HAPPY TAILS!

A Second Chance for Campground Cats! A big thank you to our wonderful community for helping make a difference in the lives of homeless pets! Your donations, shopping, and support helped provide a grant to @communitycatsupportcoalition to help them begin a comprehensive TNR effort at the campground shown in the photos. The funding helped provide much-needed spay/neuter services and begin stabilizing a colony that had been reproducing with little intervention. Keep reading for more about their organization and intervention at the campground 💚🐾 _____________ Community Cat Support Coalition (CCSC) is a team of cat loving volunteers working to help every cat have the best quality of life possible by providing outreach to their community through: trap/neuter/release education, trap lending services, trap/neuter/vaccinate/release, and cat food pantry for community cat caretakers. Spay/neuter programs like theirs are so important to stopping the cycle of pet overpopulation. When CCSC learned about more than 100 community cats living in terrible conditions at a local campground, they knew they had to help. The cats had little to no consistent food or care, and there were reports of cats being shot, poisoned, trapped, and dumped elsewhere. Even their volunteers faced harassment while trying to trap the cats, but they kept showing up because the cats needed them. More than 30 kittens have since been taken into rescue, giving them the chance to grow up safe and find loving homes. For the adult cats, TNR offers a different kind of second chance by preventing more litters and helping create a safer, more stable colony. “Second Life Atlanta gave us the opportunity to say yes to these cats when their circumstances were especially difficult. Because of that support, more than 30 kittens have already left the campground for rescue, and dozens of adult cats have begun their journey toward a safer, more stable life.”- Community Cat Support Coalition. Thank you CCSC for the incredible work you do on the front lines of animal rescue and prevention, and for sharing this Happy Tail! 💞 #MissionMonday #15YearsOfBargainsAndBellyRubs
