19th Ward Community Cats was hard at work in 2015!!! In 2015, we were able to spay/neuter 287 free roaming cats in the 19th Ward as part of the City Kitty project. They were also vaccinated, and treated for fleas, worms, and parasites. That's 287 outdoor cats who've received vet care and will no longer be reproducing on our streets or be vulnerable to disease! Approximately 80 of those cats/kittens were placed for adoption with our City Kitty partner, Four-Legged Friends Animal Adoptions, Inc., and they're now in loving forever homes- off the streets entirely! Members of this group and colony caretakers volunteer their time and bear the financial burden for much of this work. If you'd like make a financial contribution to this group please take or mail your donation to the 19th Ward Community Association Office, 216 Thurston Road. Every dollar is spent on vet care for our community cats. If you'd like to help in any other way, please let us know! Thank you!!

Comment by Inge Mallory on November 5, 2009 at 8:12pm: Yes, Sammy is tipped and he is very friendly. He would throw himself at my feet to be petted when I came to feed him & his 2 companions. Sammy's back is all orange but he has some white on his belly. He had an abcess at the base of his tale on the right that was almost completely healed the last time I saw him.

Comment by Laura Burns on November 5, 2009 at 7:59pm: Hi Inge,
Is Sammy ear-tipped, and friendly? thanks

Comment by Inge Mallory on November 5, 2009 at 7:53pm: The orange cat could be my missing Sammy. He's been gone from my feral group on Dunbar St since early September. Unfortunately I do not have a picture of him and I don't know if it was him if he would remember me. Any suggestions?

Comment by Laura Burns on November 5, 2009 at 10:36am: Apologies, I realized I was posting in Margy's Album...
I am concerned that this cat will be euthanized.
RAS is looking for help with their adoptables.

Comment by Laura Burns on November 5, 2009 at 10:26am: URGENT! Eartipped cat at Rochester Animal Services!
There is an orange male, ear-tipped, very friendly, who was trapped by the resident of 63 Shelter St, and handed over to RAS around October 29. Anyone know who his caretaker is? Please call Rochester Animal Services - he's in Cat Room 29, CR number 09-346936.

Does anyone have known colony locations, for this area?

Comment by Laura Burns on October 27, 2009 at 4:54pm: I have Judy's address, we work together - she schedules the clinics, and I handle admissions at the clinics. I'm not sure how to email it to you privately...?

Comment by Heidi on October 27, 2009 at 3:35pm: I just spoke with Judy Neumann, who was calling me with regard to my email to Laraine about spaying a recent (but socialized) rescue cat. While Judy said HFC wouldn't really be able to help me since the "adoption" of this cat was private, I did have the chance to tell her about what we're doing in the 19th Ward and she asked to be kept informed. (Sheri, I guess she knows you personally?) Didn't think fast enough to ask her for her email or mailing address but perhaps through HFC ... ?

Comment by Alice Carli on October 27, 2009 at 12:26pm: If it's electronic, then this is the place to post the link. If it's on paper, we don't really have any single address -- the best thing would be to bring copies to a meeting, if you can come, or send a few to the 19thWCA office if not.
