It is unseasonably cold here, and homeless cats are suffering.
Click HERE to read about the weather.
Last night we brought two cats in from the cold. They were both in rough shape. One, Georgie, a lovely spayed grey and white tabby female, had been trying to shelter in a styrofoam cooler under a deck. She is now at the veterinary clinic being assessed, and will be moved into foster care today. Shadow, an older long haired grey neutered male, was found by our feral cat team wandering in a back alley, freezing, disoriented and dehydrated. They brought him to my house, and he is already improving - eating, drinking, sleeping a ton, and washing himself. This poor bedraggled boy will hopefully be moved into a foster home space in a few days so that my fostering room can remain empty for those emergency last minute cases that our feral team comes across so regularly in the cold.
Both of these cats are tattooed, although Shadow's tattoo is illegible. Someone once cared enough about them to have them sterilized. However, it's clear that they have both been on the street quite a while. We will call them in to the lost and found dept of the Humane society today, and see if anyone has reported them missing.
Please, keep your pets indoors during this weather!
And, we are in even greater need for foster homes at this time of year. If you have a spare room that you could offer to a cat that will die on the street without help, please contact us.
