HOW WE CAN HELP

---

We are passionate about helping the cats that no one has to help them.  Many times this includes cats that are hit by a car, attacked by a predator or other unfortunate circumstances.  Depending on their situation, whether or not they can survive the injury, or if it means making a humane decision for them, we will ALWAYS put the cat first.

We partner with several non-profit organizations to provide expertise in large scale trapping to bring areas, or "colonies", to containment. Containment by all standards is 85% of all cats should be fixed, however, even one female can restart the cycle.  Our goal is 95% with 100% of the females.  Having partnered with The Cat House, Joining Forces Saving Lives, Brave Animal Rescue TNR, Lincoln Animal Ambassadors, Lincoln Animal Control, Beatrice Human Society - we want to be THAT partner.

Even though we are staffed by volunteers, we do our best to help when and where we can.  We drag out our ladders, crawl through the weeds, duck through trees, dig through sheds, barns and garages - and we use our tools.  Cameras, traps and other things that fit a situation.  

We ask for understanding if we can't make it there immediately, but we will always try our best.

Our focus for spay and neuter of owned pets are for individuals experiencing homelessness or near homelessness, domestic violence and veterans.  The #1 way to ensure that people find safety, and a better situation for themselves, is to ensure that they can keep their cat with them.  Not only does this help the humans, but it also keeps cats with their humans - preventing surrender, abandonment or euthanasia.  We will use Beatrice Humane Society for the spay & neuter, and will also provide transportation to and from their clinic in Beatrice.  They leave in the morning and come back that evening!

Our Head Meow went through Feline Infectious Peritonitis with her Lucky Lou, aka our Head Treat Tester when it wasn't approved or supported in the United States by the FDA.  Fortunately, we now have access to the medication and treatment protocols with veterinarians.  

We will support the initial diagnosis and first round of treatment through Beatrice Humane Society.  We cannot provide funding to private or corporate veterinarians at this time because the cost is prohibitive.  If you personal veterinarian has suggested or provided a potential diagnosis of FIP, we would ask that this information be shared with our veterinarian at Beatrice Humane Society so we can escalate a treatment plan to support you and your cat.  

We get it.  FIP is not a death sentence.  It is however, extremely expensive and we have a way to help.

We understand the pain, fear and panic of needing to rehome a loved cat, or cats.  As much as we would like to be able to help with shelter, housing or rescue, we are not equipped to house owned or surrendered pets.  We will do our best to provide alternate resources, but we do not have a facilities for this need.

We started our non-profit to prevent the unnecessary birth, and most times death, of kittens.  Many rescues focus on the intake and fostering of kittens, and we can help provide contact details to rescues in your area that may have the ability to help.  We wish we could save them all, but we simply don't have the room, money or resources.

There will be a time when we can help feral cats with these immune deficiency diseases, however, we cannot today.  Given the nature of our volunteers and their own feline families, the risk of transmission for those that we are already caring for is an obstacle. We CAN provide contacts or connections to resources that may be able to help or provide alternate solutions.  

We CAN share more about both of these diseases, and help troubleshoot solutions!
