The historic floods in Evans, Colo., last September displaced many cats and kittens, with some ending up in areas where they were in danger. Thanks to your critical support, Alley Cat Allies was able to send aid to local organizations that rescued displaced cats and provided food and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) for outdoor cats who found themselves without their caregivers. We provided funding for medical care, spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, food, and supplies for rebuilding feeding stations and shelters.
Because of our support, local group Pure Hearts Rescue was able to rescue displaced cats including a five-month-old kitten they named Polka Dot. Polka Dot wandered into a mobile home park after the flood. When Pure Hearts Rescue heard about a resident’s cruel plan to kill Polka Dot, they went to find the kitten. They found a makeshift animal carrier stuffed with trash, with Polka Dot crouching in the back.
Polka Dot.
“It wasn’t until she meowed that we saw her eyes,” said Rose Carroll with Pure Hearts. “She was crammed in with trash, locked in, and was going to be sent to the trash truck.”
Pure Hearts got Polka Dot spayed, and she is now in a foster home with other cats with whom she likes to play.
In addition to financial support, we sent rescue organizations 48 traps, which not only served the displaced cats, but will also enable the groups to continue and increase TNR into the future. We also helped local groups form partnerships that will benefit cats for years to come. We couldn’t have done this without donors like you. Thank you!
