Doing TNR in the summer comes with many challenges, but the primary one is: KITTENS!🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛

When we’re working on colonies in the summertime (when cats are out there doing what they do best), we are confronted with what to do about all the kittens. If we leave them behind, they will grow up and start reproducing before we are able to get back and catch them all. So we take them into our foster program if we have any space at all. During the course of this TNR we took in 29 kittens!

We also had a rescue transport this morning that collided with TNR release day. We sent 13 lucky puppies off to our fabulous partners Homeward Trails Animal Rescue (thanks JR Pet Services Waggin' Train Galax for keeping them safe), and we also sent 10 kittens to our partners Operation Paws for Homes, and helped Simon, a sweet pup from the Galax Carroll Grayson Animal Shelter.

Oh, and we also trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinate, and provided needed medical care to 52 cats 😺 (thank you, Angels of Assisi ❤).

We’re going to go sit down for a minute and catch our breath. Thanks to all the volunteers and fosters who make these events happen and to our transport partners Tazewell County Animal Shelter and to all the cat colony caretakers out there who are doing their best to keep their kitties safe and healthy!😻 ...
