Feral Cats of East Windsor Inc
As we celebrate the 5-year anniversary of owning our property we have finally come to the end of the legal issues pertaining it being a mobile park. We are now officially Berklee Farm DBA Feral cats of East Windsor Inc.

5 years ago we bought this as a foreclosed trailer park with occupants living here. We became a licensed mobile park as an investment for our rescue. Our hope is it being a sanctuary had faded. Nobody wanted to cooperate or was capable of cooperating so after a year we closed the park. Now at the end of all legal issues with closing the park we are moving forward by purchasing the last building on our property from the occupants.

Chrissy and I have $22,000 and we need to raise another $15,000 in the next month. Our shelter now will become the office for the rescue and the new building will be our new animal shelter facility licensed with the state of Connecticut. We still have some issues to work through with the town and state to make sure everything is up to the level of a public facility. With all the concerns of the town and state mandates for our shelter, we still have plenty of work to do.

Help Little Peanut and Cashew thru surgery and recovery.

We are trying to raise some money to help with our Mixed Nuts litter.

The largest in this litter of 5 has broken Little Peanut's rear foot and his brother Cashew's front leg. Mom was with them. When the first one happened, we thought... maybe he got twisted in the cage? But later on the same day, I pulled the big boy off his little sister... he was relentless. I saw Peanut's back leg. We pulled the big boy and his other big brother and kept the 3 smallest together. After our vet visit, we made the decision to get the little ones strong enough for surgery. At the time of the injuries, they all had goopy eyes and were congested. All except the big crazy brother...

Well, they are strong enough now. Tomorrow morning they have a surgery scheduled. The low estimate was $1500 with a cap at $1800. We could use a hand with the bill. This is a surprise, I haven't seen this in a while. Once before we had a sibling bite so hard his brother lost the leg. I know these guys will be okay in surgery and once out will start on their road to recovery and new homes!!

Helping Nemo
Little Nemo is maybe 6 weeks old. She was found screaming hanging by her back leg. Her foot had gotten caught in a flower trellis. She must have slipped and caught her foot in a wire V. She broke her leg in 3 places. Worse was these are radial breaks or twisting breaks. Xrays show us the damage. She lost her rear leg.

Today she returned from her overnight stay pre opp. She came thru with flying colors. We are all set to rehab her and get here ready. Yes she will move on some day. We already have a list of adopters ( including the techs at the hospital).

We are asking for help with her bills.

With kitten season in full swing and our food stocks are low. We are just getting by. We are caring also for 3 other rough street cats,including the boy today. He was limping ..... he is covered in wounds ... fighting wounds. I will recover him and see if he can stay off the streets ..... he seems lost.

Thank you for helping us.

Surgery for Sammy
This is Sammy's Story. He came to us from the streets of Hartford. The Street cats would chase him from the food. A person feeding caught him and found him friendly so she contacted us. He looked alittle rough, but was in good shape. He was Neutered , vaccinated and ready for adoption.

At the adoption center one of the volunteers told us he was breathing funny. When we checked he was fine. He was adopted into a home with 2 other cats, a dog, rabbit and other small pets. Everyone got along BUT the cats. Dog ... no problem. Rabbit , a gentleman. The resident house cats said NO! Since he was bullied before we brought him back into the rescue. We noticed when stressed he was breathing funny, but it passed quickly. The same day we brought him back he met his new Pet Parents. We talked about the breathing that we had seen. A few days after Sammy was brought home an appointment was made to check him.

Thinking it was something simple turn into Sammy having a life threating condition. Sammy has a Diaphragmatic Hernia, it is either something he was born with or an old injury. His organs move into his chest putting pressure on his lungs. He runs around in his new home, he loves it. Then he will stop and need rest because he gets winded.

The Surgeon who saw the xrays wonders how he is breathing. Without the surgery he won't live.

His new parents are retired on a fixed income. And we never would have let Sammy go into a home first if we had known. His surgery could cost up to $3500 . The real problem is our Doctor says if its something he was born with we might be ok. If its an old injury and his organs are healed into place we could be in trouble.

We feel the risk is worth a quality of a good life. We are looking for help. he is going to get the surgery October 4th at Bolton veterinary hospital . I'm going to run this for the week to see how we do to help Sammy.

Thank you folks, you know we don't do this to much. Most of the "Problems" we have we can handle. This is something to costly for us to do alone.

Rise of the sanctuary
The Rise of the Sanctuary
We have some very exciting news to share. We recently found out we were the high bidder on a piece of property at auction in East Windsor. Being Feral Cats of East Windsor it is destiny that this is where our sanctuary is. This will serve as our shelter and home as well. It has been a dream to have a piece of property like this for quite some time and after more than 8 years the universe has provided for us and the animals we rescue and care for. Although we can not disclose the address until after the closing (there are still occupants there) we can't wait to share the new place with everyone.
We have outgrown every place we have occupied over the years and need this to continue to grow and help more animals. With the new shelter we will be able to have more volunteers on a regular basis to help at the shelter. With the help of volunteers Russell will be able to travel even further away than he already does now to do what he does best and we all know what that is...the trapper extraordinaire. We will also be able to participate in a cat outreach program and house cats and kittens from high kill shelters in other states. The possibilities are endless as to what we can accomplish with this kind of facility.
This property is large enough to house feral cats that need sanctuary to live out their lives comfortably. It will house stray and friendly cats that will be available for adoption and where our KICU (kitten intensive care unit) will be along with those that have medical issues.
We need your help and are going to hold a fundraiser and we are on a time limit. We are fortunate enough to be offered a $10,000 grant by a donor if we can match it. We understand that it's the holidays and funds can be tight however this is a perfect opportunity for the future of Feral Cats of East Windsor and we could not walk away from it.
Every little bit helps and as always all donations will be tax deductible. Please help us reach our goal of $20,000 by donating any amount and share with everyone you can. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and as always we could not do any of this without the support of all of you.
Warmest Regards,
Chrissy, Russell and all those that pass through our hands

About Feral Cats Of East Windsor Inc

We are located in East Windsor CT.\nWe are here to help the Community Cats in the town and surrounding area.Our mission is to control the feral cat population through the trap neuter and return program (TNR) and educate the public with the process of managing the feral population or community cats in their neighborhoods. Feral Cats are the direct result of human disregard. They started off life as domestic cats left behind by humans and are left to fend for themselves. If they are not spayed/neutered they will breed and multiply quickly. These cats are born in the wild without human contact resulting in feral kittens and cats. With this a feral cat colony is formed. By spaying/neutering we are helping control the feral cat population in our communities. We house the sick and Stray.
