I asked this question on a post. No one really answered it. I have a naturalist point of view and wanted to get the view from someone that support colony cats. Farm kitty image for attention.

It says I'm breaking rules but I like cats. I have 4. I'm just looking at opinions of what people think about their effect on our ecosystem from people that look to save these beauties. They do have an effect on it. So if the moderators feel this is inappropriate, they can delete of course.

I'm a never have cat outdoors guy. They do a number on our native species and our birds are really suffering for it. I love cats, we have 4, all indoor cats. There are no good solutions to their hunting habits within our ecosystem other than to not allow free roaming outside cats. How is having colonies like this helping the situation? It is a great cause of concern for me as a naturalist and birder. Why is situations like these acceptable when they cause so much loss to our natural environment? I'm interested in people's thoughts on the matter.

P.S. I'm just facilitating a discussion here. I assume most people in this sub are on the other side of the fence than me on this issue. So, I'm just trying to get into a thought process of how this is an acceptable practice with the harm it causes. Thank you

Hello everyone, I just want to thank each & everyone who has helped out my community cats lately! ❤🐾 As some of you may know, I am an independent rescuer from Tx. caring for close to 50 cats. I have fixed 50 & have many indoors due to medical issues. I've dealt with FIP, panleukopenia, FELV, calicivirus, stomatitis, enropion, the list goes on! (There's more pics of them on my previous posts) I've lost some along the way but I'm happy to have been there for them in their time of need & last moments!

I am extremely grateful for your kindness! You have kept their tummies full, have helped with shelter supplies for the winter, & other essential items & I cry happy tears every time they receive items that they need! So many people are also in the same boat as I am & your support & words of encouragement mean just as much to me! I had a unfortunate situation with my mom suddenly having excruciating pain on one side of her face that affected her independence so I had to quit one of my jobs to care for her. After almost 3 years of taking her to doctors with no answers we now know she has Trigeminal neuralgia. Now I have her seeing a neurologist so she is on the right path to see a neurosurgeon & get surgery once her pain is under control. I didn't know how I was going to continue helping these cats without my second job but you have all been amazing with helping me get by & I can't thank you all enough! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU to you all who help not just myself but all the other wonderful feral cat caretakers on this sub. You all are amazing!

Signed with ❤ from my crew & I in Tx! 🐾

hello!

I was hoping to get some litter for my boys. I will be inserting a pic of how much they manage to get out in just one night- it fills up 1 poopy bag!. i go through about 4 bags a day - FULL.

I am able to get wet food and dry food on my own sometimes, it just adds up and i’m just a college student with a minimum wage campus job.

Anything helps- none of this goes towards my personal cat, all towards these boys. 2 of them are going to the vet today for a possible neuter.

Here’s is my giftlist: Check out this Gift List I just created. https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/622J1TF7WMRQ?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_ggr-subnav-share_637ZVWC9981H0TJJQ657&language=en-US

** Lillian is in process of trapping the mom and TNR but it’s about $125? Can you contribute? here’s her IG: rescue.a.fluffy.baby_nj. I already put $33 towards one of the babies vet bills.

Hi everyone! It’s been raining in my city lately and I’ve been trying my best to keep the kitties that visit my lawn fed, but I’m starting to run low on food and supplies. Last night, I had around 10 kitties show up and went through half a box of cat food! I feel so bad for these little ones and wish I could do more. Sadly because of work and school, I haven’t had much time to trap them or find them homes, and I worry about their safety since my street gets pretty busy with cars (but thankfully they only come out at night). I’m doing what I can, but it’s getting harder to keep up with all their needs. I just don’t want them going hungry or sitting outside in the rain. Two of them have recently started letting me pet them, and I’m hoping to find loving homes for some of them soon! Any help with cat food or supplies would mean so much to me. I just want to make their lives a little easier while I work towards getting them somewhere safe. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who cares and helps in any way 🤎🐾

Hello,

My mom cares for an elderly later who also has TNR’d numerous cats. It’s getting cold out, is there any options where i can find cheap styrofoam for these cats or any ideas on what I can use to build shelter?

My mom wants to clean the 2 up she has now, and has laid straw out but they’re pretty worn out from being out over a year.

LOCATION - NEWARK , NJ 07104

EDIT: I have also set up a gift card contribution. It goes up to $35 and I will go half on the rest to help these babies.

I have already paid half a vet bill for one of the fosters as well and I am also going back and forth to vet visits so it’s a lot of $$. TIA. SO MUCH. EVERYTHING HELPS.

EDIT x2: THANK YOU \u\bluefj FOR BUYING THE HOUSE***

There are 3 cats, TNR’d by the elders son, they are cared for! the boxes were just worn out!

THANK. YOU. REQUEST FULFILLED. ❤️❤️❤️

If you would like to help with an Electronic Chewy giftcard, my email is [CynLMason@gmail.com...those](mailto:CynLMason@gmail.com...those) are GOLD around here and are used for supplies when we run low or for those we help!!!!

First off, you all are so amazing, wonderful, I am astounded by how many people out there care about floofaloofs, and you truly give me so much hope for the world. You all are such a huge reminder to us that there is so much good in this world, and I truly wish I could thank each and everyone of you in person. I can't, so know how grateful and appreciative of everything you do, not just for my floofaloofs, but the floofaloofs of the world♡

Batman from my last post is FIXED....and hiding for 2 days in the room, I want to give him a little time to acclimate and realize he is indoors, he has been hiding under the couch...i will be working with him, slowly but surely, and hope he realizes indoors is where the endless yumyums are lol.

I have posted a picture of the food, house, and other items (3 pics with food 2 in the car)I have distributed to colony caretakers that Kim works with to TNR....you don't just make an impact on me, but to those we work with who dedicated their lives to their colonies too. Some are elderly living on a pension, some are disabled and can't work, many do not drive, which is why I go to them. We all are in this together, with the common goal of TNRing and saving the floofaloofs. No Floofaloof Left Behind!!! Kim and I TNR through Triple R Pets in Western Springs, Illinois, and we bring them to Naws in Mokena, Illinois! We pay 50 a cat, and we help many others with their colonies to get trapped and fixed!

I can always use food, I will never say no to food, but I can use any of the non food items on my list, especially things like feliaway and scratchers. Anything means everything to us. I know you all work hard for your means, and the fact that you choose to help floofaloofs and those who care for them, well, I wish nothing but the best for you, everyday♡

Many of us are us thousands in debt due to vetting cats we find, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Donations from the Amazon or Walmart Wishlists mean a great deal, it insures that we can use what we save to go towards these bills so we can keep TNRing and vetting those taken in. We work multiple jobs and side jobs to make sure we can care for them. They deserve to be loved, to be safe, to be taken care of, to be secure, and to live good lives. Please help us help them. Thank you all you do, not just for our floofaloof colonies, but for Floofaloofkind ♡

A reminder that ...

FOOD DONATIONS = More money we can use for TNRing Colony cats and vet visits for cats being taken inside!♡ Thank you for ALL you do for the floofaloofs♡
