Even More Cats Neutered!
Forgot to mention in the last blog post, 1 feral male went to Glen Ellyn Animal Hospital on 11/10/22. He had an almost completely opaque right eye, but the vets thought it would not get any worse and he had some vision out of it, so we did go ahead and neuter him on that day. He is FIV+ but he will be coming inside with a friend of his caretaker and his health will be monitored.
On 11/18/22, 4 ferals and 6 friendlies went to ADOPT, 3 males, 7 females. One feral female has been with her kittens in foster but has not decided the indoor life is for her. Another female came from a recycling and disposal yard and will be relocated as that can be a dangerous place to live. The caretaker of a third female felt a strong bond and wanted to give her every chance to come inside, and she is now warm and cozy in a crate. The fourth was returned to her colony. Each feral gets as much individual consideration as we can give them!
This brings us to a total of 49 for November, 686 for the year and 13,900 since our beginning.

Giving Tuesday Black Cat Fundraiser 2022
You may have already been bombarded by the volume of non-profits participating in Giving Tuesday this year – it has become a very popular way to raise funds! We try not to over solicit, but don’t be mistaken, these funds have huge impact on the expenses in the following year. Many groups limit their Giving Tuesday efforts to one day, our Giving Tuesday fundraiser ends on 12/31/22, giving people that last chance to easily make a donation at year’s end and make a difference for the cats we will be caring for in 2023. Make a donation in the memory of a pet, a person, a place. Whether you donate $5 or $500, it all comes together beautifully to make a lasting impact. Our spokescat for Black Cat Giving Tuesday, Jujube, was near death when she was scooped up out of a yard – with the resources we have come to count on from our donors, she is now a lovely cat, so happy, and waiting for the right home!
