<div>Help Me Care for feeding, fixing, healing, and rehoming feral and sick cats in the Sierra Foothills
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Candy Heron. I’m a retired nurse practitioner, and homeopath and longtime animal advocate now living on a fixed income from Social Security. For the past two years, I’ve been feeding and caring for about 30 feral cats across four locations in Sonora and Jamestown, spending over $450 a month just on food. I also cover the cost of spaying/neutering, vaccinations, medications, and vet care — when I can trap them and afford it. So far, I’ve managed to fix and vaccinate seven and treat countless others with whatever resources I can gather.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lately, the need has grown even more urgent. You may have seen my posts about Sophie, an extremely sick little cat I rescued from the MJC campus, and Mimi, a disabled kitten from a feral colony, who is unable to bear weight on her rear legs. (see my Facebook posts of 6/29 and 7/12). Between the two of them, I’ve spent over $4,000 in vet visits, medications, and supplies over the past few weeks — and Sophie still needs major dental surgery for abscessed teeth and an oral infection. I’m also caring for two more indoor rescues, and trying to find homes for a sweet mama cat (Shiva, who’s now in my home), and three of her kittens still living outdoors.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, our local rescue agencies — FOAC (Friends of the Animal Community) and Sonora Cat Rescue — are completely tapped out and overwhelmed. They’ve done so much for this community, but right now, they simply can’t take on more. That means it’s up to us — the individuals in the community who care — to step in.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve poured everything I have into helping these innocent animals. Being the caregiver that I am by nature, it’s very difficult for me to ask for help but I am tapped out financially… (my credit card is nearing its limit) and emotionally. I know many people care deeply about animals but don’t have the time, space, or means to help directly. That’s where you come in.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re moved by this work, please consider a one-time or monthly donation in any amount. Your support will go toward food, medical care, transportation, and spay/neuter efforts for the most vulnerable cats in our area.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>❤️This is your chance to help — and I’ll do the hard work on your behalf.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of my heart… And on behalf of Sophie, Mimi, Shiva, and all the others who can’t speak for themselves
</div>

<div>2) of Mimi— the little grey one who can’t walk—, 3) one of her littermates—-the little tux who is feral and still needs a home along with her two other siblings about 3 1/2 months old, and
</div>
<div>4) of their mother, Shiva)
