A not so mini, "mini clinic"

While many of us were preparing for this weekend’s ice storm and frigid temperatures , one of our team members was out last night trapping a BIG colony of community cats.

The need for TNVR (Trap–Neuter–Vaccinate–Return) never stops—even in winter!

So just how big is this colony?

28 cats… and COUNTING!

And a project of this size doesn’t happen without an incredible team behind it. A huge shoutout to our amazing TNVR advocate Barb Jones for putting this together—handling trapping, transporting, after-surgery care, and everything else that goes into coordinating a large TNVR project like this. We’re also incredibly grateful to Dr. Marty Poffenberger and the crew at Pamlico Animal Hospital for offering this large spay/neuter opportunity, and to the Humane Society of Beaufort County, NC for partnering with us on such a large project.

Thanks to these “mini” spay/neuter clinics, we’re able to take on some of the larger colonies in our area. When we’re able to trap all the cats from one location at the same time, it means we don’t have to return—unless a new cat shows up. And let us tell you, there’s nothing quite like stamping a location “DONE” and checking it off the list!

Of course, TNVR does come with a cost. A colony this size can range from $3,000 (if all males) to $5,000+ (if all females). Every dollar raised directly impacts how many cats we can help and how quickly we can respond to the next urgent situation. If we’re going to keep preventing suffering and stopping the cycle before it starts, we truly need your support.

So if you believe in TNVR and want to see it continue, please consider making a donation. Every cat in our TNVR program receives:

• Rabies & FVRCP vaccines
• Spay/neuter surgery
• Flea & tick prevention
• Treatment for illness as needed

And no matter the amount, every little bit makes a big difference.
