Scooter: Our Thanks

We thank you and the Board for your interest in Scooter, a much loved feral cat, and would very much like him to be celebrated on the SCRUFF website. He lived from 2013 to 2025. Following is a portfolio of photos taken during the earlier part of his life. There are so many teachable things to share about feral cats. For one, no two are alike and all deserve a chance to live out their lives. Thank you for the work you do and the time and perseverance required to help these cats. Our regards, Ilene and Dan

SCRUFF Makes Difference In Lives of 471 Cats

As 2025 is quickly coming to an end, SCRUFF is proud to announce we made a difference in the lives of 471 cats. We are extremely grateful for our dedicated team of volunteers who show up month after month, including our veterinarians, vet technicians, cat trappers and transporters, and of course our Board of Directors who work behind the scenes to keep our vision alive. Special acknowledgment to the compassionate people who show love and care to outdoor cats… including YOU! In the words by the late and great anthropologist Margaret Mead: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Enjoy this time with your loved ones and know you can make an important difference in the lives of countless outdoor cats. We look forward to 2026 and welcome anyone who wants to join our team.
