Rescued Cats
Some
of the cats we encounter are feral or wild cats which cannot usually be
adopted. In this case, we spay or neuter the animal, ensure its health,
and return it to the feral colony where it lives out its life. Feral colonies
are monitored daily by our volunteers who provide food and water.
Stray cats who were
once companion animals can usually be adopted. They are spayed or neutered,
given all shots and if sick, nursed back to health. Then, they are placed
in other feline organizations that are equipped to provide housing for
cats, waiting for adoption. Adult cats are much more difficult to place
than kittens.
We are delighted to
report that we have had many happy endings for the cats we have helped.
Here are just a few of their stories...

Skippy is a
2 year-old affectionate male cat who was found missing his right
back foot and full of mange. Sadly, the only way to save Skippy
was to remove his leg. Now, he runs just like a cat with all 4 legs.
In his spare time, Skippy enjoys bossing other cats around!

A
small starving cat, barely alive was found by our Vice President,
Gina. His eyes were sealed shut from a horrible case of mange. He
was rushed to the vet for treatment. After weeks of care, he gained
5 pounds and his eyes became bright, shiny, and fully open. Today,
Gremlin is a gorgeous black cat weighing over 10 pounds! |

As
you can tell from this picture, Molly is not exactly friendly! Some
cats are unable to be adopted because they have been outside for too
long. Molly was returned to her colony after being fixed and getting
her shots. She is monitored daily by a caring volunteer. |
