Visalia Feral Cat Coalition Inc

Meet your Host and Honoree, Michelin

Michelin has graciously agreed to be the Host and Honoree for the 5th Annual TNRM

No Banquet—Banquet, an event benefiting the Visalia Feral Cat Coalition’s Community Low-Cost Spay and Neuter Voucher Program. Funds raised from this event will support a sustainable and well-funded spay and neuter program that will continue through 2025.

Michelin herself was rescued from the Costco Tire Center. Now a happy cat who has never had kittens, Michelin remains feral with most people but has a deep bond with her caretaker. Her story symbolizes hope for other homeless cats, who may also find security and care without the constant worry of finding food and water.

Join us in celebrating Michelin’s journey and in supporting this critical initiative. Your contributions will directly ensure the well-being of our community's feline companions.

Michelin, wishing to prioritize your comfort and well-being, has decided against hosting a formal banquet. Instead, she encourages you to enjoy a cozy evening at home with your beloved pets. With incredible wisdom, Michelin hopes you'll consider supporting the Visalia Feral Cat Coalition in their mission to help feral cats. In 2023, the VFCC successfully spayed or neutered 2,912 cats, and your generosity can help us continue this vital work.

Therefore, there will be no banquet this year.

Thank you for your understanding and support!

An urgent cry rang out across downtown Visalia this last weekend as concerned citizens rallied to "Return not Release!" After the Visalia Feral Cat Coalition (VFCC) unveiled a fundraising sign with a typo that has shaken the community to its core.

The typo, quickly became a flashpoint for civic embarrassment and impromptu grammar tutorials; but to the VFCC it's more than just a spelling error- it's a symbol. "We are not just fixing a banner" says VFCC board member Marc Egge "we're preserving the legacy of feline dignity in Visalia, we can't go forward until we correct the past!"

Volunteers have taken to street corners with clipboards donation jars and very passionate energy. "Just a few dollars to fix history!" shouted one volunteer wearing a "grammar as my catnip" t-shirt near a local credit union.

Who knew $237.43 could fund a banner, boost cat morale with gourmet tuna, and deliver a firm feline 'meow-mail' to a printer? Join the Visalia Feral Cat Coalition’s mission—every cent helps us trap typos and cats alike.

Meet "Haethen" the young grey soldier. This handsome guy arrived from parts unknown to a cat colony in Visalia. He found a feral family and some kind people who provide a daily meal to the locals. Haethen does not fit in with this interim group because he is NOT FERAL but was left to fend for himself about a month ago. He has shown a will to live and some street-savvy skills to survive this long on his own. However, he really needs your help.

This friendly lost soul urgently needs medical help with surgery due to the extensive damage to his eye and injury to the ear on that same side. Unfortunately, funds are not available to help this guy. Rescues have been contacted for assistance. Unfortunately, local rescues are tapped out after a brutal and still ongoing kitten season this year.

Donations will be applied directly for cat care and medical needs.

Veterinary services for injuries is set to be completed at New Village Pets Vet in Selma. If we raise enough to care for his injuries, then be neutered and vaccinated at Valley Oak SPCA Clinic, and get him set up to eventually go home with a new adoptive family. Funds will be managed by Visalia Feral Cat Coalition Inc, a nonprofit organization. If you are very interested in providing a permanent home for Haethen, please contact VFCC via their website or facebook.

Haethen will have a foster home to re-socialize with humans and recover before being placed into adoption, IF we can raise enough funds to get him healthy again. Please help this guy who deserves a chance at a great home. Any amount can help us meet the goal to save him.

Tuxie is in urgent need of our assistance. This summer, he began losing weight, and we initially thought it was just due to the heat affecting all the feral cats. However, his condition worsened, and he became alarmingly thin. We observed him struggling to eat, showing signs of distress, which led us to realize what was happening. Tuxie has an appointment on Monday to have a problematic tooth removed.

We are seeking donations to cover the cost of his tooth extraction, and any additional funds raised will be used to support other feral cats in need through food, TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return), and vouchers. Tuxie has been a beloved member of the Visalia Feral Cat Coalition, even serving as the star of our No Banquet - Banquet. Currently, he is surviving on baby food, which has helped him gain some weight back.

As a true king among feral cats, Tuxie has always looked out for his fellow felines and wants to continue his reign. The picture shows his current condition—thin but improving. Unfortunately, mosquitoes have been bothering his nose, which explains its appearance.

Please consider helping Tuxie by contributing to his dental care. Your support means the world to us and to him. Thank you for your kindness!

Tuxie during better times
