Posted by SusanStokes on October 16, 2014


On this National Feral Cat Day, let’s thank all those who take on the task of trap-neuter-return. It becomes a never ending cycle for those who choose this path to save homeless cats and help reduce the feral cat population. Sometimes rescued feral kittens are even deemed adoptable into homes, but this was not the case for Junior, a sickly kitten later diagnosed by UC Davis with a life-threatening Portosystemic Shunt, otherwise known as a liver shunt.
