Joyce Hindman hasn't added a story.
My name is Joyce H. I live in a small town in Camden County, NJ, a town of 6500 people, some wooded areas, wild turkeys, racoons, deer and hawks. We are also home to two cat colonies of about 20 cats each. Some just show up, attracted by other cats, some probably are abandoned, unfortunately.
Tracy R. runs the ONE WOMAN Spay Our Strays clinic in town. She traps new cats, gets them spayed or neutered, any medical care or shots they need. She monitors new kittens and tries to collect them when it's safe for the kittens to be socialized with people and adopted. (They need to be weaned, able to clean themselves, and so on.) Then she'll try to get Mama spayed. She feeds them, makes them shelters in bad weather. This is all on top of her own regular work to support her own home and family. Needless to say, this is incredible expensive. The poor cat in the picture had his foot trapped in an old muskrat trap and so far has about $500 worth of medical bills.
Feral cats, adults, are rarely adoptable and often miserable if taken inside. Neutered and left in their colony, they often visit porches, travel around town, and when you have woods as we do, they help control pests that normally foxes might. So they are a vital part of the area, but uncontrolled breeding leads to over population that will badly impact songbird and other helpful animal populations. Kittens can starve if Mama is malnourished.
Tracy can't pay for it all alone. The town's people help, but surely, there are animal lovers who'd rather donate to an individual making a difference than to a huge organization of questionable motives and unknown practices.
You can help give wild cats whole, happy, safe lives. Anything will help.
Every penny past FundRazr's fees will go to Tracy and her SOS clinic.
