FIV in Our Stray Cats: Why Indoors is Best
Many stray and feral cats in our community have Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), a serious immune system disease.
Cats are domestic animals. Leaving them outdoors not only exposes them to FIV but also causes them to compete for food with local wildlife, disrupting our ecosystem.
Our mission is to bring these cats indoors, providing safe homes and preventing the spread of FIV, benefiting both cats and our environment.

We've been feeding 2 stray cats on our porch and recently the mother started bringing her kittens for breakfast. I've been getting up before sunrise to feed them.
Toby is the main guy hanging around the yard these days. We are working to accomodate Toby and Molly with her babies and making sure they are fed and have access to clean water outside until we can get Molly fixed and bring the kittens indoors.
The kittens have found the pods with the self warming beds on the porch and have been sleeping in them at night.
June 10, 2026 - Toby has been neutered and vaccinated! He is currently recovering in the back bedroom lounge in quarantine. Toby has been a resident of our yard since last June, before he matured, and then became the dominant male for this territory, so we know he's approximately a year and half. He's very calm, loves to be petted and enjoys his afternoon naps. He has a forever home here but if you are interested in adopting this handsome boy please contact us by e-mail, address below.
The kittens have been with us since May and they show up every evening for dinner and every morning for breakfast.
