Since 2007 I TNR’d 183 cats from 20 colony sites within one square mile around me. Today there are only 51 cats from that total left outside. That is a 72% reduction rate in nine years.

So, the Rockstar Colony has lost their home. Literally. The owners sold off their three buildings and they’ve all been torn down. There’s just a huge hole in the ground for now. Last year I finished TNR’ing all seven cats for them. Since then, other neighbors told me two cats have died. I hope they took… Read more »
Babalu is now fully vetted and available for adoption. His paw is now bandage-free and almost healed thanks to all of you who shared his story, and the amazing donations from rescue friends Trudy, Mary, Eliya, Doug, Bonnie, Erica, Rob, Ella, Rhodri, Mari, Dorota, Colin and Dawn! Your generosity helped cover more than half of… Read more »
