Thank you to the girls in Girl Scout Troop 522 for all of their help

July 24, 2010 News, Volunteers No Comments

The troop and their leaders came to visit The Hermitage this Spring and helped clean litter boxes and wash shelves.

Better yet, they played with the kitties who relished in the affection.

The Troop raised a large amount of money which they donated to assist with medical bills for the kitties. They also collected metal cans for our “Cans For Cats” program along with  much needed blankets, toys, bedding, food and money to assist with medical bills.

Trisha

Trisha has lived at the Hermitage for over 10 years. She has truly blossomed into a loving, funny and social feline. Trisha is rather large, but carries herself very gracefully through the shelter population.

Trisha loves getting pet and especially loves her treats. After spinning in circles and falling down, Trisha loves a good scratch on her prominent chin.

Thank you to Signs4Less as they “wrapped” The Hermitage truck at a significant discount. Many, many thanks to the four supporters who donated the remaining funds to make this possible.

We can now spread our message all over Tucson as our vehicle is used daily to transport kitties and carry large loads necessary for the shelter.

Trap – Neuter – Release

July 22, 2010 TNR No Comments

Homeless cats roaming your neighborhood?
Upset by the never-ending cycle of unwanted kittens? Tired of the fighting, yowling, and spraying? TNR, or trap-neuter-return, is a humane and effective approach to managing and, ultimately, decreasing feral (wild) and stray cat populations.

    Trap: The cats are caught and transported using safe, humane traps.
    N
    euter/Spay: The cats are taken to a veterinary clinic to be neutered or spayed and vaccinated.

    R
    eturn: The cats are returned to the site from which they came.

Community Cat Initiative, The Hermitage’s TNR program, offers the following services:

  • Trap loans: $40 cash deposit per trap, two-week loan – deposit returned upon return of trap.
  • Vouchers for low-cost neuters and spays: $15 per cat and an additional $7 for pregnant females – to be used at participating clinics.
  • Information regarding the trap-neuter-return approach and general information regarding feral and stray cat populations.

If you are interested in creating a better quality of life for, both the people, and homeless cats in your neighborhood, please contact the Community Cat Initiative at:
