Shadow Cats has a dedicated group of volunteers who monitor area community cat colonies and also TNR – trap, neuter, and return – cats throughout Central Texas in an ongoing effort to make their lives better.  Recently, a trapper working with a local apartment complex got a call…five newborn kittens had been discovered under a resident’s window.  Seven other cats had been TNR’d at that same complex just the week before.

Our trapper returned and not only picked up the kittens but successfully trapped their mother, since the kittens were too young to survive on their own.  Now they are all under foster care in the trapper’s home and safe from the bitter cold nights we have been experiencing lately.  In the coming weeks the kittens will be nurtured and socialized; mama cat is very feral and will most likely be returned to her community cat colony after her kittens are weaned.  And, of course, mama will be spayed so that this doesn’t happen again. 

These kittens will get all the care they need – but vaccinations, vet visits, and spaying/neutering are not free, of course.  Can you help out with a donation to get them off to a good start in life?  Or, perhaps a few of you could offer a new forever home to one or more of these little angels.  Contact us and we’ll be happy to tell you all about them!
  
      UPDATE:  All kittens have been adopted into loving homes!
