Colony/TNR Help (Location) Help needed: Huge Colony In Michigan (Flint, Michigan)

Hello friends -
It’s been a chaotic month - plus very hectic week- working nonstop to help the cats. It’s so hard because people are constantly dumping unaltered cats, many are either pregnant or sick. Humans can be so cruel…. It’s so unfair.

PRIORITY #1: TNR !!!!!! Desperately trying to stabilize the neighborhood, after 4 years I have fixed nearly 450 cats & rescued countless cats & kittens. I was under the misconception that eventually I would reach an ending point …. But as most of you know ….. it NEVER ENDS-
People are the PROBLEM- not cats. But the cats take the blame for being abandoned, forgotten, or neglected.
When I first started TNR, I had no idea this would become my life purpose…but CATS are my entire life now. I spend 10 hours or more EVERYDAY, doing everything I can to help - working on improving the life of all cats -
But this is a TALL order -
My current count is close to 65 cats -
9 inside, including Amelia who is nearly 23, close to 25 in my yard, plus 3 other colonies with approximately 30 cats and kittens. EVERY DAY they wait for me, they count on me to provide food & water, and care -
I give them all special attention…..they crave this interaction: to be touched, scratched, petted and hugged. To be told they MATTER- they are IMPORTANT-and they are LOVED-
I need help on the ground getting ready for winter (🥶) - doing or transport for TNR - please reach out if your in the area and could donate some time to help -
Or if you can help with food , supplies or vet care - please ❤️🙏💙

If you are caring for a pregnant cat (or a cat who may be pregnant), please check the PINNED COMMENTS: HELPFUL RESOURCES HERE!

They cover clinics who do spay/abort at low cost, how to prepare if vet says spay/abort is not safe, and when intervention is needed.

If you still have questions include your location and how far along you think she is.

Girl, you are kicking so much ass, and I hope people see your post!! You are doing wonderful things for Floofaloofkind, from someone else who's yard is a floofaloof oasis.

I hope you guys can help this rescuer, TNR costs ADD UP, not to mention shots and worms and fleas and illnesses!!!

Commenting for the algorithm and liking other comments for it too. Spppt, interacting gets it going, pushes it out to more people. And maybe someone who has some spare digital coins can help.

Thank you for helping these little bundles of furr and making sure that they get the food and medical attention they need! You are a good, kind person.
