COMMUNITY KITTENS – WHAT THEY ARE AND WHY THEY NEED HELP

Community kittens belong to no one, and are always under threat from disease, starvation, cold, predators, traffic, losing their mother. They are also at risk from people who don’t like having Community cats around, or from well meaning people who may remove them from their nests. Kittens under the age of 16 weeks simply won’t survive outside without help. Even adults struggle to survive. That’s when NCKR can step in, foster the kittens or assist you in fostering/caring for them.

At Napanee Community Kitten Rescue, most of our work is with kittens, usually orphans. Kittens that have lost their mother due to predation or trauma, are abandoned in boxes or bags at the side of the road, or are found by well-meaning people and removed from their nest. We always look for the mum, but often she is dead, or has abandoned her babies due to illness or lack of resources. When there is a mum, it is most often a single stray/feral cat who has taken up residence in a shed, under a porch or deck, and has babies or is pregnant. We work with colonies as well. We do our best to help them survive and thrive, and find forever homes. Kittens are our main focus, but we will help where we can; injured or sick adults also come our way.

We believe that as a community we can make a difference and save lives. Together, we can educate, and advocate for Community cats (homeless, stray or feral), spread the word that TNR (Trap Neuter Return) is the only humane approach to population control. TNR is part of what we do, but our priority is orphan kittens/mums and kittens.

We believe that spaying/neutering our pets is essential (we help with that when we can, for cats brought in from outside).

We work with Community kittens and cats. We do not take owned cats.

 

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Learn about Community cats and kittens and what they are. Community cats are feral/stray. Cats living outdoors are not necessarily feral. Many friendly cats (strays) live outside after getting lost or being dumped by their owners. And remember, feral cats are not homeless…they just live outside, often in colonies.

This is a very good article from Alley Cat Allies about Community cats and the differences between feral and stray – feral-and-stray-cats-an-important-difference

Spread the word about TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) for the adults. If you want to help the kittens, call NCKR and we can assist you.
