Come spring and summer, we are busy with our Trap/Neuter/Release efforts to sterilize stray and feral cats and keep the population down. No matter how many cats we sterilize, there are always lots of kittens and mamas with litters out there, and our foster homes are quickly maxed out.
In the fall, before all the summer rescues have found homes, we begin to get numerous requests for help as people who find or feed tame strays seek assistance in finding them homes before it gets too cold.
Here are pictures of just some of the cats we have been notified about in the last week alone! These are the lucky ones who are able to be fostered or financially sponsored by their rescuers, enabling us to help without further straining our limited resources:
- Little Bit - a teeny, tiny calico rescued by a kind family in Glencairn starving and full of mites who immediately took her to the vet to get her treated and ease her discomfort;
- Georgie (tabby kitten) - a precious, playful young kitten rescued by a PFA foster mom in the General Hospital area, all alone, and not claimed despite many efforts to locate an owner;
- Blink - a beautiful grey tabby who is so affectionate and loving that he immediately crawls up your chest to hug you as soon as you get close enough! He was being fed by a kind lady in North Central who has rescued many strays and helped cover their vet bills. He turned out to be fixed and tattooed, but went unclaimed. He is currently at PetCetera waiting for a new home.
- Bob-Tailed Kitty - this gorgeous girl spent the summer dumpster diving in a North Central back alley before being rescued by an animal loving family who noticed that she is pregnant - and has an injured paw.
There are many more out there that need help that we are currently not able to give as our foster homes are full. For information on fostering or donating to PFA, please visit our website at www.people4animals.ca
