I know the feeling of backsliding. Working with the county shelter here, I have watched the gradual improvements and then, shutdown. The animals there are actually safer in some ways for this moment. No euthanasia. No intake either except for emergencies but animals are still up for adoption. The Cat Cafe nearby appealed for help. I was desperately worried about those cats. All are now in foster homes and funding, donations totaled 250responses in one week. Things are bad in many ways but people are reaching out to help. I know TNR is suffering but with more humans with free time, maybe something positive can come in the future. New recruits when things reopen? We certainly need them. This is a chance to grab people’s attention. Let’s keep working to spread word about the need. There are ferals in limbo in the shelters. They need fostering or adopting! For every cat pulled off the streets until Spay/neuter services are available, there is one less out there to breed. Foster homes desperately needed so spaces in shelters can open up. Ferals can become socialized and be wonderful companions. We may need to shift directions for the moment but we can still keep working for change. Please tell the TNR who rescued Lelia, hang on! We adapt. We’ll find a way.Yeah, the TNR I got Lelia from can't do spay/neuter right now, though they were recently able to get medical care for a cat with a damaged eye and are still posting adoptable cats on their facebook page.
There's going to be major backslides after years of hard work.

you are wonderful in your commitment to, and love for, "your" feral cat! Don't let anyone tell you different. Your cat's life is precious and his or her wellbeing is important!
Fly free, whole, healthy, and forever Cherished, sweet Snuffles. *My heartfelt condolences for your loss, and my gratitude to you for giving her the care that you could. It's not about us, it's about THEM. They need people to come forward now more than ever. I hope you will reconsider.
