Kitties, aren't we so fortunate to have nice homes? There are lots of feral cats who do not have homes to live in, but who have always been feral and so would not make good house cats. Today is a day to raise awareness about feral cats and about Trap-Neuter-Return programs. Several of my friends have done such great posts on this subject, and are much much more knowledgeable than we are, so I encourage you to go and read their posts, and also to go to the website of Alley Cat Allies and read their post about Feral Cat Day. They have an education section with lots of literature about feral cats and the best ways to help them.

My humans said this morning that they want to find out more about how the officials in our town are managing the feral cat population and become involved in encouraging a TNR policy.
The ferals need all the help they can get, thanks for sharing about them!!!
ReplyDeleteWe sure don't mind a bit that you put a link to our post about the feral kitties. It is so important to get the word out about this subject. The TNR is such a great thing. Thanks for posting about this subject.
ReplyDeleteGood post, Simba! How nice that your humans want to help your community with a TNR program!!
ReplyDeleteGod bless the ferals and all the people who help them! They all need it. This is our first visit. We, too, have a post about ferals today. Its nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteSimba, when our mommy read that last bit she got all leaky! She's weird that way so gets leaky from joy too. It's wonderful your mom and dad are going to see what programs are available to help feral kitties in your town! Tell them thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteWe are all formerly feral here at The Lounge. Humans need to get us spayed and neutered.
ReplyDeleteOur feral guy Henry really likes his new Hut, and of course his dinner!
There is a TNR program here in Vegas on the strip, they maintain colonies to control rodents around the casinos! They are working cats.
Good for your humans, Simba! And thanks for sharing the link to my blog post and commenthon - you are always welcome to share anything I have to say that you think is important!
ReplyDeleteI have to support the next town over..Knoxville as my town doesn't have anything to help our ferals.

*I* was feral so I know how important it is to help.
ReplyDeleteOne little story: One of the Human's favorite fish restaurants--right in the middle of the big bad city--has a small vacant lot next door. There's a door to the restaurant kitchne that opens onto the sidewalk near the lot. Every night, the chefs put out all the leftover fishie for the ferals nearby. It is very sweet to see. We hope they are also getting spayed and stuff, but we love the restaurant for feeding these kitties.
This is great !!! As much as human help, we have more chance to help them have home !
ReplyDeleteThanks
xoxo
PS : I used to be homeless too
Push your humans onto the interwebs to find out! T-N-R is great and Äiti was involved in it in the UK. Stran-veli was going to be TNR'ed but he was so friendly he never got R'ed and had his forever home instead :D
ReplyDeleteFanks for helping raise awareness to help ferals. xx
