- We have cared for a colony of approximately 25 cats and rescued kitties for 16+ years. It is common these days for people to simply let their unwanted cats outside thinking they will care for themselves. This is not true! House cats left outside have not developed the survival skills necessary to live outside. Sometimes their cat develops unwanted behaviors because they weren't spayed or neutered so they let their cat out and guess what happens? The female becomes pregnant and the male locates every fertile female in the neighborhood! Then, more kittens! Some of the cats in this colony were once someone's beloved pet who was betrayed and left outside. These special kitties were fortunate to form this colony yet every once in awhile another new cat comes to visit, then stays. It is very expensive feeding and caring for so many so many cats.
- We also spend a lot of time building shelters and homes for them with large plastic or Rubbermaid(R) boxes, duct tape, insulation and straw. When we can financially, we will purchase a larger cat or dog igloo so a few cats can sleep together, sheltered from the rain and snow.
- During this past brutal winter many of their houses were destroyed from several feet of heavy snow and fallen branches from surrounding trees. We were fortunate that no kitties were harmed yet we needed to rebuild! We replaced some houses with more to go and also provided new straw in every house. Supplies are costly and add up over time. One of our feeding stations was recently vandalized and needs to be replaced.
- We also neuter and spay the cats for their health and well-being. Veterinary care is expensive so you can only imagine paying for 25 kitties or more! Sometimes though, kittens are born as you can see from the photos, they are adorable and we are a "no-kill" rescue. After the mama cat cares for them for several weeks we try to find homes for them. It is better for them to find a furever home at a young age rather than live outside so we try to find homes for the adoptable kitties after they are checked by our veterinarian.
- I know it's tough for a lot of people out there economically. The cats appreciate any support you can offer. We purchase cat food discounts, vitamins, Brewers Yeast, and other supplies for them right here on eBay! We also receive "eBay bucks" when items are purchased through eBay so the more donations we receive here, the more we can purchase for the cats through eBay!!

Freya's Cat Rescue is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, no-kill, cat rescue comprised of a group of dedicated, animal loving volunteers. Our primary focus is to care for a feral cat colony of strays, abandoned, and homeless cats and kittens. We spay, neuter, vaccinate and provide them sanctuary for the rest of their lives. We offer education about feral cat care and encourage new cat owners the importance of spaying/neutering pets for their health and to alleviate unwanted behaviors that may result in their future abandonment. 100% of your donation amount is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Thank you for making a difference in the lives of feral cats! The kitties thank you for caring.
