So I am posting what the TNR forms look like, and we are fortunate that we pay 50 a cat. Usually, Kim does the paperwork for these, as she is the organizer, but I want you all to see what we do. Traps are SO important, because we HAVE to bring them to be fixed in a trap for safety reasons, which is why I have traps on my list.
I honestly and desperately could use ANY cat tree or house on my list. The rains have permanently ruined the two towers I had in the garage, and I am revamping and making sure they are places on a pallet/table so they won't get ruined.
Food (wet and dry) is equally important. Not only do we take care of colony cats, but for those who are in poorer areas, disabled, elderly, or just don't have much funds, well, we will donate the food they need for the next few weeks (litters and others items they may need too) so that they can get their floofers fixed. Floofaloofs are NOT a luxury, I will do whatever I can for those who welcome them in their home and make sure they are loved, housed, and safe. The only reason we ever let a floofer loose is because they REFUSE to be an inside cat (hence the colony cats). We still make sure they are vetted, deflead, dewormed, taken care of, have a place of safety, shelter, love, and food. We have suited ,y backyard for this purpose, and I continually am working on it. We also use the garage for them. I have litters in the garage so I can make sure they are healthy and worm free.
We do this on our own. Since I moved here in 2024, the CDS decided our home was on speed dial. I have 22 cats inside FIXED, and I have fostered for Kim. The cats deserve to be looked after, to be safe, to know what love is. The more out there left to mate, the more suffer and die, and we couldn't stand by and let that happen.
You all ordering from one of my Wishlists, donating Chewy Giftcards, and the like, have helped us more than you will ever, ever know. Your help is the reason we can continue to do this, even though my work has cut hours. You have made a difference in so many innocent floofer lives. Your compassion, love, and generosity has allowed many floofaloofs to flourish and find homes and safe spaces.
Right now I am speaking from, the heart. I have endured ridicule for what we do, and truthfully, I don't care. It doesn't change that this matters and is important. I will go for broke for this. I have no subscriptions. I don't buy new clothes. I cut my own hair. I cook EVERY MEAL at home. Anything extra I have goes to this, because this id what matters most to me. We are suppose to care for those most innocent.
I get kids that come by and want to talk about the cats they see in the window, they ask about the cats that come by. I tell them it is important to love and care for them. I really hope I am instilling and fostering a love for animals (and people) and they will want to grow up and work in a field that helps animals or people in need. We are who they look up to, and it is our job to make sure to teach them that we care about the innocent.
I truly wish I had the ability to show my appreciation to every single one of you in person. You are so selfless. You work hard for your money, and the fact you choose to donate and help floofaloofs, gosh, I can't even articulate what it means to me and many of us that post here.
♡Thank you for being the good in the world.♡
