Whew! What a week! 104 cats from 21 different colonies from Lambsburg to Mitchell Crossroads to Elk Creek (and everywhere in between) were trapped over 3 days and provided with spay or neuter surgeries plus rabies vaccine and treatment for other medical issues over 2 days by the amazing staff at Angels of Assisi (love you guys❤).
This was a huge undertaking, and we couldn’t do it without our donors and sponsors. We are incredibly thankful to Homeless Animals Support Network by PWHS for providing the entire funding for one of the clinics – which is the only way we were able to afford these back-to-back clinics! Their funding of $3,100 allowed us to double our impact, helping even more cats receive the care they need to keep them healthy and prevent so many unwanted litters which only perpetuates the pet overpopulation problem here in SW Virginia.
We also couldn’t do it without our amazing volunteers, including cat trappers, cat fosters, cat feeders, cat loaders, cat unloaders, cat cleaners…you name it, they do it😸! Our intrepid trappers for this event included regulars Leigh, Angie, Laurie, Megan, and Lisa, plus brand-new (to us) dynamo Larissa who trapped at three different locations in and around Independence! We are also thankful for all the cat colony caretakers out there who love their outdoor kitties and want the best for them.😻🐾❤

While TCHS volunteers have been very busy these last few days with TNR to trap, spay/neuter and release feral cats, we still managed to transport a momma dog with three puppies, another pup and a gorgeous kitty. Thanks to JR Pet Services Waggin' Train Galax for boarding the dogs and Nancy Harrison Taylor for fostering the cat. Of course a big thanks to Homeward Trails Animal Rescue and SFC Virginia for taking these animals in order to find good, loving homes.
