A neighbor contacted me about a cat lying under a car all day not moving. I immediately went over and found the cat hobbling around, looking for shelter. One of his back legs was swollen and dangling. This took place during the solar eclipse so I named this cat Sunny, who also remained sweet and… Read more »
Baby Gray was TNR’d through a shelter program at least a few years ago, maybe more. Baby Gray and his two other cat colony friends are bonded and fed twice a day by a kind feeder named Penny. They have feral shelters and companionship. They hung out together all of the time. This past… Read more »
Twenty cats have been TNR’d at the Land Colony site since last month. The colony feeder, Margie, called Kim last week about another neighbor, Deborah, who lets a few cats inside her house at night. One showed up with a fresh ear tip, so we knew that cat was just TNR’d from the Land Colony… Read more »
Joann found the Land Colony last summer in Avondale while we were TNR’ing all over the place there during the height of kitten season. Margie and her husband, Pepe, were feeding the cats in their yard, and there were just too many. Joann saw several two-month old kittens. Margie was on board with TNR,… Read more »

Jean is probably in her mid-eighties and walks with a cane. She still navigates all three floors of her home, and cares… Read more »
So happy to hear that Newt, a cat I TNR’d in my yard in 2013, is now a fully 100% indoor cat in my neighbor’s home! When I first saw Newt he lounged around all over my yard. Once he was TNR’d, Newt started visiting Amanda, my neighbor, a few blocks away. She let… Read more »
Back in April we helped Katarina find her lost declawed pet cat, Nico. Another neighbor, Steve, eventually found Nico on his property. In the meantime we TNR’d two other cats while we set out traps for Nico. One of those cats was Bailey. I wasn’t surprised to trap these other cats. There are… Read more »
