Working Cat series. AI is not quite as good with cats and this series is a bit less photographic in feel. Fun as hell to create though. #cats #workingcats #midjourney #aiart #aiportraits #portrait https://www.instagram.com/p/Co0QanWJ6pc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Who remembers Almeda wildfire survivor Big Foot⁉️ Rescued and trapped by wildfire search team Caylen Kelsey & @teamferalcats Amanda Linnehan, Big Foot was transferred to Petals-4-Paws community cat program, Cherub's Cottage, this past June. Cherub's Cottage, a collaborative of committed local rescues, trappers and feeders, has become a haven for challenging, un-socialized and/or severely feral cats and kittens that must be relocated. We are honored that Big Foot has bestowed his trust upon us, and so happy to announce he has successfully transitioned to being one of P4P's permanent working cat residents. His transition to freedom and independence has strengthened his trust of the human experience, so much so that he dilly dalleys and lingers wherever we are outside, acting uninterested in us or what we're doing, all the while strategically positioning himself to never lose sight of us! Folks, this is a process from start to finish, feeding, trapping, medically vetting - due to the pandemic and worker shortage, very few local Veterinarians are able and willing to sedate for triage, sterilization - a minimum 1-2 month's wait, and, finally, relocation. The process is a test of patience and compassion, and one of the most rewarding experiences. Done correctly, it can take a minimum of 6 months + minimum 3 months relocation follow-up - 3 out of 13 of the untouchables we have rehabbed took 12(+) months. P4P is grateful to organizations that are able to facilitate high volume rescues and meet high volume needs, their work allows us to dedicate our time to those kitties who otherwise may never be visible to the public. To the cat lovers that support our work, donate to our programs and advocate for the lives we save through sharing our rescue stories on social media and making P4P a topic of conversation, we THANK YOU ❤🐾 #bigfoot #TNR #TNRworks #communitycats #rescuecats #workingcats #barncats #cherubscottage #petals4paws #petalssavepaws #rescuelife #sanctuary #animalsanctuary #rescuemommas #rescuesanctuary  #animalrescue  #southernoregonlife #centralpointoregon #CentralPoint (at Petals-4-Paws Nursery & Rescue) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXbgSoKJT4I/?utm_medium=tumblr

Haywood County Animal Services is currently waiving all fees for Working/Barn cats. These cats do not usually enjoy the company of people and would rather spend their time outside hunting prey. All you need to provide for them is food, water, & shelter. They are listed as FERAL BARN CAT in their bios online. Do you have a farm that needs a natural exterminator? Do you run a factory or warehouse that could use a good rodent patrol? Or maybe you’re engaging in privateering? Well, don’t hesitate. Call 828-456-5338, option 2 and get yourself a real genuine feline hunter. #haywoodcountyanimalshelter #newleashonlifeadoptioncenter #haywoodcountync #clydenc #cantonnc #maggievalleync #waynesvillenc #lakejunaluskanc #adoptacatsavealife #adoptacat #barncats #workingcats #barncatsofinstagram #workingcatsofinstagram #catsruletheworld #ashevillecatweirdos #ashevillenc #buncombecountync #sylvanc #jacksoncountync #hendersoncountync #hendersonvillenc #catshunting #feralcats #feralcatsofinstagram (at Friends of Haywood County Animal Shelter) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMfewWQpuDP/?igshid=1fmtkm0eew314

Oreilles Pointues, a Feral Cat

Part 2

I had to name the cat as I filled out paper work at SpayNation, a service for feral cats and their would-be owners. Most of my readers know I’m a lover of the French language, especially our local Cajun vernacular. I named it Oreilles Pointues, French for pointed ears.

The vet phoned me later during the day to say that he had moved through the surgery fine and that there were no major concerns other than skin issues; that I already knew just by looking at Oreilles Pointues. For cat lovers you know how intense cat skin issues are. Our Martha, 18 years old cat who passed last year had skin issues that were never truly resolved. So looks like I’m in for another run with cat skin issues.

Hopefully, Oreilles, and the vet says he is a male young adult cat, adopts us and stays around our place. it’s his decision now; I’ve done my part. I’d love for him to join our merry band of feline loves here at Ray Dean, at least now I know he won’t be part of the problem of too many unloved cats without homes. And he won’t be creating new kitties. The vet said other than the issues I’ve already stated, in addition being malnourished and dehydrated, he should be fine! I can pick him up in the morning.

Part 3

I picked up Oreilles Pointues this morning; and he looked rested, much calmer and a bit more alert to his surroundings. In a bit I’ll let him go; hopefully he chooses us. I’d love nothing better than to have him join our lives here on the farm as one of our working cats, hunting and feeding off the bounty and goodness on the prairie.

I was so excited yesterday to get a couple of comfy office chairs to *hopefully* fix all of the pinched nerve issues. I’m happy to report it worked- the cats no longer have any pinched nerves! 😂 They’ve agreed in exchange to help me with the sewing… in between all the snores I guess… ?? 😹 . . . #catsarethebest #catsarejerks #sillycats #workingcats #sleepingcats #cats_of_instagram #catslivesmatter #catmomproblems #workingfromhome #sewingproject #kittylove #tuxiesrule #greyandwhitecat #seriouslytho #meow_beauties #purrito #purrfect https://www.instagram.com/p/CQbjtpap6Bd/?utm_medium=tumblr
