Baby, It Is Coooold Outside!

As the old song says, “Baby, it’s cold outside!” 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/

Another Success Story

We are so pleased to receive a note like this one: My neighbor … had put us in touch as I was figuring out how to deal with neutering our 2 semi-feral kittens. You were so helpful and put my might right. It went swimmingly – even the entrapment – and today out neutered males are perky and comfortable. Thank you, Anna. Thanks, Anna, for keeping us “in the loop”.

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.
