October 16, 2015 - National Feral Cat Day! - This is the fifteenth year in a row that Alley Cat Allies has designated October 16 as National Feral Cat Day. I am attending my TNR Organization Fund Raising Event tomorrow night. We will be on hand to talk about TNR and to show some of the adoptable cats and kittens. More than anything, I am hoping some of the cats/kittens (friendlies) will be adopted. :cross:

I also want to extend a :blobpink: BIG, GIANT, ENORMOUS THANK YOU :blobmul: to all of our member's here on TCS for all of the hard work, painstakingly long hours, love and compassion, and the big hit on our wallets AND OUR HEARTS whom care for feral cats in and around your neighborhoods. It is such a commitment and without all of you stepping up and taking a stand on behalf of these poor lost little souls, well, they would surely be so much worse off than lost..... My heart is always overjoyed at the outpouring of love in these thread here in our Feral Forum. Feral cats are the same cats as our indoor cats. They are out THERE in the wild not of their own doing and I feel such a need to encourage and educate the public on how to help these cats. I hope each and everyone of you know how special you are. It takes a village, heck.... it takes MUCH more than that, but it is incredibly amazing how much just even a few people can do, OR just one person if they just get started in knowing how to help even just one feral cat. That is where it all begins. The person or people who band together to do something about stopping feral cats from breeding are HEROES !!!!!!!!!!!!
:thanks: :high5: :bigthumb: :lovegrin: YOUR ALL THE BEST!!! :heart3: :clap: :clap2:

I wholeheartedly second everything that @Feralvr  said.

All of you who care for ferals in your area are unsung heroes that the vast majority of people will never acknowledge. The compassion, generosity and love that you show these animals is amazing yet you never ask for a thing in return. The occasional slow blink from a cat whose belly is no longer empty and hurting and had a warm place to sleep the night before (thanks to you) is enough.

These cats, though some may never show it outright, know what you are doing for them and they appreciate it. The day will come when they are able to thank you for loving them so much, giving them all you had and then finding a way to give some more. This isn't just their day. It is YOUR day too. The Cat Goddess knows every kindness you show and every sacrifice that you make for Her babies and she forgets nothing. I believe that when it's time for you to cross the bridge, she will be there to personally escort you and tell you that she couldn't have done a better job herself.

I know you won't pat yourselves on the back today. It's not in your nature because that's not why you do what you do. You do it because you genuinely love these cats. So we'll do it for you. You make the world a better place and not just for the cats.
