Cats We’ve Helped

Every cat, one at a time.

Trap–Neuter–Return is slow, unglamorous work: watch a colony for weeks, set traps before dawn, and bring every cat back to its own block ear–tipped, healthy, and done adding to the problem. Kittens young enough to be socialized go to the Humane Society to find homes; everyone else goes home. This is the record, run by run.

- Dusty is a gr/wh TabbyF Shorthair
- Buns is a br TabbyF Shorthair
- Lindsey and Pat, who take care of two community cats, called attention to a pair of females on the block needing to be trapped, neutered and returned (TNR).
- The friendly female felines, named Dusty and Buns, were easily coaxed by Lindsey and Pat to enter a trap.
- The COTBMB organization wants to recognize Lindsey and Pat’s compassion and thank them for the generous donation.

7th Avenue North
- or/wh CalicoM • Shorthair
- Since he was a kitten he has evaded capture. Trapping him was a biiiiiig deal.
