Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR)
The first photo is of a cat that would surely have died a terrible death alone if he had not been trapped. He has an upper respiratory infection. You can see the mucus in his eyes and nose. He can barely breath. He is lucky because someone took him in in order to medicate him and nurse him back to health. Sadly he'll get fixed and returned outside when he is better, if he makes it. Many others in his colony could be infected with upper respiratory infection if they do not already have it and be destined to die.
The calico in the next picture is coming down with the upper respiratory infection and is in also in care.
The others are photos of the cats that were trapped and show how terrified they are. The area is infested and a TNR group has been contacted because there are two very pregnant females that need to be trapped continuously to make a difference.
In the meantime, your donation will allow Kitty Connection to set traps and have cats spayed/neutered as we wait for help. Your donation of $70 will sponsor a spay. Any amount will help because with each $70 we can send a cat to get spayed/neutered.
This little one in the 5th photo is about 13-14 weeks old. He is very scared but workable. If he was put back out he would surely die as he is coming down with an upper respiratory infection. You can see crust build-up near his eyes and mucus near his nose.
We can prevent other babies from this type of life and sad death. Fulton is lucky because he may get a second chance at life. He is alive because we have been having a mild winter. If he is put back out, he will surely die because he is developing an upper respiratory infection. This is how many feral cats die because of illness that goes untreated. It is not an easy death. Picture yourself with the flu and no medicine, food or anyone to help you and your breathing worsening. Something as simple as spaying and neutering can prevent other kittens and cats from this fate.
