An incredibly sweet black and white manx (nubbin tail) wandered into our feral colony a couple of weeks ago. I'm guessing he's around one to two years old. Through the assistance of Indy Feral, he has been neutered and is now available for adoption at the Indianapolis Humane Society. His name is Howard. He's not up on the web site yet, but they have adoptions for 17.76 through tomorrow. That's quite a bit off their normal adoption rate (which I believe is near 100 dollars now).

I will leave this public. Feel free to pass this on to anyone you think might be interested.

This is the organization that has been helping with our feral colony. They are amazing; for 20 dollars per cat, they spay/neuter, give a rabies vaccine, and give them frontline for fleas. They will do this whether you have the money or not, but I would LOVE to be able to at least pay for our colony. In August, they took care of 6 animals, and in two weeks, they are coming to help10 more. I'm hoping that this will be most of them. I'm having a rough time keeping count since they keep spawning (also trying to find homes for the babies before they get too wild).

Here's the thing, we've been more than just a little short on cash lately. So, I'm asking for help from my fellow animal lovers. If you are interested, you can donate directly to the site; however, then it wouldn't necessarily be earmarked for our specific colony. So, I'm asking for either paypal donations (then I will write a check directly to them for those funds) or checks written directly to Indy Feral and then sent to me via snail mail so I can give them directly to my Indy Feral contact. I've been told that checks written directly to Indy Feral can be considered tax-deductable charitable donations.

So, I'm asking for your help. Anything you can give would be fantastic. Even if I end up getting more money than is needed for our 16, all donations will go directly to Indy Feral. Hopefully, this will curb all of the "omg, please adopt this kitten" posts in the future, too. :)

Please contact me directly at sillygrrl25@yahoo.com if you are interested in helping (also comment so I make sure your email doesn't go to spam). I'm also leaving this post public if you'd like to share it with others.

Thanks!
