Hello all,
I just received the following from one of the Project MEOW volunteers. Is there anyone out there who would be able to either (or both) foster four feral kittens or provide space for the recovery of a just-spayed feral mom?? fyi, "Recovery" is the process of holding a trapped and just neutered/spayed feral cat for a few days (indoors, in a spare room, garage or basement) until it is well enough to be released back into its territory. It involves feeding and regularly changing the paper in the trap. The cat stays in the trap (or a cage, if one is available) during the recovery. fyi, the adult ferals have already been treated for fleas and have their vaccines for distemper and rabies. A MEOW volunteer can take you through the steps. The kittens will have been treated for fleas, but are not yet old enough for vaccines.
As you may know, Project MEOW's primary mission is to reduce the number of feral cats on our streets in West Philly via TNR (trap, neuter, release). Kittens that are found/trapped in the process of TNR, if young enough, are fostered and socialized for adoption. MEOW is a non-profit organization, run by very dedicated volunteers, and are always in need of new volunteers (as well as donations, of course!).
If you have questions or can help out please drop me a line and I'll get you in touch with Katy.
Many thanks! linda Begin forwarded message:

We are all tapped out on foster homes -- completely -- as well as recovery space, for that matter. Also, do you know anyone who might be interested in helping with our biggest problem right now, recovery space? Our two biggest recoverers are out of commission right now, and it's starting to limit Project MEOW's trapping capabilities. Thanks so much! Katy
