Tell us about your cats!

April tally! Welcome spring!

We met a lot of cats in April! Thanks to the @alleycatallies Feline Frenzy, our Sunday clinic at @vsas_ras, and the terrific vet staff at @lollypopfarm and @rochestercommunityanimalclinic we were able to spay/neuter over 50 community cats from the city streets. Many thanks to @pet_adoption_network , @kittenkornerrescue, and Rochester Animal Services for taking in the smallest felines we took off the streets in April 🐱

Can you help us help more cats? Can you donate or foster? If you follow other local cat rescues you have likely seen the words ā€œClosed for Intakeā€. There just are not enough shelter & adoption resources to give every cat and kitten in this city a home. Kittens born outside face numerous threats, one of which is not being socialized during that limited window of opportunity. Socializing older kittens takes much greater time and effort & rarely is there a foster or rescue who will take on this task as there is no guarantee they will be adoptable 😿 The sad reality is limited resources means often the best we can do is spay/neuter older kittens and return them to their outdoor homes. They will go on to lead healthier lives and won’t contribute to another litter of kittens.

Our focus is spay/neuter of the city’s free-roaming cats. Go to the link in our bio to donate directly. $50 covers the cost of spay/neuter, vaccines, flea & parasite treatment. Your donations are greatly appreciated. We hope that someday, ā€œClosed for Intakeā€ will be a thing of the past 🐱
