Tales of Tails
Please HELP the Henrietta Throwaways!
Habitat for Cats is working to rescue, medically treat, foster, and adopt up to 9 cats left abandoned near a feral cat colony in Henrietta. The dump offs have occurred on at least 3 separate occasions over the past several weeks. All of the cats needed treatment for fleas and worms, with some needing additional treatment for dehydration, persistent diarrhea, ear mites, upper respiratory infection, and intestinal damage from years of mistreatment. Most of them have missing or cracked teeth, probably due to bad nutrition and/or from chewing on the bars of the cages they were forcibly kept in. Several of them have bent or deformed ears. All of the cats will need to be spayed or neutered. Read more ...

Eagle Scout candidate, Zachary Roberts from Lima Troop 29 along with Boy Scouts and community members gathered on Saturday, February 25th to build cat shelters. Zachary’s Eagle Scout project will benefit Habitat for Cats. Zach’s interest for animals led him to Habitat for Cats, an organization that helps feral (wild) cats in our communities.
Currently, there are over 10,000 feral cats in Monroe County alone. Habitat for Cats focus is to reduce the cat overpopulation by implementing a trap-neuter-return (TNR) program, and to educate the public on the benefits of this non-lethal method of population control. Zach’s project is to build cat shelters that will house these cats when returned to the wild. With contributions from B & L Wholesale Supply Inc., Weiders Pro Hardware and The Home Depot, Zach plans to build 15 of these shelters.
Pictured are the shelters built on the first build day held, along with (pictured from left to right): Kyle Smith, Cathy Smith, Rich Donegan, Mike Roberts, Eric Donegan, Zach Roberts (Eagle Candidate), John Lanphere, Jared Coates, Corey Ward, Lee Faull, Cameron Lanphere, Ben Armes, Alex Roberts, Jared Page, Teddy Alfieri, Kim Roberts, seated in center on the shelter is Karon Simoni from Habitat for Cats.
