Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the only humane and effective method of decreasing the overpopulation of feral cats. During TNR we trap and transport community cats to a veterinary clinic where they are spay/neutered, vaccinated for rabies, and ear tipped (the universal sign a community cat has been altered). Once recovered from surgery the cats are returned to their colony where their caretaker continues to provide food, water, and shelter for the remainder of the cat's lives.

August, 2019 we borrowed a live trap and rescued a 12 week old kitten born outside to a feral cat, she was the only survivor of her litter. We named her Starlit. It was then we realized the large number of feral cats struggling to survive in our rural Missouri town. We wanted to get involved with helping them and quickly learned that the best way to improve their lives is through TNR! This breaks the cycle of kittens being born, sickness, and death. We officially became a 501(c)3 in September, 2020.

We caretake for multiple colonies in St. James and Rolla. We feed, water, provide shelter from the elements and predators, and medical attention when needed for 60+ fixed feral cats daily.

In addition to TNR and colony caretaking, we have socialized countless feral kittens, and network with licensed rescues to find them the forever homes they deserve. While not always possible, we are very passionate about socializing and not leaving young kittens or abandoned friendly cats living in feral colonies.
