Cami update yesterday Cami had spiked a fever again last night - but it went back down today (assuming the antibiotics kicked in) - she has already gained weight !! Her Intake weight was 4.9 lbs!!! She is now 6 lbs  oz - over a pound gained but still quite a ways to go - she is a big boned girl...

Cami (prev Mona Lisa) was brought to CCSPCA in a horrible state.  Severly emaciated, terribly dehyrdated and weak.  We aren't really sure of her background or where she came from , but despite having a fever of 105 and so much stacked against her - she remains so sweet and loveble! She is...

I am working on a couple of other resources that can hopefully provide some assistance. I know of a few tnr groups that are located in south jersey. Are any of the cats able to be handled or picked-up ?  Try to buy a little time with the association if possible.

I sent you a private message with some advice.

I have been in the exact same situation before. Most vets really have no idea how tnr colonies work in real life nor the challenges involved in caring for one . You absolutely did the right thing and although it would be so much better with an informed and understanding vet. the outcome is what...

So sorry about your loss. I find the pain and distress of losing an outside cat I care for is often equal to that of losing my own house cat. Even more so sometimes because you usually don't know the details and constantly think maybe you could have done more to prevent it. I always hope they...

Just in case anybody is keeping up with Cupid the latest update is that he will most likely be discharged from the hospital on Monday and it appears the re-constructive surgery on his one remaining back leg has been successful. It will take some time for him to begin using the leg but this story...

I would make a string toy (or buy one) that has some catnip in it. I made one that was @ 5 ft. long so the cat could keep a safe distance while playing. It really ended up being a key part of the cat coming out of the carrier and wandering out of the bathroom initially. It took a couple weeks of...

So Cupids surgery was successful and he seems to be doing really well considering. Thanks to all who have pulled for him and anyone who may have donated to his care. This is kind of a miracle in progress as I never thought he would make it this far. Thanks. (Below is the latest update on cupid)...

This cat is currently in surgery. Please say a prayer for him. Thanks.

A couple of months ago I took in a feral female. She was already tnr'd but her colony was being removed from their home and she was the last one remaining. I had taken care of the colony and her for 3 years so she was familiar with me. She spent the first month in the carrier in a bathroom. She...

This adorable young kitty is an unneutered male who was found laying outside in someones yard crying and not moving -- he either got attacked, abused or hit by a car.  His back left leg is completely ripped off. His back right leg is broken as well and the knee is out of its socket.  The vets...

That is a huge step.

I took in a female feral two and a half months ago. I had previously cared for her and the colony for three years outside so I was able to handle her somewhat and had built a trusting relationship during that time.  The property owners removed the colony of 8 cats over the period of a year and...

One of the cats showed up 2 days ago. She had been gone for 34 days. The other has not returned and she's been gone almost 4 weeks. I am going to take the cat and move her into my home. I am able to handle her and can usually pick her up without a struggle however this is a big move for both her...

I've lost all seven of my colony in less than a year. Four were trapped and removed (killed) by the property/business owners last October. Another was hit by a car around Thanksgiving. The two remaining made it through the horrible winter we had and it appears the property owners have now...

I am sad to report the two remaining cats appear to have now been removed by the business owners. I am really mad at myself for not relocating them as I had planned. I came so close on several occasions however did not get it done in a timely enough manner. This will be a painful lesson about...

I've been taking care of a feral cat colony for several years. There are two cats that I can pet regularly as I have cared for them since they were kittens. Both of them still attempt to nip at my hand on the rare occasion. I am aware of it so I can see it before it happens usually. I think when...

I am planning on this type of move for two fairly friendly ferals I care for and your story has really given me some confidence and motivation that it can be successful.

I've been taking care of a colony for two years. There were seven cats originally and all were TNR'd with shots etc.. by  myself and another person. At the end of last summer we were told to stop feeding them by the property owner. The owner trapped and disposed of (killed) four cats while...
