Church Hill Street Kitties
Donation protected
When I moved to Richmond I was so excited to find such a wonderful neighbourhood then I started seeing cats. Cats in the back yard, under the neighbour's porch, across the street, under the bushes, CATS EVERYWHERE! Why are there so many cats? Then I found sick kittens and had to help. I learned about Trap- Neuter-Release. I neutered Apricot, her 2 sisters, her mama, her auntie, her papa, and her uncle. I started patroling the alleys and parking lots . I found 30ish cats hanging around a dumpster....I got about 15 of them before construction scared them off. When ever a new cat moves in I stalk it....follow it around. Find where it lives. I talk to all the neighbours to see if they know the cat. Have you seen this cat? Which way does it go? When do you see it. Do you mind if I set a trap near your porch? Friday nights are for tracking, Saturday nights trapping, Sunday and Monday's are for neutering. Tuesday -Thursday are for rest and recharging. I love it. That's my story. It's not glam but it gets the job done. Please consider helping me. A little goes a long way.
All money will go directly to care for the Church Hill VA feral street cats under my care. TNR expenses (canned catfood, neutering , litter), food, rabies shots, and emergency medical care (abcesses, getting hit by a car, old cats that get cancer etc..very ill cats). I have TNR'ed over 35 cats in Church Hill and currently feed 21 spayed/neutered cats that are in small distributed stable colonies. I feed the cats once a day to keep them healthy. I get some cats adopted and I also find volunteers in the neighbourhood to feed others.They are named, well cared for, and many are tamed and ready for adoption. I WANT TO KEEP GOING with TNR in this area. It's made such a HUGE impact already. There have been no new kittens in 3 years where I have been practing TNR. I LOVE doing this work and am happy to donate my time, car, gas, home,and homemade cat shelters. Also I adopted 6 cats myself....Please help me humanely reduce the cat population in this urban neighborhood. See my instagram account churchillstreetkitties (only one h)I'm not very techie but I can catch cats!THANK YOU.
