5/2/24 – DCAS – 24 ferals, 1 friendly, 11 female, 14 male. One of the feral males was over 9 years old and due to severe dental disease, a head tilt of unknown cause and a corneal ulcer which could have resulted eye removal, he was euthanized. The caretaker was very grateful that we were able to help him. Two of the females had pyometra – spaying saved their lives!
5/7/24 – GEAH – 1 friendly female – Patty Cake is fully recovered from her PRAA surgery – Persistent Right Aortic Arch – in which an artery that normally disappears as the kitten ages, may sometimes encircle the esophagus must be surgically removed to resolve. - as rescues are able to care for more and more kittens, this condition seems to be found more often. Patty Cake is our second kitten with PRAA.
5/7/24 – DCAS – 3 friendlies, one female, 2 males. This friendly family was found on the street – too many friendlies are showing up these days!
5/9/24 – DCAS – 7 ferals, 4 female, 3 male.
5/10/24 ADOPT – 6 ferals, 2 female, 4 male. One male was chipped but never neutered – the owners could not afford to neuter both him and his sister so they spayed the female, he got out a year ago. Another feral had a right ear tip turns out, neutered in 2013, amazingly, despite being over 11 years old, he is in remarkably good shape!
Total: 41 cats for May, 191 for 2024 and 15,071 to date.
We are doing our best to TNR as many cats as possible so that we don’t have to work so hard in the future!

| At times we are just too busy in the AM to take pictures before the cats go out the door. Here they are getting fed after surgery. Crates have kittens that are awaiting their next step to Cats in Transition for more interaction and then off to foster and adoption! |
As Many as Possible As Soon As Possible
