Holidays Can Be Hard On Little Cat Tummies

Let’s face it, all the holiday goodies and treats can be tough on human tummies and waistlines. What sometimes we forget is that the kitties out there might have tummy trouble, too! We have to face facts, our cats have been known to “get into things“. We definitely do not want that to happen. Here is a very short list of human goodies that cats must avoid: Fatty or spicy foods (might be a good idea for some people, too!) Chocolate (yummy for people, not so for cats) Bones (never, never, never) Everyone at SCRUFF wishes all people and cats out there Happy Holidays!

What Happens At One of Our Clinics?

During our regularly scheduled clinics, cats receive a basic health exam, rabies and distemper vaccinations, flea treatment and pain meds, in addition to a spay/neuter surgery. An ear tip is also performed to clearly identify the cat as altered and vaccinated in order to prevent future trapping/transport/anesthesia for surgery that is not needed. These services are offered at a low cost. Cats are monitored closely throughout the surgical process and discharged when they are fully awake and responsive.

Photo From A “SCRUFF Fan”

Every now and then we are lucky enough to see a photo of a cat that has made itself at home with one of our “SCRUFF fan” families.  We recently received this photo of Luna who has been a resident of Guilderland for several years. Luna is NOT a feral cat. However, she was adopted from a local rescue group. We hope you enjoy seeing our pal Luna.

A TNvR Story

We recently received this story and we thought that it was something important to pass on: My husband, neighbors and I rescued 3 kittens born under a shed in Niskayuna.  We also had the mama cat and another black and white male cat, both feral. We fed mama a ton of food which she then fed to her kittens. She moved her kittens and we couldn’t find her for over a week. Finally, she brought them to my house where I had a heated shelter. We got the kittens to Kitten Angels … who got them into a foster. They’ve been adopted into good homes.  Mama and her black and white friend (named Christine and Socks) were trapped with the help of Kitten Angels and were brought to you. They were neutered, spayed and inoculated and returned to us. They are doing well. Thank you so much for helping save their lives. We continue to take care of them and keep them fed, warm and happy. Sincerely, Diane. Thanks, Diane, for telling this great story.
