A Note of Thanks

Dear Scruff:   We remember how your organization helped us with neutering feral cats near our house. We adopted two of them as our pets.   Hope this small donation helps a little.   (Anne and Karl B)

It Is January … Again!

January is a mighty cold time of the year. To help community cats stay warm this winter… As temperatures dip below freezing and even colder, community cats face additional challenges to find adequate shelter. If you are providing food and water for community cats and need ideas on how to help them stay warm, please call Scruff at 518-526-3372 for more information. Here is an example of a DIY shelter to get you started: https://www.alleycat.org/resources/how-to-build-an-outdoor-shelter/

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.
