We think Maribella is the mama cat to at least some of the kittens being fostered from the Avondale TNR Project. In true mama cat-like fashion, she’s been very hard to trap. George, the feeder there, will not stop feeding, so that doesn’t help either. In fact, there’s been a lot of things happening… Read more »
Cats #19 and #20 trapped from the Avondale TNR Project ended up belonging to a neighbor that lets all of their pet cats outside. Panther was trapped last week and taken to PAWS where she received their TNR package, including spay surgery, ear tipping, microchip, vaccinations, and parasite treatments. She was also acting friendly… Read more »
Ivan is the second cat that has died since we started the Avondale TNR Project. With every TNR project of this size – here we are talking about estimates of 50 cats within three blocks – there are always inevitably sad endings along with the happy ones. Ivan was trapped and taken to the clinic… Read more »
We brought the kittens from the Avondale TNR Project to PAWS Chicago for their second round of vaccinations. They ended up needing a little more vetting than that. These kittens are hilarious. Robin has been fostering them and keeping track of their shenanigans. She sent us photos, and I couldn’t tell them apart. I… Read more »
Robin F. has been fostering the six kittens trapped from the Avondale TNR Project ever since they were first brought to PAWS Chicago’s clinic. We are so grateful to have her as a foster and her expertise in socializing! The kittens have come a long way since being born in an old garage in Avondale…. Read more »
Ziggy Stardust is a long-haired orange cat that’s been hanging out in Kim’s yard for months now. Ziggy was not easy to trap, but with trap conditioning, like I did with Puffy, Kim was able to trap her. Yes, I said her. Most orange cats are male, but Ziggy is a female. The vet… Read more »
Puffy is a very fluffy, long-haired cat that comes to my yard irregularly to feed ever since I TNR’d him in 2013. This past year he’s been looking fluffier than ever. His long-haired coat is magnificent, but starting to look downright disheveled. He’s not easy to capture on camera – he’s a true feral who… Read more »
Reese is one of the 17 cats and kittens trapped so far and from the Avondale TNR Project. Six kittens are in foster care, and most of the adults were TNR’d. There are many more cats outside there. Reese was pretty relaxed outside. When Reese came back from the clinic he slept in the… Read more »
It takes a village to make TNR work. Cats In My Yard demonstrated how to TNR cats and distributed information on how to help outdoor stray animals at the 606 Block Party in Humboldt Park. We set up in the 1st Ward Alderman’s booth. Alderman Moreno is a supporter of TNR and reaching out to the community. Thank you to the… Read more »
Robin F. agreed to foster and socialize all six of the kittens from the Avondale TNR Project that were trapped last week. Joann spent Memorial Day picking up the kittens from the clinic and dropping them straight off to Robin. The photos are just now starting to trickle in. First up is this adorable… Read more »
