Ok, so more the spirit of #GivingTuesday Carl and Billie Bean live in separate households, four or five blocks apart here in Manchester on Pittsburgh’s Northside. They are both cats, both female, and both went missing from their homes. We jumped into action when we learned about Carl, lending a heated bed, a trail camera, […]
The good news is that while both are sick, both are okay and stable. The bill was $996.79. Oksana has stomatitis and will need a dental. But he tested clear of FIV and FeLV so that’s great. His vitals are good, we confirmed (finally) that he’s male, and scheduled his dental for Monday, December 22. […]
It has been quite a week. Our little colony of Fort Faulsey has five resident cats: Pretty Girl, Tony DiMera, Mx. Pajamas, Callie, and Oksana. I’ve ben caring for them since December 2020. All have been (or were) TNRd. They have a pretty good life – heated shelters, heated water bowl, decent food, clean water, […]
I held Charlotte in my arms yesterday as she was euthanized because of a massive tumor in her chest. For the past thee years, she’s lived in the Mexican War Streets, being fed by a 75 year old caretaker with a fixed income. Charlotte was trapped, spayed, and released.

A large SUV can accommodate up to six. Here’s the […]
Only four days into NaBloPoMo and I’m scrambling to get a post up in the next 51 minutes. Democrats won every single election. I’m sure the analysis will feed news stories for days to come. While it is much needed good news, it still is like the bare minimum to navigate the terror in the […]
Registered households increased by 16% in four days Late last week, we posted about our commitment to support pet owners who have/will lose their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP benefits in November due to the Republicans shutting down the Federal Government. Mind you, the program is structured so it is funded, but Republicans resist […]
The ugly decision to target our vulnerable neighbors by halting SNAP benefits disgusts all of us. The Dr. John P. Ruffing VMD Pet Food Pantry is responding two ways Pet food is not covered by SNAP. But the cutoff means families will need to use more of their available financial resources for food, prioritizing the […]
I’m trying in my own fumbling way to create content. Today, I made a longish video (5 minutes) touring the winter preparations for our cat colonies. I’m actually pleased with how most of it turned out. I have yet to master the art of clipping video and fusing new segments. View this post on Instagram […]
