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 Eleanor Coleman on January 18, 2013 at 9:20am: The SWAN Grow Green program is looking for 2 cats to make the greenhouse their home. We have several cat lovers over there and would like to be a home to eaters-of-mice as well as a way to orient our kids as to the appropriate care of pets. For specific information, contact Lisa Barker at 943-0786, the Grow Green Program Director.

Comment by Alice Carli on December 11, 2012 at 7:29pm: Hi all,

I've had two e-mails recently through the web site from people who have just begun feeding single cats they cannot take in themselves, one a small black kitten and the other described as very friendly (so very adoptable). I'm recommending them to call Habitat, but thought I would check if anyone has room for one more...

Comment by Inge Mallory on November 11, 2012 at 12:26pm: I find it very difficult to do TNR once it gets dark. Sorry Alice.

Comment by Alice Carli on November 11, 2012 at 12:19pm: Extra TNR appointment 11/21, anyone? Cathy Brokaw says that she will be unable to keep one of her TNR appointments, scheduled for 11/21, and asked me to check and see if anyone would like to take it over, as it were, before she calls to cancel it.

Comment by Alice Carli on November 9, 2012 at 6:13pm: You guys all rock! And I wanted to let people know, Natasha (our errant cat) came back of her own accord after a couple of weeks away. We were very happy about that!

Comment by Kathleen M. Glennon on November 9, 2012 at 4:50pm: Make that 110 cats/kittens total for the 19th Ward! Lily Rose and her five kittens were all placed in loving homes, and Lily found a new mother Nov. 6. They were all spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed and tagged.

Our pretty black and white cat Natasha has not been home since 9/23. she's a rescue cat, ear-tipped, and doesn't keep a collar, and she is pretty shy, though she likes petting. So I suspect that if she does not chose to come home, she may never be noticed by a human. but if you see her, let me know!

Comment by Kathel Mallory on July 23, 2012 at 5:22pm: Kathleen,

I have one just like her that was feeding with my feral cat colony. She was also pregnant when I took her in.I've been trying to get adopted for the last 4 months. I wish you good luck. Don't give up. This is Felicia in her playful mood.

Comment by Kathleen M. Glennon on July 23, 2012 at 11:19am: This young cat, under 6 mos., showed up in the 300 block of Aldine 1 month ago. I thought it was a male and have now found out it is a female and is, I believe, pregnant. She is very loving, very smart and was definitely raised in a house. I cannot keep her, but would like her to have a loving home. If anyone is interested please contact me.
