thank you SO MUCH to Kelsey and the customers of Pet Eats n' Treats Olivedale for this absolutely incredible donation!

PLEASE be aware. Temperatures are dropping quickly and there is an unbelievably high amount of ferals, strays, and regular roaming cats that want to stay warm.

Thank you to Andrew for sponsoring TWO JazzyCat Feral sterilizations! 🤍

Sterilizing saves countless kittens from a hard life.
