✂️🐈 NO NUT NOVEMBER: TNR EDITION! 🐈✂️

Same Cats. Fewer Nuts. Brighter Futures! 😹

That's right, folks! November is nearly upon us, and while everyone else is preparing to stuff their turkeys, we're preparing to EMPTY some reproductive systems!

And judging by the look on that turkey's face, he knows EXACTLY what's about to happen. 👀🥜🥜

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN for our Saturday, November 21 Community TNR Day! 🎉

After October's TRICK OR TNR! clinic reached capacity BEFORE clinic day, we're back for another round of trapping, snipping, vaccinating, and putting the brakes on the never-ending kitten factory!

Because let's face it... the only thing multiplying faster than leftovers after Thanksgiving is an unaltered cat colony. 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈

🍁 HERE'S THE SCOOP!

📅 Saturday, November 21, 2026
⏰ Drop-Off: 8:00 AM
📍 Kershaw County Humane Society, 128 Black River Rd, Camden, SC
💰 Cost: $50 per cat

🐾 EVERY CAT RECEIVES:
✂️ Spay/Neuter Surgery
💉 Rabies Vaccination
👂 Ear Tip (Required: No Exceptions!)

🚨 LET'S TALK TRAPS!
ALL cats MUST arrive in humane traps. Hard-sided carriers are permitted ONLY for extremely friendly cats. All traps and carriers must be secure, properly latched, and in good working condition.

ONE CAT PER TRAP OR CARRIER.

No cardboard boxes. No laundry baskets. No carriers held together by duct tape, zip ties, and a prayer. We're here to fix cats, not test the structural integrity of your questionable cat containment decisions. 😹

💚 WHY TNR?

Because every cat spayed or neutered means fewer unwanted litters, fewer kittens entering already overwhelmed shelters and rescues, and healthier community cat populations.

TNR isn't just about fixing cats. It's about breaking the cycle.

💚💙🧡 TEAMWORK MAKES THE SNIP WORK!

These Community TNR Days are made possible through the collaborative partnership between Kershaw County Humane Society, Turbeville Impact Incorporated, and DoRe Ranch and Rescue.

We're incredibly thankful for everyone who continues to work together to make affordable spay/neuter services accessible to our communities.

📝 READY TO GET THOSE CATS FIXED?

DON'T WAIT! Our October clinic filled up before clinic day, and appointments for November are limited!

🦃 This Thanksgiving, we're thankful for full bellies, healthy cats, and reproductive systems that are officially CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!

NO NUTS. NO NEW LITTERS. NO EXCUSES! ✂️🐈

🐈‍⬛💚 IT'S MESSAGES LIKE THESE THAT MAKE IT ALL WORTHWHILE! 💙🐈

Yesterday, at our October 17 Community TNR Day, one wonderful community member brought FIVE kitties to be spayed/neutered. FIVE! That's five cats who will no longer contribute to the never-ending cycle of unwanted litters. 🎉

Today, we received the sweetest update, along with some pictures and a heartfelt message of appreciation for everyone involved in making these clinics happen. (And yes, she graciously gave us permission to share! ❤️)

We don't do what we do for the recognition or the thank-yous, but we're certainly not going to pretend they don't mean the world to us.

These clinics take a tremendous amount of coordination, preparation, hard work, and teamwork. From our incredible veterinary team at Topgun Veterinarian Service, LLC/Turbeville Impact Incorporated., to our wonderful partners at Kershaw County Humane Society, to everyone working behind the scenes, it truly takes a village.

And let's not forget the community members who take the initiative to get these cats trapped, transported, and cared for. YOU are an essential part of the solution, too!

To the lovely person who shared this update: THANK YOU for trusting our team with your five kitties, for your kind words, and most importantly, for being part of the solution.

Five more cats fixed. Countless future kittens prevented. And one more reminder of why we do what we do. 🐾💚💙

Trap. Neuter. Return. Together, we're making a difference.

👻🎃 TRICK OR TNR WAS A SPOOKTACULAR SUCCESS! 🎃👻

🐈‍⬛ 74 CATS AND KITTENS! 🐈‍⬛

That's right! Today's Trick or TNR Community TNR Day was another HUGE success, with 74 cats and kittens spayed or neutered, vaccinated against rabies, and ear-tipped! 🎉

That's 74 cats and kittens who will no longer contribute to the endless cycle of unwanted litters. And THAT is something worth celebrating! 🐾

But here's the thing: None of this happens without teamwork.

A HUGE thank you to the incredible residents and community cat caretakers in and around Kershaw County who stepped up to be part of the solution. You trapped, you transported, you showed up, and you made a difference!

And, of course, an enormous thank you to our amazing partners:

💚 Kershaw County Humane Society

💙 Turbeville Impact Incorporated

💚 Topgun Veterinarian Service, LLC

💙 DoRe Ranch and Rescue

This partnership continues to demonstrate what can happen when organizations, veterinary professionals, volunteers, and community members work together toward a common goal.

74 cats and kittens. One day. Countless future litters prevented.

We're not just talking about the importance of TNR. We're out here doing it!

And as we've said before, TNR isn't glamorous. It's early mornings, long days, dirty traps, and a whole lot of coordination. But the results? Absolutely worth it.

TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK! 💚💙

Thank you to EVERYONE who helped make today's clinic another success!

🐈‍⬛ TRAP. NEUTER. RETURN. REPEAT. 🐈‍⬛

🐾 LET'S TALK ABOUT COMPASSION. AND BOUNDARIES. 🐾

We're going to address something that doesn't get talked about nearly enough in animal rescue.

Rescues are run by people. Actual human beings.

People who have families. Jobs. Responsibilities. Bills. Health issues. And, believe it or not, occasionally need to sleep.

DoRe Ranch and Rescue is a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit. There are TWO of us. That's it. No paid staff. No overnight shift. No magical emergency hotline staffed by a team of people waiting to spring into action.

Just two people who love animals and have dedicated an enormous portion of their lives to helping them.

We care for our sanctuary residents. We coordinate community TNR efforts. We work with shelters and other rescues. We spend countless hours, and often our own money, doing everything we reasonably can to make a difference.

And you know what?

Sometimes we have to say NO.

Not because we don't care.

Not because an animal isn't deserving of help.

Not because we lack compassion.

But because we have limits. Financial limits. Physical limits. Emotional limits. And there are only so many hours in a day.

Here's something we've said for years, and it remains as true today as ever:

The animals will NEVER make us want to quit rescue. It's the fu***ng people.

It's the entitlement. The unrealistic expectations. The assumption that because we operate a rescue, we're somehow personally responsible for every animal in need, regardless of the circumstances.

And perhaps most frustrating of all, it's having our compassion questioned when we can't provide the help someone wants, exactly when they want it.

Let's be clear about something.

Asking for help is ALWAYS okay. Treating people like s**t because they can't help you is NOT.

We understand that people reach out to rescues during some of their most desperate, heartbreaking moments. We know emotions run high. We know finances are tight. We know the need for help is overwhelming.

We see it. Every. Single. Day.

But compassion needs to extend to the people doing the rescuing, too.

We're not asking for praise. We're not asking for sympathy. And we're certainly not asking anyone to stop reaching out when they need guidance.

We're simply asking for a little understanding and basic human decency.

Being a nonprofit does not mean being available 24/7. Being a volunteer does not mean being obligated to help everyone. And having boundaries does not mean lacking compassion.

We will continue doing what we've always done: helping as many animals as we responsibly can, working alongside our rescue partners, and doing our best with the resources available.

Because the animals deserve that.

And the people trying to help them deserve a little compassion, too. 💚💙

🐾 MORE TNR! MORE KITTENS! AND ONE VERY SPICY CAT WHO MAY BE RETHINKING HER LIFE CHOICES! 🐈‍⬛🌳

Our monthly Community TNR Days aren't the only times we're out there trapping cats! Sometimes opportunities come up between clinics, and when we can make it happen, we do!

Over the past few weeks, we've been contacted by several people needing TNR assistance. And let us tell you, sometimes getting ahold of people is 90% of the battle! 😂

Not everyone has a smartphone. Not everyone has voicemail set up. Not everyone receives our text messages. Sometimes it's a whole lot of phone tag, missed calls, and trying again. But we do what we can, because at the end of the day, the cats still need help. ❤️

One of our recent TNR projects involved a property where the residents are relocating and unfortunately cannot take their outdoor cats with them.

We were initially told there were five cats, including two kittens from the momma cat's newest litter.

Welllllll...we weren't quite prepared for what we found! 😳

When someone says "kittens," you never really know what you're going to get. These weren't just new kittens. These were NEW NEW kittens! Tiny little things, blue eyes and all! 🥹💙

Thankfully, we were able to scoop up both babies! We didn't have a carrier with us, so into a humane trap they went for the ride. Not exactly first-class accommodations, but it got the job done!

These two little nuggets will be staying with us while we get them fully vetted, and once they're old enough and ready, they'll be available for adoption! 🐾❤️

But wait...there's MORE!

While we were at TopGun Veterinary Clinic with our TNR cats, we made another call.

"Heyyyyy...while we're here, any chance we can bring in a cat for an eye enucleation?" 😬

Enter NAMI. 🐈‍⬛

Some of you may remember Nami, our SUPER spicy kitty who came to us from our friends at Kershaw County Humane Society (KCHS) with some pretty significant eye issues.

When Nami was originally spayed, she received medication for her eye, and for a while, things seemed to be improving.

Then...BAM. The eye issues returned.

Fortunately, the timing coincided with our annual farm visit from Audrey Turbeville, so Nami received an injection of Convenia. Again, things seemed to be improving.

And then Nami apparently decided she'd had enough of humans and their medical interventions. 🙄

She went missing.

Well, not exactly missing. Nami had apparently decided that becoming arboreal was her true calling. 🌳🐈

That's right. Our spicy little feline decided that living up in the pin oak trees out front was MUCH more appealing than hanging around where humans might actually try to help her.

Because...cats. 🤦‍♂️😂

When we finally got a good look at Nami again, her eye had deteriorated significantly. At that point, there really wasn't anything left to save.

So, off to TopGun she went for an enucleation (surgical removal of the eye).

And just like that, our little trip to the vet turned into:

🐾 3 cats spayed/neutered through TNR!

🐾 2 tiny blue-eyed kittens rescued and headed toward adoption!

🐾 1 very spicy Nami getting the medical care she desperately needed!

Nami will be recovering INSIDE the house, where we can keep a close eye on her (pun absolutely intended 😏) and monitor her throughout her recovery.

And who knows? Maybe after some time indoors, regular meals, comfortable bedding, and room service, Nami will decide that being a house kitty isn't so terrible after all.

A begrudging house kitty, of course. We wouldn't want her to lose her reputation. 😂

This is what rescue and TNR look like behind the scenes. It's not always scheduled. It's rarely convenient. And it almost NEVER goes exactly as planned.

But whether it's three community cats who won't be contributing to the next generation of kittens, two tiny babies getting a chance at loving homes, or one spicy tree-dwelling cat getting a second chance at a pain-free life...

Every single one matters. ❤️

A huge thank-you to Topgun Veterinarian Service, LLC for always helping us navigate the unexpected, and to Kershaw County Humane Society for their continued partnership!

Trap. Neuter. Return. Rescue when needed. Repeat. 🐾💚💙

🐾 Doc was down yesterday, and we’ve been busy building more cat shelters! 🐾

We currently have enough supplies to build 16 shelters, but we’d love to reach our goal of 32 shelters - and honestly, the more we can build, the better! ❤️

We need to raise another $600 to purchase the supplies needed to build 16 more shelters and help provide safe, warm places for cats in need.

If you’re able to donate, share this post, or help spread the word, we would be incredibly grateful! Every little bit helps us get more shelters built and more cats protected. 🐱🏠❤️
