Dexter the cat
I have two feeding stations for "feral" cats. It is meant for my commmunity cats who are all TNR'ed (trap neuter returned). But of course, once in a while, other cats will find their way to my feeding stations. When that happens I will try and figure out who they are and help them. In…
New Year New Cats
It seems cats have a radar that helps them find other cats. So when you have a whole colony of cats, others will inevitably find their way. On the first year of a new decade, not one but four big kittens found my feeding station. My Cat Colony I caught, neutered and returned my first…
Missing Little Poul
Little Poul was the first cat I ever TNR'ed and the begining of a huge work with the community cats in the area. She was somewhat feral but trusted me enough to be close to me most days. This little cat came would sit and wait in a tree for me almost every night to…
Cat Bowls
Pet food bowls. Maybe not the most exiting subject, I'll admit. We talk a lot about nutrition for cats (which is indeed an important subject!), but it also matters what you serve that food in. It matters to the cat and it might also matter to your situation. As a colony cat caretaker I have…
Cats and Hogs
I feed a bunch of TNR cats who has their own feeding station. I sometimes put up a trailcam at night to see who comes and goes. Last summer we got company by a few hedgehogs. They eventually had hoglets too! Read more abou cats and hedhogs sharing a feeding station here. Helping the hogs…
Captain Nixon
He was sitting right in the middle of a trailcam recording and yet I didn't notice him. He was eating amongst the other cats and I thought it was my regular tuxedo cat Maito. But in fact a new tuxedo cat had arrived at my feeding station in April. He was sitting in "The Clubhouse"…
Norma the nomad
Norma showed up at my feeding station in November 2018. It was obvious even from a distance that she was sporting a big belly. But it wasn't exactly kitten season, so it was very odd. She came to the feeding station both day and night and I often saw her run off in the afternoon…
Timmo gets TNR’ed
I usually get to observe the cats for a while before I TNR them. Usually it takes me a month or more to catch a cat. But this guy came out of the blue and walked straight into a trap intended for somebody else. In early March I was trying to catch one of my…
Sally
I had to shed a tear of happiness on the day I caught Sally. I had been trying to catch her for 10 months and "the hunt" was finally over. Here's Sally's story. I saw Sally for the first time at the end of May 2018. She was clearly pregnant and wobbled around with a…
Loosing Little Poul
A week ago I was in mourning. I thought I lost my beloved Little Poul. She was my first TNR (trap-neuter-return) who'm I've been feeding daily since 2016. She is not tame and I cannot touch her, but she is the TNR I have the closest relationship with. While most of my TNR's live as…
