Feline Urgent Rescue & Rehabilitation

This is Miss Betty, shown here with Miss Friendly, and these are Miss Betty’s cats…

Betty has been caring for these kitties for long time. She is just as sweet as she can be, and she loves every one of her cats. Many of them even have names. Some of the cats are quite feral, but most fall into the semi-feral category and will get close, but not too close. That is except for Miss Friendly!

However, when Betty comes out to feed them they all come running for their share!

Terry first learned about Betty’s cats when she was contacted by Rhonda Price after Rhonda learned about them from her pet sitter, Krista, who is Betty’s neighbor. Of course as soon as Terry checked out the situation the spaying and neutering began almost immediately. Rhonda chipped in to pay for the spay/neuters and Krista helped with the trapping, transporting and caring for the sick kitties. Many of the cats were sick with upper respiratory illness, and unfortunately 4 adults and all 8 of the kittens tested positive for either FeLV or FIV and had to be euthanized. This was very distressing for Terry, and Miss Betty was in tears. There are still a few cats that need to be altered, such as William (shown below), but as of October 21st about 20 of the cats had been altered. October 21st is when Terry, Krista, Susan and Mari transported 10 of the cats to the Gaston Low Cost Spay Neuter Clinic to be fixed, and we’d like to thank Susan for generously offering to come along in her van to help transport cats.  We had just met Susan the previous Saturday at Petsmart!

Terry estimates that there could be 5-10 more cats that need to be trapped and neutered.
