Help A Helper! 😼 🐾🐾

There ARE ways you can help someone help you TNR. It just takes your willingness. 🙄

With YOUR willingness, getting help is usually easier to achieve. When you post requesting help, try mentioning how you can help with the process! TNR'ing a colony of cats reproducing in your backyard... or trapping the injured Kitty... or fostering kittens that were found under your porch... or "saving" abandoned kitties... or...

How can YOU help?
📍Monetarily
📍trapping paraphernalia (food, newspaper, piddle pads, zip ties, bungee cords, trap covers made from sheets)
📍 Securing a clinical appointment
📍 Pre-op or post-op care
📍 Transporting

If you're in doubt about how you can help, ASK!

This is so true and so many of us want to glare 👀 into the trap and make eye contact with the kitty. 🐾🐾
That's not a good thing to do. 😿

Now you can know 🐾
The technical reason for 'kitten explosion season'.

Female cats are polyesterous which means that they have multiple estrus cycles during the breeding season. As the amount of daylight begins to increase at the winter solstice, the reproductive cycle of intact females kicks into gear, and most will go into heat by late January. A female cat will keep coming back into heat every 1 to 2 weeks until she gets pregnant, or the amount of daylight decreases (generally in October). The feline gestation period is about 63 days, so the first kittens of the season will start arriving in late March.

NOW is the ideal time to spay and neuter feral and stray cats to get ahead of kitten season and end the breeding cycle before it starts.

Hmmm... Just happened with one of our TNR kitties from a local Clinic. 🤦 If you see a right ear tip, it might mean they just made a mistake at the clinic. 😬

Many comments about left male, right female. The original program specifically states “Always the left ear.” Just because Vets want to be different or think they know better, it’s harder on us trappers, caretakers and rescuers. But since some have to be different, we now have to check both ears and not just for a tip any more, but a notch, which has been proven to look more like a battle scar.

Male? Female? Once neutered, does it really matter? They’re happier, healthier and are now safe from so many deadly diseases.

🥁🥁 Baldwin County and Safe Harbor Animal Coalition are doing it again! 🙀Santa Rosa County does it! 🐈✂️

When will Escambia County figure it out? 😹

🐾 UPCOMING STRAY SPAY DAYS! 🐾

We’re excited to share our upcoming Stray Spay Day dates & locations! 🐱✂️

📅 These appointments have been filling VERY quickly, often weeks in advance, so if you’ve been waiting for a chance to get a stray or community cat fixed, don’t wait to reach out!

Stray Spay Days are an important part of our mission to get ahead of the overpopulation crisis. Every cat we spay or neuter means fewer kittens born into a life of uncertainty, illness, abandonment and suffering. 💚

⚠️ Please plan ahead! Once these spots are gone, they’re gone. We do our best to accommodate as many cats as possible, but our clinic has limited surgical capacity and these special days fill quickly.

If you’ve been feeding a stray, caring for a community cat, or have cats showing up at your home, getting them altered is one of the most effective things you can do to help.

🐾 SPAY. NEUTER. PREVENT SUFFERING. 🐾

Please share this post! Someone in your neighborhood may be waiting for an opportunity just like this. 💚🐱
