TNR Adventures: The Yorktown Project

Recently, several Cat Corner volunteers have teamed up to help our community cats live a healthier and longer life through TNR efforts.  I am so excited to share our experiences and success stories with you all, and will post regularly to keep you updated on the work we are doing!

​This is Stacy's story:

It all starts with one unspayed female.  Mamma cat started showing up about a year ago, skinny, scared, and alone.  A neighbor found the cat and started feeding her outside.  Before long mamma kitty had one litter...and then another litter.  Before they knew it there were 12 cats on the property, IN ONE YEAR.

So many mouths to feed.. and they keep multiplying!
​Stacy, one of our volunteers, went over and trapped the kittens, one by one and brought them home to care for them and get them ready for loving homes.  They are so cute!

Kittens sure are cute, but what about the adults and the teenagers that are too old to socialize?  Stacy knew the adults needed to get fixed so the reproduction would stop.  She contacted us and borrowed three humane traps and went and trapped 3 of the cats and took them to the clinic to get spayed, neutered, and vaccinated.  No more babies for those little ones!  The will now live a happier and healthier life thanks to her efforts!

​​One of the cats, Hunter, was young enough that he was able to be socialized.  Here he is after his bath!

The rest of the cats were released back to the property and have a wonderful caregiver to look after them.  To date Stacy has rescued 5 of the kittens to eventually be adopted into loving homes, and we have spayed/neutered all but mamma cat.  She is trap savvy, but we will be back to help her next week!  
Thank you Stacy and our TNR team for helping this cat family!  It is because of you that this family will live healthier lives and kittens will be placed into loving homes instead of being outdoors.

We truly have a wonderful group of volunteers-small but mighty!
