Read This If You Care About Community Cats... RESOURCES TO ASSIST YOU WITH HELPING KITTIES LIVING ON THE STREETS!!!
Hello, Patch Pet Lovers!
Today is National Feral Cat Day. I dislike -- no, I despise the word "feral" as it has such a negative connotation.
Not every "feral" cat is a "wild" cat... often times they are simply an abandoned kitty or one born on the streets, resulting in an extremely scared and desperate kitty; they are desperate for love, warmth, food, companionship, a family, and a home, as any other cat!!!
What most people are unaware of is when good TNR is done, usually by a caring rescue, many of these homeless kitties do not get released back to the streets after they have been spayed/neutered, received their shots, in addition to any medical care necessary, because they are deemed adoptable; therefore, these "homeless" sweet, affectionate kitties are fostered until a furever home and family is found.
Below is information from the ASPCA on National Feral Cat Day... and will help you help cats in your community!!!
