Ready, Set, Go…Trapping Season 2017

Posted by derrycats in cats, community cat

We’ve gotten an early start on the trapping season this year. The winter was so warm that the female cats were in heat in January…very unusual for these parts. Kitten season will no doubt start early too. We trapped our first cats a few weeks ago, and are getting ready for another clinic this coming…Read more »

Weekly Photo Challenge: Family: Feral Colony

I thought it might be time to update those of you following along with Roger’s journey. If you’re new here, Roger is a 6 month old feral kitten, part of a colony Derry Township Community Cats is caring for, and he was really looking quite sick. Quite. He was sick enough that I was able…Read more »

I’ve been a bit quiet here lately; another project took up lots of my time. I volunteer with a group in my area (Derry Township) that works on trapping, neutering and returning (TNR) feral or community cats, and the project has been for that group.
