Visited Jogashima today and was pleasantly surprised by all the well cared for, TNR and slightly tubby stray cats running around. The views were also beautiful, but the cats were the highlight.

there is a special place in hell for cat owners who allow their cats to free-roam a residential neighborhood because it's ~natural~.

The amount of devastation and heartbreak I have seen from loved ones whose cats accidentally got out makes me like twice as mad too because I cannot. I cannot fathom the cruelty and selfishness required to ignore what we know to be best practice for cat husbandry because your feefees get uncomfies when people tell you it's animal abuse to wilfully, knowingly cut your cat's expected lifespan from 15-20 years to 2-3.

KEEP. YOUR. FUCKING. CATS. INSIDE.

Domestic Cat Felis catus

2/16/2023 Disney's California Adventure Park, California

One of the more well-known Disney cats, because she can frequently be seen hanging out near Grizzly River Run and being admired by parkgoers. Her name is Francisco! The Disneyland Resort actively encourages these feral cats to hang around, as they help with rodent control, but will remove any that become aggressive towards people.

Anyone who knows me knows I'm a big fan of both complex antagonists and cults, so it was really only a matter of time before I drew @clangenrising 's Razor. He's a very chilling character and so much fun to read! Here he is with Scorchplume, one of the story's primary characters.

Last week I TNRed this very sweet void, and now she is available for adoption at the Austin Humane Society!

She is newly spayed, chipped, and vaccinated. Approximately 1 year old and about 9 pounds, sleek and solid. She's a little nervous at first but once you sit down and start petting her, she will love you. She even started grabbing my hand with her front paws and pulling it to her face to nuzzle. Please give her and the other AHS cattes a visit if you are looking for a kitty, and remember to please please please FIX YOUR CATS!!!

Alley Cat Allies Helps Granite Shoals Adopt Lifesaving Trap-Neuter-Return Ordinance

This week, Granite Shoals, Texas, approved an update to its animal ordinance with heavy input from Alley Cat Allies that protects Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and community cats throughout the city. This victory is the result of months of our guidance and hard work with the Granite Shoals community, sparked by horrific comments about killing the city’s cats in late 2023.

Now the groundwork is laid for a strong TNR program, and the city is enthusiastic to get started. Alley Cat Allies will continue to offer our expertise and support for TNR and help Granite Shoals become a model for Texas communities.

In December 2023, audio from a meeting of the city’s Wildlife Advisory Committee revealed a disturbing discussion, with the former City Manager present, about “mass euthanasia” and shooting and poisoning of community cats.

The audio included these disturbing quotes: “Poison food, could you somehow round them up in a mass cage or something,” “I would be in favor of euthanizing and euthanizing as many as quickly as possible,” “The only authorized legal process for euthanizing is a 22 round in the back of the head. We have a location on this property that’s called Deer Heaven that I’m sure could be kitty cat Heaven, too…”

Alley Cat Allies immediately sent a letter to the Granite Shoals City Council condemning the comments and offering our support in establishing a TNR program. In doing so, we stood in solidarity with the Granite Shoals Police Department, the Hill Country Humane Society, and the people of Granite Shoals—all of whom shared our outrage.

We attended several Granite Shoals City Council meetings in the following months, helping the city shape the future of its approach to community cats. Alley Cat Allies provided extensive improvements to Granite Shoals’ animal control ordinance, all geared toward creating protections for community cats, legalizing TNR, and defending community cat caregivers.

This incredible step forward is a testament to the compassion the Granite Shoals community has for its cats and its commitment to positive, lifesaving programs that benefit cats and the city as a whole. Granite Shoals’ new ordinance can serve as a blueprint for surrounding communities, setting a standard for the humane treatment of community cats.

We’ll continue to work with Granite Shoals to get its TNR program running smoothly and keep our supporters updated.

And Now, A Ghost Story 2

"I'm just saying you really can’t be mad if you leave a bunch of traps around Crime Alley without explanation and find them smashed. Nobody here would know they’re live traps for a TNR program,” Red Hood tried again, exasperated, to explain to the Robin before him. “Which is why I’m here,” Robin stated, also agitated at this back and forth that seemed to only repeat itself. “I even turned off my coms to speak in private. If your territory knew the Red Hood approved of the shelter’s program, they might even help bring in feral cats to be neutered, thus helping reduce the feral cat population.” “The one that everyone knows gets a hefty sum of donations from the Waynes and has one of Bruce’s son’s volunteering there? Yeah, sorry. As soon as a billionaire’s name’s attached, it’s impossible to get people to trust around here.” “There’s no closer shelter, though! Again, if YOU would advocate for the program-” “Hang on,” Red Hood interrupted, activating his own coms. “Got something coming into my line.” “If you think you can get out of this conversation, Red Hood-” “I said quiet!” Red Hood shouted, ignoring how Robin grabbed the hilt of his katana. “Not you,” he stated into the mic of his helmet, putting a hand on his holster in retaliation to the demon brat’s threat. “What is it?” “Got a situation, boss,” said one of his men. Glen, from the voice. “Saw a kid in an alley here. Not a local. He was sleeping in an alley in torn clothes, covered in wounds. You might wanna help find out about him.” “Why are you telling me instead of taking him to a doctor?” Red Hood asked. Yes, he cared for kids, but his men should know what to do if they saw an abused runaway on the streets. “Cause he disappeared!” “A kid gave you the slip?” “No! I mean, I tried to talk with him. I spooked him, and then he literally disappeared before my eyes! He’s some sort of meta, and you know how the Bat is about metas. Figured you’d want to investigate before he finds out.” “Yeah, that’s good info. Give me the last place you saw the kid. I’ll be right there.” “What’s happening?” Robin asked. “Got a hurt out-of-town runaway. Probable meta. I’ll get back to this lovely discussion later. I have actual thing to do.” “I’m coming with you.” “You’re not,” Hood huffed. “You stated he evaded your lackey,” Robin said. “That means this is someone difficult to track down, correct? You need my help.” “And this is entirely without any tit for tat?” “I think I won’t mind you owing me a favor if I aid you in aiding this child.” “Not very Robin of you.” “Tch. Fine. I would aid you regardless, but I also hope you’ll reconsider the TNR program.” “....Sure.” Red Hood unholstered his grapple. “Follow me.”

I just walked a mile and a half and I am wore the fuck out. My legs hurt, my feet hurt, and that place where my thighs rub together? That hurts, because I wasn’t thinking and wore a dress. Come on B vitamins, work your magic!

The big drama at home is that Soba and Momo saw a KITTEN this morning; a little black and white spotted kitten about half the size of Soba (so, 4-6 months?). Soba was very interested. Not sure if he wanted to play with the kitten or kick its ass.

I think it’s one of the neighborhood tuxedo cat’s offspring. I kinda think Soba is Tuxedo’s son, too. Tuxedo doesn’t belong to anyone and doesn’t let anyone get close. I’d love to TNR Tuxedo and the kitten (Ramen? lol), because as much as I love kittens, a feral colony in this neighborhood (heavy traffic, foxes, coyotes, hawks) is no place for them.

(Got distracted looking up TNR info; looks easy enough but it costs money that I don’t have yet)

Anyway, I’m still recovering from my walk, which seems off. I’ll track symptoms like always and ask my primary care doctor if this continues.

Our darling Penny has ✨finally✨ found a home, leaving just this sweet little doofus up for adoption. 09/27 will be a full year of trying to find his forever home. 😞 He’s such a sweet boy. Please keep sharing him, especially if you haven’t before. His family is out there, we just haven’t reached them yet!

Located in Leesburg, FL

In case anyone is curious what I've been up to lately, here are pictures of some of the cats I have rescued from a property about fifteen miles from my house that is under active demolition. Most of these cats are feral and were adopted as barn cats. Because their home was demolished and the previous residents who cared for them evicted, they could not be returned to this property.
