Help me move my feral colony and save my kitty family!
Donation protected



Hi everyone,
In the summer of 2020, I saw a cat in my yard looking emaciated, with 4 little kittens following her. I had horrible cat allergies, but I couldn't see her suffering and starving, wandering around. I knew if I fed her, this would be a lifelong commitment for me.
I began feeding her and named her Mai (which means Mother in my native language), and thus began my little colony of feral cats and my transformation into a cat lady.
I rescued 2 of her kittens (the other 2 passed away shortly after I saw them for the first time), and a few months after, I began transitioning the 2 I rescued to indoor cats. The female was pregnant, 3 weeks before her spay appointment—I named her Bobbi. During COVID, it was very difficult to get these appointments, and unfortunately, Bobbi got pregnant. So now I had a bundle of kittens. I got 2 adopted out together to a wonderful family, kept 2 (Mini and Kaluha), and their mom Bobbi as my indoor cats. Bobbi's sibling was fixed but feral and remained outdoors. He unfortunately disappeared shortly after.
Their mother, Mai, left before I ever got TNR certified, but I had a feeling she would return to me once again. She did return a year later with 3 more kittens. By this time, I was TNR certified and was working with April and Taryn and Victory 4 the Voiceless. They had helped me trap and fix cats that I had found, and when I trapped these 3 kittens, V4V helped place them up for adoption. And Mai was finally trapped, spayed, and was done having any more kittens. She seemed grateful and never really left me after that. I continued to donate my time and money working with V4V and trying to help out in any way I could. This was my community and now my purpose. I got to meet some wonderful people: Lou, Janette, Joan, and others, but I am so grateful to April and Taryn for all the advice and help over the years.
I still have the 3 generations, but unfortunately, grandma Mai remains feral, so she stays in my hallway most of the time, away from my indoor kitties. She does go out occasionally, but those days are also coming to an end.
Since then, I've had 3 other ferals stick around (a few have come and gone—some unfortunately disappeared), and now I decided to move due to some unfortunate circumstances. Luckily, where I am moving to, I have a large yard and a finished basement. My plan is to build out a nice catio during the summer, but until then, I will keep my 4 ferals in the basement and try to transition them into indoor cats. I know a couple of them are pretty friendly, and I hope with enough socialization, I can get them adopted one day.
This is where I need help from my animal-loving community. I have to get everyone vetted. I have already gotten my 3 indoor kitties vetted and ready for travel. I just need to vaccinate, deworm, and microchip the 4 I have on my property. Mai, Coconut, Biscuit, and Micky could use your help!
Any amount I will be SO grateful for, and if you can't give anything, please share this far and wide.
Thank you to anyone who does donate to us and helps me keep my promise to all my kitties. I know I'm forever grateful, and so are they.
