Update On Cats of Long Street

 5.3.16
I have gotten behind in updating. Very happy to say that most of the cats here now have homes! Updates are below. All of today's updates are in red.

7.12.15
We are URGENTLY trying to find financial support and placement for the following cats. There have been several injuries in this colony. There are too many beings living too close together here. We are trying to move all the cats out. I will list them in the order of priority.

Casanova is living at Seer Farms!

Casanova, a handsome, widefaced orange tabby, who was spotted 8 weeks ago dragging his leg, after being trapped, brought to Dr. Cameron and examined/xrayed was found to have a broken femur. He is very fearful, was trusting of the feeder for his colony, so we know he has potential. We are looking to place him in a sanctuary and need to raise funds ($1000?...looking into this). This is for a lifetime of care, food and shelter. He is Micky's son, app. 2 yrs old, FeLV/FIV neg. He is still at the veterinary hospital--should have left 2 weeks ago--desperately needs to get out into a healthier environment. (working on getting a photo)

Micky (in Foster Care) ADOPTED 12.15 He now has his own Facebook page by his new owners Mickey :)

about 4 years old, was rescued July 3rd and almost died of an infection in his bones. But at the last minute he rallied! His R hind hock is horribly bitten up and L knee is shattered. He will most likely need reconstructive surgery. He needs an angel to help with vet bills and a forever home because he is a sweet guy who lost his home when the owner moved away due to foreclosure and left him behind.

Snickers (in Foster Care) Adopted 10.15!

 is still on Long Street. We want to try and rescue him this week. Most likely he had an abcess that burst. We need to get him before the infection gets too deep. He is a friendly guy and needs a forever home.

Why these placements are so urgent:

We had been trying to get Cleo and Dunkin (mother and son--Dunkin is a tuxedo cat) a home together. Were planning to get them off Long Street. Cleo comes very close to her feeder and follows her around, goes for walks with her and her dog. Dunkin was very attached to Cleo. Unfortunately, Dunkin got into some bad brawl and his faced was very badly mauled. We tried for two weeks to trap him, but to no avail. He would disappear and then reappear. Then it was 2, then 3, then 5 days and he did not reappear. We had to accept the very hard fact that we had lost him. RIP Dunkin. We miss you and know that you are in a better place. Your passing is a lesson that we can't save you all and also to seriously consider that this is not a safe area for cats. See them in action

New trio that could be adopted:
Cleo has now bonded with little girl--a couple months after the loss of Dunkin. These two, along with a beautiful long-haired tuxedo named Fella spend their days together. They would do well together in a barn-type situation. Little Girl can be petted, Cleo loves to be close, and Fella loves to be a part of the group--he is under the car below, a little harder to spot.

Crystal

is 12 y/o and still not spayed--very hard to trap. She's very intelligent, hasn't lasted on the street this long by luck. She's given birth to many litters; has had numerous male suitors. I'm hoping to trap her in the next week or so, looking to woo her slowly into a crate and get her spayed and vaccinated. Looking to find a place for her so she can spend her senior days in a safe and caring environment. This lady deserves a break!
