On World Rabies Day, we want to share two important pieces of information: 1. Cats are NOT a major rabies threat. They rarely contract rabies, let alone transmit it to people, and cat-to-human rabies transmission is exceedingly unlikely. Community cats are safe members of our communities.

Sweet little Rosie is so loved by her family! They knew she was suffering 😿 so reached out for help. We worked together to get her to the vet… now she’s recovering from UTI 🙏 So many pet parents cannot afford easily treatable issues. There are so many ways to help in our local communities 🙏

Her ear is tipped from TNR after she was found roaming and brought inside. Rosie’s family has been a CCN client for years. Photo owned by CatCareNetwork.org

SUCCESS!!! 🥳 After multiple rainy & humid & mosquitoy attempts, the LAST garage colony litter has been captured!! 3 generations. 4 adult cats (3 female, 1 male). TWENTY-TWO kittens total 🙀 Huge thanks to @arliowa.bsky.social for intake & care for these adorable 4wk babies 🙏

A variety pack of five adorable kittens peer up suspiciously from a cat carrier. There are 2 fluffy grey & whites with bright blue eyes, 2 black and whites with outrageous white whiskers (one resembles Dishonest John) and one smaller sweet brown tabby with gold eyes. Took two attempts and 3+ hours to finally trap these shy babies… their mama did such a good job keeping them safe so I was the first human to touch them. Photo owened by CatCareNetwork.org

Dispelling rumors of GLAMOUROUS work in running a “cat help” nonprofit 😹🤷🏻‍♀️💩

Screenshot of a text exchange with one of my clients whose cat has had terrible diarrhea: “How’s the poop going so far?” “I got a really soft sample, it’s in the fridge”. I feel like I talk about cat poop so much it rarely seems weird… but this convo made me imagine someone looking over my shoulder wondering what the heck!

Gorgeous little Click continues to make such good progress! 😻 Still very skittish, but loves pets and scritches, even on top of her head (which was a “no zone”). She doesn’t hide away anymore and comes out to greet me. Also a champion toes-under-the-blankets biter 🦶😼😅 #FeralToFriendly #Caturday

Lovely 6mo grey and white teenage kitten named Click was caught in early July in phase 1 of my 22-kitten garage rescue. Her siblings were returned to the colony but Click showed such interest and willingness to trust at 3 months old. It has taken much longer than expected to progress socialization… but it little steps day by day! She is so lovely. Photo owned by CatCareNetwork.org
