Short break for the kitties!

The kitties are taking a short break from adoption centers. We elected to give our extra week in one of the centers to another group since we've had three months of incredible adoptions (83 adoptions since November 1 and 29 of those were in January!!).

We'll be moving into Petsmart Capital on February 6 and Petsmart Morrisville on February 13. A big thank you to everyone that helps keeping the kitties clean and helping with adoption events - enjoy the week.

No adoption events next weekend (Superbowl weekend) but we are doing several barn cat relocations next weekend. YAY!!

Thank you volunteers!

Thankful for new volunteers this weekend.

Plus, so many of our volunteers are people that have adopted from Alley Cats and Angels. That means a lot to us as it means our adopters have a lot of confidence in Alley Cats and Angels. THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR VOLUNTEERS - WE LOVE YOU!!!

If you're interested in volunteering, please email info@alleycatsandangels.org, there are many different ways you can help.  Thanks.

Adoption Update

Three adoptions this week: Sassafrass, Sassy, and Wren(!!!).

A bit slower than it has been but then again we've had so many adoptions lately that of the 65 cats currently in our adoption program, only 15 are available for adoption as the rest are newer intakes and undergoing medical or are young kittens not old enough to finish medical yet. Of the other 50 cats not yet ready for adoption, quite a few of the kittens have a status of adoption pending spay/neuter - so if you see a kitten you're interested in, get in your application now!

TNR Volunteers Needed

Does you love feral cats? Want to help them out? Are you an experienced trapper for TNR? Or not experienced but want to learn TNR - we can train you and mentor you.

Alley Cats and Angels receives so many requests for help with TNR, including referrals from other local rescue groups not experienced with ferals. To help with these requests for help, we need to grow our TNR Task Force by adding feral cat loving volunteers who want to help with TNR (trap-neuter-return).

Be it helping with trapping, helping transport to and from vet, helping with recovery or all of the above - it all makes a big difference in the lives of forgotten felines. Help us help the ferals by joining our TNR Task Force. Email info@alleycatsandangels.org for more information. Thanks!

Barn/Garden Homes Needed

Many feral cats in several Triangle, NC locations under the threat of trap and kill from Animal Control (animal control trapping ferals is a guaranteed death sentences as shelters are not eqiupped to handle or place ferals and they will be put to sleep).

These cats typically prefer the freedom of a "working life" in a rural area to a comfortable lap in suburbia. If you have a barn or larger outbuilding, yo...u can provide these cats with a second chance at life. We work hard to match the right cats to your location, provide all relocation equipment, ensure all relocated cats are spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccinations before they are relocated.

Alley Cats and Angels has a proven relocation protocol and has relocated over 250 feral and semi-feral cats to safe alternative homes. We have a 97% success rate of cats staying around after the confinement period.

Please email info@alleycatsandangels.org if you can provide a safe place for these cats. We will travel up to two hours from the Triangle to place cats (we can drive farther for larger cat placements).
