PLEASE - SPAY/NEUTER your pets!!!

A cat can get pregnant at 4 months of age and have 2-4 litters per year. There are NOT enough homes for everyone. Having your pet spayed/neutered at a young age(before they have their first heat cycle ), usually makes them more lovable, affectionate and also reduces their chances of contracting cancers. (especially mammary cancer in females)

Look into the petition by Alley Cat Allies: The national feral cat resource. To support humane trapping, spay/neutering of stray and feral cats and kittens. Oppose the killing of Cats


The Image Gallery at Animal Voices.com which shows a variety of subjects on every type of animal welfar, animal rights issue that we all need to be aware of for the animals with no voice and no choice. Select other subjects from the dropdown menu. Animal Control Picture Index


If you feed stray cats around your house, please fix them or have them looked at to know if they are already fixed...fixed cats will hold their territory, preventing new breeding strays from entering. A stray(once owned cat/used to humans) usually will allow you to get within a few feet of them, they also 'talk' to you quite a bit. A feral (wild) cat will not allow you to get close - they usually run, they rarely talk to you (unless you possibly are the regular care taker).

We continue to have strays/ferals in our 'back yard' spayed/neutered. We focus on spay/neuter but always try to help people with a need for pet food (dogs and cats and will take food donations too). It is more than anyone can imagine.

5) Donate to YOUR local rescue = whether it be unneeded, gently used bedding (wool or acrylic is wonderful in the colder weather); Unneeded pet carriers, leashes, litter boxes, bowls etc. Anything on THEIR Wish List. We'd be happy to take items, as we continue to assist people who have the need for more leashes, bowls, bedding. If you're interested in donating cat food - we are assisting a handful of families who'd greatly appreciate the assistance.

6) Donate time to ANY local rescue that has the need. Learn how to foster kittens, puppies and adult animals. Offer to assist trapping. Most times there is too much to be done and not enough helping hands.....many rescues would be happy for the extra help!! It is very rewarding and fulfilling, give your time to the animals with no voice and no choice, as to their fate!

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (F.I.V.)
POSITIVE: Positive results indicate that the antibody to Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (F.I.V.)is present. In kittens less than six months of age this may be due to a vaccine for F.I.V.; passively acquired maternal antibodies, or an infection that has not presented itself yet [Re-Testing as 6 months of age is recommended, when moms passively acquired immunity is out of the kittens system. Positive tests in kittens over six months of age may be due to a vaccine for F.I.V. or infection. [in non-F.I.V. vaccinated kittens, a western blot test is required to confirm infection].
NEGATIVE: Negative results may indicate: No F.I.V. infection or F.I.V. Infection but no conversion to exhibiting the disease [these cats should be ReTested in 3-4 months].

Click here to view some videos that will move you and show you the reality that is today: Dirty Old Stray, also available: In Hope, An Animal Shelter Story The Tragedy of Stray Cats, Adopt for Life, and more availabe on You Tube.com The following is a quote to think about, from one of the videos on youtube.com:

"Animal ownership has traditionally been a right, it needs to be a revocable privilege."

Don't buy pets while animals are still strays and dying due to overpopulation and human irresponsibility. The solution rests on ALL of our OUR shoulders When people complain "Why doesn't somebody do something about all of these stray, feral cats", Why don't you be that somebody? You just may be surprised at the rewards!


THE #1 reason to spay/neuter your pets and NEVER give a cat away for FREE!!!!: Inside the World of Dog Fighting

An excerpt from MSN posting on June 4, 2007 on Dog Fighting:........................ dead cat or a live cat to one of the spokes and tie the dog to one of the other spokes and let him tug that around all day. They use weight training where they have the dogs pull weighted sleds. Then they have the spring pole, which is simply either a tree or a large pole with a spring or a cable or tire on it and the dog will jump up and grab it. He will actually hang on to it and bounce and have his own personal tug of war."

Declawing & Self-Education

We have old cedar fenceposts that we make into a scratching post with nice sturdy bases for sale for $20. They stand about 36-40 inches tall. We also have 6 foot posts that would be [slightly higher in price on posts taller than 36-40", depending on size].

Click here to download a photo of the scratching post we make and have available to anyone

We train our cats to use them because they're economical, sturdy and solid. Some cats may not like Vertical scratching posts because they prefer a Horizontal surface (thus they may be using a carpet or other item that lies flat on the floor to scratch. We can make horizontal scratching posts as well.

Who We Are

We started to spay/neuter the strays that came to our backdoor for food in fall of 2002. We cared for that first mom and her 3 kittens, they were feral so we released them and continue to care for them. We then spay/neutered all the feral and stray cats that came to our yard for food. All were vaccinated(in order to have a fighting chance in a world). We then, without searching, rescued a mom and her 7 kittens that next fall. We then started to work with a friend and use petfinder to try to find homes for all of them, we did. Since then we've taken off, with at least 2-3 rescued litters/year. The volume of requests seems to grow each year. We have no grant money. Since the start, we've paid for everything out of our own pockets [spay/neuter, vaccines, health care of cats of over 4 strangers we've met [a total of over 25 cats total there], let alone the cats we take in and rescue/adopt out.]. There never seems to be a shortage of cats in need.

In 2006, we spay/neutered approximately 48 cats. Of which 19 were owned by people who were in need of assistance. They were able to keep 7 of the adults, the rest were found homes by us and by them. We found loving 'for'-ever homes for 28 cats and kittens.

2007 started off very quietly but when March came, so did the litters of kittens. We spayed/neutered approximately 41 cats, the majority were done at the Cincinnati U.C.A.N. clinic. By years end we had 27 adoptions (many were animals that were previously owned). We rescued 9 litters of kittens for a total of 34 kittens. We took in 4 mom cats and were able to find a home for one. We had 21 of the 34 kittens adopted and 12 previously owned cats adopted. All but one was under 3 yrs of age.

2008 started out with rescuing 2 adult cats. A young Russian Blue and the other appears to be a long hair maine coon. The Russian Blue is less than 1 yr of age. The Maine Coon cat has already found a forever home after just one week. The Russian Blue found a home in May. Grayson was adopted to a home w/ lots of a family with lots of love to give....he's in heaven!. We took in two kittens, both about 6-8 months old. One is adopted, the other (Emmie) was pregnant. We found forever homes for 2 of last spring kittens that are almost 1 yr old [CoCo and Charlie]. We took in 2 kittens [JJ and Julie] that were born to a house of 4 breeding cats [3 male, 1 female[Junebug](who's had 4 litters in the last 18 months)]. We also took in her 1 yr old son - Gizmo. In mid summer J.J. and Gizmo were adopted togther. Junebug was adopted in mid-fall and Julie was adopted in early winter. We rescued Susie and Sunny at 6 weeks of age. Their mom was extremely feral. Mom was spayed, vaccinated and returned. She has a caregiver/feeder. Susie and Sunny were adopted in the fall. The end of July brought Gypsy and her 7 kittens(just 10 days old when we rescued them). Tabby and Siamese/Tabby mix kittens: Gomer, Garfield, Grover, Goober, GiGi, Giselle, Georgie. We took in Opie (a wonderful loving, interactive small kitty who'd be great with new cat owner), then Lucky was rescued from the middle of Montgomery Road in Norwood, lying there exhausted and starved. We got Sidney and Winnie fixed(2 breeding female strays in our yard and a new stray showed - Louie (obviously owned at one point) now fixed and happy. As of November, we've spay/neutered about 36 cats; this includes cats in our rescue or foster homes. November saw Junebug get a lifelong home, as did Opie, Grover, Garfield and Gomer. We also rescued Hank from our area and Ronny kitten from the west side. Lastly, Trixie and her 3 calico kittens were rescued.

2009 began with 2 calico kittens getting adopted together and Hank getting a great home. Two calicos were saved from a Kill shelter, one was 4 paw declawed but NOT spayed[Josie]. Edward was saved from certain death and recouperating very well at a foster home, for a second chance at life, literallly!!! Josie was adopted, as was Emmie. Ricky was adopted - a 5 yr old cat with a great personality. Becca and Becky were taken in in late March. Pierre, an adult declawed cat was taken in & adopted out in less than 2 weeks. Louie and B.J. - 2 friendly outdoor cats were taken in due to neighbors threatening their life. We'd helped one person with a breeding colony left when their neighbor died, get them fixed. We used vouchers from SCOOP: www.scoopcat.org. Another stray male was trapped & fixed in our yard. Darcy was adopted. At the start of summer, we assited a fellow local rescuer & trapped a local feral mom cat was fixed & released. The mom cat had 2 ten week old kittens, tuxedos: Squiggy & Scooter, that could not be left outside. A person who had a feral cat colony & has one unfixed cat left, had 4 kittens. The mom was fixed & returned to them. The kittens were taken in for fear of giving away free kittens & having them breeding before anyone ever thought to fix them. There are 2 males & 2 females & a mix of long hair, medium hair[Snowbell, Smudgette, Sooty and Snowball]...great personalities!! A local person was giving kittens away for free again, so we had the mom cats fixed, tested & vaccinated. There were 7 kittens. Snider and Snickers -brothers - from Blue Ash were taken in when someone waws to take them to the SPCA without giving these great kittens a chance for a lifelong home. The mom remains unfixed & hasn't been seen in many weeks- possibly moved to another area & had more kittens....

To try to find homes for cats and kittens is a challenge. Sadly, too many people are not open to anything other than an 8-12 week old kitten. Many do not realize at that age: you don't know the animals personality (they do look cute though) and you have a much larger vet bill than a rescue person can get (we do pass the savings on to the adoptee, believe me = no rescue person makes a profit) Sadly, like old people - too many do not want anything to do with a cat that is grown into a young teenager (at 6 months of age) or a spunky 2, 3 or 6 year old cat. Cats, like people, have their body grow larger and age faster than their personality. Too many times adoptees overlook the adult with a wonderful 'purr'sonality for a kitten that looks 'cute'......sounds pretty superficial when you think of it.? Take the time to get to know a 1 or 2 year old cat, most times they are a kitten in an adult body. Our 16 yr old cat is very kittenish alot of the time. Looks are fleeting, 'purr'sonality is forever!

We do NOT take in animals from peoples homes(due to moving, etc) - please do not call us/email us asking us to take your pets{as this would have us end up with over a dozen calls/day! If we did we'd have hundreds of cats, the numbers are unbelievable. We would be able to help you with finding them a home(providing information on what works, resources to utilize, etc.), but they would have to remain in your home until a new one is found. If you are interested in this, see further down the homepage for contact information.

Sadly, there are thousands and thousands of animals across the U.S. and the world that need help every day of the year. In many countries, they eat their domestic animals [yes, dogs and cats!] and use the skin and fur to make wares(i.e.: fur trim on clothing etc); to name a few things. All because animals are not spayed/neutered, there are too many. Every person would have to personally own 45 cats for there to be enough homes! That means a family of 4 people would care for 180 cats in order for there to be No More Homeless Pets (NMHP).

No More Homeless Pets (N.M.H.P) is a local group of Rescues that meets monthly, at a library, here in Cincinnati, to try to do TNR. T.N.R. (Trap, Neuter, Return) stray and feral cats throughout the city and collectively tackle the pet overpopulation.

Pay it Forward!!

How to give back to the animal community with very minimal effort. Always contact the rescue/shelter or vets office to see what they need, if you're thinking of making a donation, so as to not overload them with items they have plenty of.

** Save your aluminum soda & beer cans as well as your aluminum pet food cans & lids [please rinse to control odor] and donate to our rescue. We can take the aluminum to a local recycling center and get about 65cents/lb...it all adds up for extra funds for the cats.!
1) Donate your unwanted and gentely used old towels, blankets, comforters/quilts, Fleece, bed pillows(yes those old flat pillows you don't need make great cushioning for some cat houses), sheets and rugs to a rescue/shelter. Even vet offices always have a need for used towels and blankets.

2) Donate your unwanted/unused pet beds, leashes, collars, petbowls, brushes and cat trees to rescues/shelters - these items are very useful.

3) Take the time to keep your aluminum cans [lables removed & washed petfood cans {include the lids, those are aluminum too!} & soda cans] out of the recycling bin = keep a separate large trash can for the cans. When it is full, take them to the Aluminum recycling center (there is one in Oakley) to get CASH....use the cash to buy dry food for the rescues/shelters. Aluminum cans do NOT have a magnet stick to them...some pet food cans are still steel, be sure to test if you're not sure. During the summer months, maybe you can make this a project for your kids - to see how many soda cans they can collect all summer.

4) Take pillow cases and fill them with the polyfill from a craft store [Soft n' Fluffy is what we like best]- soft enough to make a nice bed for a cat to nestle into....tie them with large trashbag winders and donate to a rescue/shelter that can use them under larger blankets, etc. for a cushion.

5) Take the extra money you'd use from a 'night on the town' one night a month and put it in a jar to use to buy some needed items for a rescue/shelter. Call them to see what is on their 'Wish List' that that money can be used for.... OR ...tell them to use it to Spay/Neuter a rescue animal!!

6) Make a donation to a low cost clinic and have them use the money to assist anyone coming in with animals ! It decreases the cost to a rescue/shelter. Cash in all your jars of pennies and other change and donate that money to a rescue/clinic. It may just help get 1 or 2 more animals Spayed/Neutered, that wouldn't otherwise be done now!!

7) Take any usable building materials: 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or even full sheets of plywood, unwanted exterior insulation, 2x4's and materials that would be very handy to build a winter shelter. Slightly used Aluminum roofing, chain link fencing, old dog houses etc. These will not go to waste at any shelter/rescue!!!

8) Become of FOSTER person! Foster people are very much needed and valued. Working with a rescue directly to save a kitten/cats life is a very rewarding experience. OR Volunteer. Too many times there are too many things that need to be done at one time. You would be valuable should a family emergency arise/ out-of-town death in the family etc. Give of yourself and it comes back to you two-fold.

9) Use your imagination next time you're thinking of getting rid of something, maybe instead of giving it away = tell folks it's for an animal rescue and ask if they'd like to "Make a donation?"........ Have a garage sale to raise money for any animal rescue/shelter of your choice. Find out which ones do not have grant status and maybe help out the 'litte guy'.
