Puffy McWonderTail started visiting my yard this past March, at the end of a mild but long winter. I TNR’d him, and he’s been coming back ever since, but as a truly feral cat. He shows up at dusk or night only, and leaves as soon as any human comes into the yard. Yesterday I… Read more »
These cats think they’re hiding from me. Can you see Fleece? He’s from the Jose and the Pussycats Colony. After I TNR’d him he showed up again with a collar on. He must have gotten friendlier after his surgery. This cat is “new,” not ear tipped, but also had a collar on. She thought I… Read more »
Dice is done with breakfast and lounging on the catio in my yard. I love his lopsided ears! He could care less about the little bird eating amaranth seeds a few feet away. Feral cats are opportunistic feeders – they will eat whatever food is easiest to find. And the bird doesn’t seem very concerned… Read more »
Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow will keep Dice and Bouncy Bear from lining up at their outdoor cat feeding station right on schedule. Maybe they’ll hang out together in the chiminea cat house next.
Kitty Farrell, the outdoor TNR’d cat from the Sprockets Colony that was injured, is now fully recovered from her hind leg amputation and out of her crate. She has access to a room in her caregiver’s home, and is learning how to walk on three legs. She’s got her own YouTube channel that you can… Read more »
This year I’ve had several cats visit other colony caregivers for food and shelter. Sometimes they stay to establish new colonies, and sometimes they get adopted, like Babalu and Star. Robert F. Cattedy first showed up in my yard this past June. He was a bold and beautiful tabby, and looked a lot like my… Read more »
A feral cat colony caregiver surprised me this week by signing up for scheduled monthly donations for the cats through Paypal. THANK YOU! If you are interested in donating, there is a Paypal link on the right hand side of this page. All donations are used to trap-neuter-return and continue to care for the colony… Read more »
When we let our indoor pet cats out to explore the garden, we put up a screened fence to keep them from leaving the yard. But it doesn’t stop the outdoor colony cats from coming into my yard. Bouncy Bear and Dice line up like monorail cats.
We’re still trying to talk to the main feeder who won’t cooperate with TNR for the Cell Phones Colony, but in the meantime we can move ahead and do it anyway without him. Unfortunately he also lets these cats in and out of his home but there’s not much we can do about that for… Read more »
