These young philanthropists along with their fellow @northwoodnapa @gotrnorthbay members collected much-needed supplies for our spay/neuter clinic, including disinfecting wipes, pet food, paper towels, treats, and more. We're constantly blown away by the generosity of our community, especially our next generation of pet owners!

Great information from our friends at the• @napa

Great information from our friends at the• @napacountyanimalshelter It's kitten season!!!

Here's what you should do when you find kittens:

When we find baby animals outside, our first instinct is to help. Thankfully, with kittens, it’s usually not necessary to intervene and “kit-nap” the litter. In fact, mom’s care is critical for their survival! If you’re worried about the kittens’ safety, simply observe from a safe distance and note if mom returns from her search for food.

If you’re certain mom won’t return, and you’ve spotted no trace of her for at least eight hours, the kittens may be orphans. Here’s what do next:

If you are unable to care for the kittens, call the Napa County Animal Shelter at 707-253-4382.

Consider being a foster parent! Set them up in your bathroom or other enclosed space, and we’ll provide you with a foster care kit including food, bedding, supplies, and more. We’ll be with you every step of the way, providing advice and encouragement! Bringing the kittens to the shelter may seem like an obvious choice, but their chance of survival is much higher in a home, where they’re protected from stress and disease.

Once eight weeks old or when they weigh two pounds, they can be spayed/neutered and rehomed. We’re here to help! Contact the Napa County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center at 707-253-4382.

TNR is the answer… Repost @napacountyanimalshel

TNR is the answer…

Repost @napacountyanimalshelter Community cats are the most significant source of cat overpopulation. Napa County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center supports a non-lethal strategy known as Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) as a solution to reduce community cat overpopulation. TNR is the most humane and effective way of reducing community cat populations.

The overabundance of outdoor cats is a community issue with a community-based solution and we are implementing a program to help bridge the gap between concerned citizens, animal advocates, and people caring for outdoor cats. Returning community cats outdoors is the best live outcome for individual cats and for the community.

Community cats are not suited to live as indoor pets or be confined in a shelter, even for a short period of time, and doing so can be extremely stressful and detrimental to their health and quality of life.

Benefits of TNR:

- It helps reduce nuisance cat behaviors associated with mating such as spraying, yowling, and fighting.

- It stabilizes the cat population by eliminating new litters.

- Cats gain more weight and live healthier lives.

- Spayed females are less likely to develop breast cancer and will not be at risk for ovarian or uterine cancer. Spaying also means the female cat will not go into heat, which attracts fewer male cats to the area.

- Neutered males will not develop testicular cancer and neutering reduces the risk of injury and infection for the cat, since intact males have a natural instinct to fight with other cats.

- It reduces the number of cats at animal shelters. As a result, animal shelters have more resources for other lifesaving and community outreach programs.

The best way to help community cats is through Trap, Neuter and Return. If you have community cats in your neighborhood, call us to learn more about Napa Humane’s TnR program.

Posted @withregram • @napacountyanimalshelter What is the community cat program?

A community cat is an outdoor, unowned, free-roaming cat. Always check a cat's ear for a missing tip or notch! This means they are a community cat and have been spayed/neutered.

Community Cat Programs assess the unique needs of every community cat entering care and provide the most beneficial pathway. Studies show that the best approach for healthy community cats is to spay/neuter and vaccinate them, and then quickly return them to their outdoor homes.

Community Cat Programs are the most humane and effective way to manage free-roaming cat populations while reducing their impact on wildlife populations and public health. If an adult community cat is sick or injured, he/she is assessed to determine potential treatment and returned to community if it is safe for the cat. When sick or injured cats require more extensive medical care and are not eligible for return outdoors, they are admitted to the Shelter and appropriately cared for. Kittens less than six months of age are individually assessed to determine the best live outcome for each one.

Cats that are micro-chipped (or otherwise identified as having an “owner”) are taken into the Shelter and attempts for reunification with their family are made. Likewise, when a person brings a cat to the Shelter or calls about a cat that has been found, Shelter staff check to see if any “lost pet” reports have been filed and family reunification is attempted.

Thanks for the Kitten Season reminder• @winecoun

Thanks for the Kitten Season reminder• @winecountryanimallovers It’s kitten season, people — and the best way to slow the number of vulnerable kittens born outside in the elements is to tackle the root of the problem: unaltered outdoor cats! We can’t do this alone and these cats need your help. Here's the 411 on safely trapping, sterilizing and releasing stray cats in your neighborhood. If you feed outdoor cats, it is imperative to also have them spayed. You can be a part of the solution! We're happy to answer all your burning questions and help connect you with resources near you.

NAPA COUNTY - you can borrow humane traps from the Napa County Animal Shelter and schedule spay/neuter at @napahumane We also have a few traps in Calistoga for use by up valley residents.

SONOMA COUNTY - the weekly clinic run by @forgottenfelines_sonomacounty is for feral or stray community cats

LAKE COUNTY - there are regular clinics in Kelseyville offered by SPCA of Lake County. Unfortunately, the community cat program run by Lake County Animal Care & Control has been put on hold because of the loss of their Veterinarian.
