These gorgeous creatures are part of a small community cat colony consisting of five members (Matty is lounging elsewhere), and a frequent visitor (Moonpie is strolling around his domain). A couple of them were abandoned as kittens and the stories of the others are unknown. It was an established colony when I first became a caretaker, and three members have been lost … two disappeared, and one was re-trapped, turned out to have breast cancer, and she had to be euthanized. We are currently in the middle of re-trapping the cats to update their rabies shots. Note their left ear: the cats have been trapped, neutered, and returned and the left ear tip is a sign that the cat has already been T, N, R’d.

There are now several people in the community who are caring for the cats on a daily basis, and the business where the cats are located is highly supportive. The cats are very, very lucky compared to most animals that are abandoned.

Please consider adopting an animal from a shelter or rescue group. Please return them to the shelter or rescue group if you cannot care for them for whatever reason.
