Not surprisingly, June was our busiest month so far this year. We trapped (or scooped up) 70 felines and met many new colony caretakers.
Our Work
Many kind people care for Rochester’s large homeless cat population. Besides food and water, they provide warm shelter and are on the lookout for new cats so they can be spayed or neutered and evaluated for proper placement.
We’ve been focusing on some larger colonies recently where the numbers of kittens can increase dramatically during kitten season.
While fresh, clean water is always essential for our feline friends, this brutal heat makes it even more important. These beauties are enjoying a cool drink!
Meet a few of the many cats and kittens we helped in May. The month flew by with 53 adult spay/neuters, 14 kittens scooped up, two lost cats reunited with their owners (thanks to microchips), and one very precarious kitten-trapping scenario. Every single cat unique and special 🐱
So happy to announce that we were selected to receive a matching grant by the Community Cats Grant Program administered through United Spay Alliance (@unitedspayalliance ).
Sending a huge THANK YOU to Abundance Food Co-op for doing a “Round-up for RocKats” in February.
Relocations are the very last resort for feral cats. We do our best to keep cats in their familiar neighborhood, but periodically we encounter unfortunate situations that require moving cats to a barn or alternate setting.
April was a great month for adoptions and these sweet kitties are now enjoying the great indoors.
We’re celebrating National Feral Cat Spay Day by sharing some news from our latest TNR efforts. 🐾
