This is the 10th anniversary of National Feral Cat Day, started by Alley Cat Allies; the most humane way to help a feral cat is through the Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program...and of course, if they choose to stay with you after TNR, they become family...
Mommy Cat and Daddy Cat have been part of our family for the last 10 years...They had a comfortable home in the garage at our old house, but were free to come and go; as the years passed, they chose to spend more and more time in their garage home, safe from the outside world...
Before moving into our new home a few weeks ago, I had central air conditioning and heat put in the garage and adapted the 2 car garage into a home just for Mommy Cat and Daddy Cat...This is a small glimpse of their new home, a safe, temperature controlled spot just for them, filled with fun toys, enjoyable cat trees and cozy beds...Mommy Cat and Daddy Cat, formerly feral cats, are truly my babies, an important part of our family...We hope more people will realize the importance of TNR and possibly welcome some of these sweet, loving stray kitties into their families.
Mommy and Daddy Khat are furry lukhky -

Wow, Mommy Cat and Daddy Cat really hit the jackpot with your new home! They went from being outdoor ferals with an uncertain future to living in paradise! Wouldn't it be nice if this could happen for all feral kitties?
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo! That looks like almost as much fun as the Catio! In fact, it **IS** a Catio! I would like to come visit Mommy & Daddy cat--maybe they would adopt me? They look like more fun than the Human ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm with Sparkle, it would be so lovely if this could happen for every feral kitty.

ReplyDeleteYes, Mommy & Daddy cat are very lucky; they are now protected from any outside abuse and will be warm in the winter and comfortable in the hot humid summer. I know they are a joy to you and you love them very much. Great job Jacqueline!! You are an animal's best friend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful place you have set up for them in your new home! They are very lucky to have you. Thank you for caring for them.
ReplyDeleteWow!! We love your new place, Mommy Cat and Daddy Cat!!
ReplyDeleteWe wondered if Mommy and Daddy cat live totally indoors now or can they go outside if they wish? They must surely have the best feral accomodation ever.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

There is nothing more gratifying than to see them having a decent life!

I didn't know it was National Feral Cat Day. That is great! Yes, feral cats are sometimes known to become very good pets and I agree with the TNR programs. We have that in the Ottawa, Ontario area with some of the larger colonies. Out my way they do not get that much help....usually just fed if they are lucky.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Saturday, Jacqueline. Hugs, Deb =^..^=x5
What a great post, Jacqueline! Thank you for taking care of Mommy Cat and Daddy Cat, and sharing their story with us. Their new home is totally PAWESOME!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this!

ReplyDeleteJacqueline!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are the best cat mama!!All 5 of your furkids are lucky!!
What a beautiful home Mommy and Daddy have.
Hugs Madi and Mom
That is so very very NICE what you did for Mommy and Daddy Cat! My mom takes care of ferals - it is a tradition passed down from her dad, I guess. They swarm her any time she goes outside, but when I'm visiting they beat feet! I can't even lure them to me with food! It's so nice to see your ferals and their good life. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely new home for Mommy Cat and Daddy Cat. They must think they are in paradise.
ReplyDeleteMommy and Daddy Cat são gatos de muita sorte e que tiveram a felicidade de encontrar uma pessoa tão bondosa quanto você. Tomara que muitos outros gatos abandonados tenham a mesma sorte. Kisses and have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteExcellent remodel! Here's to fewer ferals and more homed kitties.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great home you have made for Mummy and Daddy. They are so lucky to have found you, and I am sure they love thier new home.
ReplyDeleteWoofs,
Riley
Uh oh! Cecilia and Madison got a look at the set up for Mommy and Daddy cat. They are jealous. They have a nice set up but you kitties have a GREAT set up.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a GREAT party room to me!! xxoo Bhu
ReplyDeleteMommy Cat and Daddy Cat have to be some of the luckiest TNR cats ever! Bless you for going above and beyond for them!
ReplyDeleteHow amazing you did that for them--the garage looks like such fun! TNR program truly is an inspiration. I hope people realize its importance too!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Jackee
Thanks for the gorgeous pictures!
Mommy and Daddy Cat have it made! What great living quarters! I'm so glad they found you, Jacqueline. Kisses to all your babies and enjoy your new home.
