National Feral Cat Day

For many years Mom fed and provided shelter to the feral cats that hung around her office building.









This little trio of kittens were rescued by Mom and her boss in 2003 in the back lot of the office. The little gray one ended up being our cousin, Gizmo(RIP), who lived with Mom's sister.

Gizmo preferred Christmas trees to outside trees after his rescue.


These are just a few of the many ferals that hung around or visited over the years. The building was sold the summer of 2009 so the ferals have gone elsewhere. Mom drives down that street often and still looks for her buddies but has never seen one. 

National Feral Cat Day was launched in 2001 by Alley Cat Allies, the national advocate for feral and stray cats and a recognized authority on Trap‐Neuter‐Return. Check out their site for information on lots of ways you can help feral cats!

  4. We are all formerly feral here at The Lounge. Humans need to get us spayed and neutered.
    Our feral guy Henry really likes his new Hut, and of course his dinner!

  5. I bet your human was sad to leave all those kitties behind - and I bet they missed her lots too!
