 Meet Sasha!

Sasha's TNR was sponsored by Sheri Harrison.

Sasha is a tabico female, and was estimated at 1 year old. She was healthy, and had no concerns from the vet. She is a shy and quiet girl, but would let us pet her through the trap. She is regularly seen hanging out at her caretaker's house, and loves to sun herself. She kind of keeps to herself, so we don't know a whole lot about her, but we do know she sure is beautiful!

Thank you Sheri, from Sasha and all of us at GCCC!  

 Meet Fluffy!

Fluffy's TNR was sponsored by Pam Tooley, who has also been his caretaker.

Fluffy is a male, and was estimated at 2-3 years old.

Here's what Pam had to say about this big guy:
"This is Fluffy. He’s been around my neighborhood for the past six months, making himself right at home. He’s a bit shy and doesn’t like people getting too close. He’ll flop down on the ground, hoping for a pet, but he won’t let anyone touch him. I can peek at him through the window, and he’ll meow or hiss at me. He’s so gorgeous and fluffy!"

While handling Fluffy, we decided that he won the award for the most spicy cat of the year. He was a big, handsome boy, but he is definitely very feral. We couldn't even get near his trap without him growling, spitting, and hissing at us. When we work with the feral cats, we use a tool called a trap divider. It keeps the cats safe, and us safe too, while we give them clean papers and food/water. This guy was so feisty that we managed to get his food and water in there without losing any fingers, but we were not able to give him new paper. He didn't mind, and preferred if we just left him alone anyway!
In a way, these are the fun ones that keep us on our toes!

Thank you Pam, from Fluffy and all of us at GCCC! 

  Meet Binx!

Binx had his TNR sponsored by Carol Ellis.

Binx is a wild boy, and would try to escape any time we handled the trap. You can see in his picture that he trusts nobody and was formulating a plan when we took his picture! We think it's great, because that means he will stay safer out there on the streets.

Thank you Carol, from Binx and all of us at GCCC! 

 Meet Jasper!

Jasper's TNR was sponsored by Heather Gibson.

This little fella is a male, estimated at 9 weeks old, and had no health concerns from the vet.

While fluffy and cute, this little guy is a spicy floof. He was probably the most wild kitten out of the whole group! He made multiple escape attempts, and took a swipe at one of our volunteers. We love his feisty spirit and know it will serve him well out on his own. His caretaker told us that they have tried to tame him down, but after being bitten they decided to just let him do his own thing.

Thank you Heather, from Jasper and all of us at GCCC! 

 Meet Pepper!

Pepper's TNR was sponsored by Linda Blum.

This kitten is a dilute tortie female, estimated at 5 months old, with no health concerns from the vet.

She is a feisty little thing, and was pacing in her trap like a caged tiger! She is actually very friendly, and loves to eat. She is the one who was growling while she was eating. She had several servings of dinner after coming back from the vet, and we are not sure she would ever stop eating if there was still food in front of her! She's sweet and her caretaker's grandson loves to play with her.

Thank you Linda, from Pepper and all of us at GCCC! 

 Meet Abbi!

Abbi's TNR was sponsored by Kendra Ritchie.

This little baby is a female, and believed to be around 9 weeks old. She was healthy and had no concerns from the vet.

This sweet little girl is ultra adorable! She has tiny little legs, and we think she may be part Munchkin (a breed of cat). She's not only adorable, but she is sweet and friendly, too. Her caretaker's grandson regularly picks her up and plays with her, and you can tell she just absolutely loves the attention. She was talking to us and purring the entire time we had her.

Thank you Kendra, from Abbi and all of us at GCCC! 

 Meet Teddy!

Teddy's TNR was sponsored by Sheri Harrison.

Teddy is a black and white male, and is around 1-2 years old, and had no concerns from the vet. He's a plump guy with loads of expression in his eyes and face. He really likes to eat and was even trying to steal his neighbor's food through the trap. He was really super friendly and talkative. Multiple times he would reach his little foot through the trap so we could pet him. He is quite the character!

Thank you Sheri, from Teddy and all of us at GCCC! 

Meet Yoda!

Yoda's TNR was sponsored by Kendra Ritchie.

He is a unique colored male, with very pretty blue eyes. He was estimated at 1 year old, and had no health concerns from the vet. 

This guy is tall and slender, and has a very calm and quiet demeanor. He is a little shy, but also curious and watches everything we are doing. He will let his caretaker handle him, but he's still a little too leery of strangers for us to sneak in some pets. 

Thank you Kendra, from Yoda and all of us at GCCC!

 Meet Winter!
Winter's TNR was sponsored by Pam Riehl.

Winter is a female, estimated at 5-6 months old, and she had no medical concerns from the vet.
She was a handful, and was super feral, as were her litter mates and mother. She at one point even hung from the top of her trap, and had several escape attempts while we tried to give her fresh water and food. Because she is so feral, we don't know a whole lot about her personality, but we can say for certain that she has fantastic survival instincts! Her caretaker said she can ALMOST touch her nose, but she is not a fan of human interaction.
She is a super pretty blue point with crystal blue eyes. Her picture really does no justice to how pretty she actually is.

Thank you Pam, from Winter and all of us at GCCC! 

  Meet Chester!
Chester's TNR was sponsored by Sheri Harrison.

He is a black and white male, believed to be around 2 years old. He did not have any health concerns from the vet.
Surprisingly for a long haired feral cat, he keeps himself very well groomed, and is super handsome. He is very VERY feral, and even his caretaker does not know much about him because he doesn't hang around much, except to eat. He was pretty timid in the trap, and tried to hide under his newspaper. We made sure he stayed covered up so he felt safer, and did our best to keep him as comfortable as possible.

Thank you Sheri, from Chester and all of us at GCCC! 

 Meet Taco!

Taco's TNR was sponsored by Keith and Yvonne Brillhart!

Taco is the very last cat that needed to be spayed to complete the TNR of a VERY big colony! Taco is sweet and friendly, and was very talkative throughout the TNR process. Although she is 4-5 months, this sweet girl is teeny tiny, which is why we had to wait such a long time to get her taken in for her appointment. She is estimated to be 4-5 months old, and had no health concerns from the vet.

It's always a great feeling to know you have fixed an entire colony! And this little girl's TNR is the one that will completely end the cycle of reproduction for her group.

Thank you Keith and Yvonne, from Taco and all of us at GCCC!  

 Meet Taz!

Taz had his TNR sponsored by Sheri Harrison.

Taz is a unique flame point boy. He was estimated at 6 months old, and had no health concerns from the vet.
His "flame" point color is very fitting, as he was a fiery little guy! He was growly with us when we tried to give him his dinner and when we had to move his trap. His mama is pretty feisty too, so he must have learned from her! We know that his tenacity towards survival is going to serve him well in his future as a feral cat.

Thank you Sheri, from Taz and all of us at GCCC!  

 Meet Calamity Jane!
Calamity's TNR was sponsored by Jill Freeman.

She is a female, estimated to be 4 years old (pretty old for a feral), and had no health concerns from the vet.

This girl is the matriarch of a her colony, and has already produced 4 litters of kittens in a little over a year's time. Not only does she reproduce rapidly, but she had very big litters. In just the most recent (and final) litter she had, she raised 7 kittens. Average litters are 3-4 babies. Those kittens have gone on to have kittens, and rapidly created an overpopulation issue. Catching this girl and getting her fixed is a HUGE win for our community.

As for her temperament, she is wild as can be. She wanted nothing to do with us, and she won't let her caretaker near her at all. She is one of those that enjoys her wild life, and we are so happy that she can now enjoy it without the worry of keeping babies safe and fed.

Thank you Jill, from Calamity and all of us at GCCC!  

 Meet Sophie!
Sophie's TNR was sponsored by Linda Blum.

Sophie is a female, tuxedo pattern, and was estimated at 11 weeks old. In addition to her spay, she was given an antibiotic, because she seemed to be battling a respiratory infection. She should be on the mend now!

This little girl was super sweet. She mostly hangs out on the porch at her caretaker's and waits for the presence of people. She let us hold her and pet her, and purred the entire time. She loves to eat, that's for sure, and she really loves to snuggle. She was quiet as a mouse throughout the entire TNR process, and was really a joy to have with us for a couple days!

Thank you Linda, from Sophie and all of us at GCCC!  

 Meet Aurora!
Aurora's TNR was sponsored by Sheri Harrison.

Aurora is an adorable little black female. She was estimated at 8 weeks old, and just barely made the cut to be big enough to get fixed. She had no medical concerns from the vet.

She is a sweet little girl, and we thought it was interesting that she was born with only half a tail! It gives her so much character. This kitten is a product of a mother cat that was abandoned at Walmart. Her mother is friendly, and decided to bring her babies to the caretaker's house instead of raising them at Walmart. Because of this, this little kitten has been socialized since she was little and is very friendly as well!

Thank you Sheri, from Aurora and all of us at GCCC! 

 Meet Mae!

Mae's TNR was sponsored by Kim Brickner.

Mae is a female, estimated at 4-5 years old, which is getting up there for a feral cat! She had no major medical concerns from the vet, but this girl was very underweight. Hopefully now that she's not raising litter after litter of kittens, her body can recover and get healthy again!

This girl is fairly friendly with her caretakers, who recently bought a house that came with a colony of cats who had been fed there. We are so grateful that the new homeowners decided to get this colony some help, and start getting their numbers under control.
Although she will allow people to pet her briefly, she does not want to be handled much. Her caretaker said she was a wonderful mother, which heavily contributed to the overpopulation, because she raised nearly all of her kittens without losing any of them. Luckily for this girl, she can now enjoy her retirement, and work on getting healthy again. We can't wait to see her in a few months!

Thank you Kim, from Mae and all of us at GCCC! 

 Meet Goldie!

Goldie's TNR was sponsored by Susanne Howard!

Goldie is a female, estimated at 6 months old, and she had no health concerns from the vet.

This little lady is feral as feral gets! She happily eats the food that her caretaker provides, but she does not get anywhere near humans, and will actually run and hide if she even sees a person. Throughout the TNR process, she was grumbly with us, and stayed in the back of her trap, but we know that temperament is what keeps her alive on the streets.
She lives in a colony with her mother and 2 sisters. Luckily all of them have been caught, and TNR'D, preventing a kitten explosion amongst their colony! It's hard to believe that at 6 months old, she soon would have been raising her own kittens. Luckily for her, she gets to live just being a cat for the rest of her days!

Thank you Susanne, from Goldie and all of us at GCCC! 

 Meet Mango!
Mango's TNR was sponsored by Sheri Harrison.

Mango is an orange female (somewhat rare), around 6 months old. She had no medical concerns from the vet.

She was very much on the wild side, and was growly with us throughout the entire process. Holding onto her trap was like trying to hang onto a tumbling washing machine. She wanted OUT!
She has never been able to be handled by her caretaker, and runs away at the sight of humans.
We did think it was funny, that she had made herself a bed on a covered rocking chair on her caretaker's porch, and when we would show up, the chair would be slightly rocking (we knew she was in there but she thought she was pretty sly)!
Now she can spend her retirement, quite literally, in a rocking chair on the front porch!

Thank you Sheri, from Mango and all of us at GCCC! 

 Meet Pepper!
Pepper's TNR was sponsored by Lisa Fair.

Pepper is a female, estimated at 8 weeks old, and weighed 2.2 lbs.

She is a spicy little fluff ball, and her small size doesn't stop her from whooping up on her brothers. She is scrappy, and gives her siblings a run for their money, both in wrestling and speed.

Thank you Lisa, from Pepper and all of us at GCCC!
