This website was originally created
to tell the story of one very special feral cat who miraculously survived
after being shot in the head with
a rifle. "Stripy" is the inspiration behind this ongoing effort to help improve
the lives of other homeless stray and feral cats.
STRIPY IS HOME AND DOING WELL!
STRIPY
July 18, 2011: Thank you to everyone who
kept Stripy in their thoughts and prayers during his recent illness and hospitalization. We are very happy to report
that he is now at home and doing well! His latest bloodwork showed no sign of kidney or liver failure and
his appetite is back to normal. Although Stripy has ongoing health issues with megacolon and neurological damage due
to his prior tail injuries, he is feeling much better!
Check Stripy's Facebook page for more updates on his condition.
If you love cats, and are concerned about their welfare, you’re probably already familiar with the
organizations that advocate for them on a national level.You may also know about
some of the smaller rescue groups and shelters that operate in the area where you live.But do you know how many of your neighbors feed and care for homeless feral and stray cats?Chances are, there are a few…

the combined views as of May 1, 2011 stand at 993 - only
SEVEN

"What
is life? It is the flash
of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the
grass and loses itself in the sunset."

A big “thank you” to Kristen, Stripy’s
special friend in RI, for donating her beautiful hand-crafted cat blankets to Stripy's Site!
On July 16th, 2010 we very sadly said goodbye to the elderly
Maine Coon kitty we knew as "Mangy." Though Mangy had not been with our alley cat colony for much longer than a year,
and in spite of his age, he had established himself as the alpha male - or "boss cat." His loss has had a deep impact
on our colony cats - as it has on us. So sorry, buddy. We love you and will miss you.
