Bert has been hanging out in my garage and doing amazing! He no longer swats at me or tries to bite, he’s super friendly and very lovey. He adores affection. I’ve been letting him wander around the garage when I’m out there with him, he’s very easy going about everything. I tried playing with him […]
Remember the Collared Boy from the recent TNR site I helped with? I told you about him a few weeks ago, he had settled into my garage space. I had hopes of him being adopted into a cushy forever home. I’ve been working with him in hopes he can be re-homed, although he’s not making […]
Thankfully, I’m pleased to report that this large, seemingly never-ending, TNR project is finally wrapping up! When we started we walked around the neighborhood and knocked on doors to gather information and teach people about TNR. We met a wide variety of people from many different socioeconomic classes. One big dude in particular was very […]
I’ve had a few days off from the TNR action, which I’ve needed to catch up on sleep! But we are still needing to trap more cats and the clinics start again on Sunday, so Saturday we’ll be trapping once again. Meanwhile, remember the collared boy? Well, he’s neutered now and so friendly. No one […]
Thank you everyone for leaving such kind and supportive comments. I consider each one a gift. The emotional roller coaster continued today. I had three cats to take to the clinic. One I knew was sick, so when I got the dreaded call from the clinic I knew it was going to be bad news. […]
I stopped by the TNR site this morning to check traps and review the pictures, just as I have been in the routine of doing. Non-eartipped trapped cats go right to the spay/neuter clinic and eartipped cats get released. The camera had been pointing at the kitten nest for the past 24-hours, so I was […]
Saturday was a long day of TNR. Traps were set and then we waited. And waited. This is in a neighborhood with a lot of active children. Kids can make trapping challenging as they can scare away the cats, but they can also provide lots of information about the cats. If anyone is going to […]

I’ve written in the past about the benefit of using a trail camera to identify cats. In the case of this large site I’ve been working on, we set up the camera first focused on some food overnight after we had trapped a bunch of cats so we could figure out who is still coming […]

It was a busy weekend of TNR activities at the mobile home community I’ve been working on. We started trapping early last week in one lot and already have trapped 2 kittens and 7 adults. On Saturday, we walked around the community, gathering information about the community cats. You know it’s going to be an interesting day when […]

It’s been a full week of TNR! Lots of checking traps and early morning visits to the spay/neuter clinic. So far, we have trapped nine cats/kittens at this site. Guess what’s in this covered trap? This adorable bundle of fluff! So far we have two 8-week old kittens with more to get yet. Out of the […]
