And to our donors-thank you! Your generosity makes it possible for us to get these cats the vet care they need. Please remember us on Giving Tuesday, December 2nd, as we are once again participating in ROC the Day!
While we’re always overwhelmed with the number of requests for help, and constantly worried about funds, thanks to our volunteers and donors, we can continue helping the many cats who need us. 
We met so many lovely people who love the cats and want to help them weather the winter.
Thank you to Gretchen, Alan, and Joan our super-dedicated volunteers and Rachel from Rochester Animal Services for making this day a success
Not all cats will use shelters but most will. Place them in areas out of public view where the cats usually sleep, face them against a wall or each other to block the wind, elevate off the ground, place straw underneath, weight them down so they are stable, use plenty of straw inside, sprinkle with catnip. Remember to keep at a reasonable distance from feeding area (not too close and not too far) and never put food, water, or fabrics in the shelter. If not being used, try a different location and a little more catnip 
Thank you for making winter a little better for our feline friends We are always in need of thick-walled coolers. Contact us if you have some that could fit one or two cats.
We want to thank Girl Scout troop 61062 for their help in getting shelters to us last month!.
Join us this Sunday Nov 16th 12p- 2p at 460 Oak St. We’ll have the materials you need to make a simple yet very warm winter shelter. Participants can take the shelter they make with them once it’s finished and stuffed with straw. Please remember to only use straw to fill shelters and replace twice a year.
Thank you to Rochester Animal Services for securing the space. Details below.

Although this is a rescue – rich area, transferring friendly cats to rescue partners isn’t always an option and foster homes are always in short supply.
Last year we opened up a small place in N Winton Village for fully-vetted adoptable cats. It’s a work in progress, but an amazing group of volunteers let the cats have fun while waiting for their purrfect adopters.
Our primary mission is TNR- spaying and neutering the cats who remain outdoors due to temperament and making sure they are well-cared for. But TNR also allows us to find those gentle, sociable kitties and give them a second chance. Your donations allow this to happen link to donate in our bio! Thank you!
Thank you to our dedicated volunteers for trapping and transporting, our rescue partners for accepting friendlies, and the amazing vet staff at Lollypop Farm @lollypopfarm , Whiskers to Tails, and the Wyoming County SPCA @wyoming_county_spca . We have to work together to make real progress
We’ll be spending the next few months on raising much-needed funds and making sure that the colonies we’ve TNRd have everything they need to get through the winter months. Thank you for your support
This neighborhood has a significant need for spay/neuter services -for both outdoor and indoor cats- and we were fortunate to connect with members of the Lyell-Otis Community Association! We look forward to working together for more sustainable success.
The large number of free-roaming cats didn’t happen overnight, and it won’t be solved overnight either. With collaboration and steady, focused commitment we have the best chance of curbing cat overpopulation.
Your donations go directly to pay the vet bills we accrue each month. We are tremendously grateful for your support
Please donate! We depend on you to help us give these beautiful cats a healthier and less-stressful life. Thank you for your support
Trapping is so much more than just setting a trap. Assessing a colony ahead of time and feeding in an open, unset trap for a few days meant we trapped the females in this colony quickly this morning.
The reality: two few spay/neuter appointments and too many cats means we selectively trap females right now. Winter coming means we try for females now. You don’t need a drop trap to single out the females. Bottle and string will do the trick!
We need trappers! Contact us to join us!
