A story about a cat, and harm trash can do

THE SHADOW


A female cat lived with her old mum in an apartment. When mum died, the female cat lived alone around in the neighborhood. she lived like that for two years.

On New Year -00 her head was stuck in a hard, sharp strapping backlog. She struggled to get free, but instead got in one leg and the sharp nylon ribbon sat tightly.

Over time, the nylon strap gnawed it´s way deep into the flesh, she could only use three legs. The pain and hunger made &#8203;&#8203;her more and more withdrew from humans. There was a certain woman who had begun to give her food, but she never managed to get so close that she could free the cat from nylon band and thus plagues.
After half a year one in a neighborhood learned abbout Cat Command South,who help cats, and approached them.

they managed to catch the cat and took her to the vet. She was now very stressed out, and the vet had to give her a sedative syringe to look at her. She was released from the nylon strap , the wound was infected and rotten stench . She must have suffered terribly .


After the wound had been cleaned and she received antibiotics , they took her to an acute fosterhome . The idea was that she would get rest and get well .
But misfortune came back into the road, and the cat , which we now named Shadow , managed to escape just one day after she had arrived.


We were dejected. The wound was not nearly healed, and Shadow still needed antibiotics to get well .


We put up posters everywhere around the foster home, in the hope that someone would have seen a glimpse of Shadow. After nearly a month , we received a phone call. A woman in the area had for some weeks fed a cat who complied with the description.



One of the really energetic Cat Command South members rode the approximately 40 kilometers back and forth every day to put the trap , hoping that Shadow would go into it. Eventually she did and shadow again was transferred to a fosterhome ! Now we were extra cautious. This time it would be no chance to escape , now Shadow should recover in peace and quiet.


She moved in with one of the most active in the compound where she first got her own room , free from other cats and with much peace and quiet.


In the beginning was Shadow "invisible" , but over time , her sweet face in the window was the first thing that you saw when you came . Eventually the doors opened up , and Shadow began to socialize with the other cats in the foster home. She is the oldest cat in the home, and shows the young cats in the household that she don´t accept too much mischief by hitting the paw in the coach , as if to say " enough is enough " !

Now Shadow is neutered and ID-marked, and she is feeling better with each passing day. She eats dry food and manage the litter box perfectly. Shadow will live in the foster home as long as she needs. Later on, the idea is that she'll come to a permanent home.

Is A No-Kill New York In Sight?

ANIMAL ACTIVISM/PETS) New York City is even closer to becoming a no-kill city and currently has the lowest euthanasia rate of any large metropolitan U.S. city. With the help of organizations like the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC Animals, euthanasia of cats and dogs in city shelters has dropped 80 percent in the last decade.

The Alliance’s efforts include several pet adoption events throughout the city, a widespread foster program, a feral cat initiative, and veterinary care for animals awaiting adoption. Read on for the details on the group’s achievements and click here for more on their history. — Global Animal

Mayer’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals

In just one decade, the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals has brought New York City within reach of becoming a no-kill community.

Since its founding in 2003, this public-private coalition of more than 150 animal shelters, rescue groups, veterinarians, and others has saved the lives of more than a quarter of a million homeless animals and found homes for the vast majority. Because of the Alliance, New York City now has the lowest euthanasia rate per capita of any major U.S. metropolis (1 out of 1,000).

Said Jane Hoffman, co-founder, president and board chair of the Mayor’s Alliance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization not affiliated with the City of New York: “The Alliance has succeeded because of the combined efforts and tireless dedication of its community partners. As we begin our second decade, the goal of a no-kill New York City is within sight and the strength of this collaboration has never been greater.”

The Alliance’s outsized impact on the welfare of New York City’s animals can be seen in achievements like these:

1. Euthanasia of cats and dogs at the City’s animal shelters has declined 80 percent, to just over 6,000 (projected) from just under 32,000 a decade ago &#9472; an all-time low for Animal Care & Control of NYC (AC&C). This means that the Alliance and its member groups are succeeding in finding homes for eight out of every 10 dogs and cats entering AC&C.

2. The Alliance’s shelters and rescue groups have found adoptive homes for more than a quarter of a million dogs and cats – many through Alliance events like Adoptapalooza!, Whiskers in Wonderland, and Maddie’s®Pet Adoption Days.

3. The Alliance’s Wheels of Hope fleet of animal-transport vans has ferried almost 70,000 dogs and cats from AC&C shelters to foster and adoptive families, to Alliance partner shelters dedicated to finding them homes, and to veterinary appointments – all at no cost to the groups and individuals served. With transportation a particular challenge for many Alliance groups, Wheels of Hope, launched in 2005, fills a critical gap seven days a week, 365 days a year.

4. The Alliance’s NYC Feral Cat Initiative, also launched in 2005, has made huge strides in solving New York City’s feral cat overpopulation crisis. By offering free training workshops to groups and individuals who perform Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR); through giveaways of cat food, straw, and additional critical supplies; and by means of other supportive efforts, the Alliance is helping to humanely reduce the number of community (feral) cats.

5. The Alliance’s medical fund, a key initiative from the start, has paid for urgent veterinary care for thousands of sick and injured cats and dogs awaiting adoption.

Said President Jane Hoffman: “Working together, the individuals and groups of the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals have made a dramatic impact on the welfare of the homeless dogs and cats that share our city and our lives. We are proud of what we have achieved since our founding 10 years ago and we look forward to another decade of equally stellar results.”
