Engywook- Available for Adoption

I'd like to introduce Engywook. Engywook was one of the members of my colony. However, right away I was able to tell that he wasn't feral and had a wonderful demeanor. Engywook is very loveable and such a big handsome boy. Him and I would sit outside in my yard together for hours even in the rain. The rain never bothered him, he loved the company, and he especially loved when he had his catnip toys. Boy, does he love his catnip toys. Other things he loves..being held, loves to be brushed, treats, and playtime, just to name a few. Engywook was admitted to the No Kill shelter Tree House Humane Society where he still awaits his forever home. Engywook is dear to my heart not just because he is such a big teddy bear, but he is also the father of my cats Atreyu and Falkor. Could you be the one Engywook has been waiting for to join their forever home? Could be. To find more information about Tree House please visit www.treehousenaimals.org to possibly visit and adopt Engywook.

How Does TNR Help Feral Cats?

Through TNR, feral cats can live out their lives without adding to the homeless cat population. It is very important to have all feral cats spayed/neutered, because it is the only 100-percent effective way to prevent unwanted kittens. Feral cats are prolific reproducers.Furthermore, by stabilizing the population, cats will naturally have more space, shelter and food, and fewer risks of disease. After being spayed or neutered, cats living in colonies tend to gain weight and live healthier lives. Spayed cats are less likely to develop breast cancer and will not be at risk for ovarian or uterine cancer, while neutered males will not get testicular cancer. By neutering male cats, you also reduce the risk of injury and infection, since intact males have a natural instinct to fight with other cats. Spaying also means female cats do not go into heat and therefore they attract less tom cats to the area and reduce fighting. If cats are sterilized and live in a colony that has a caretaker, they can go on living for many, many years

How Does TNR Benefit the Community?

TNR helps the community by stabilizing the population of the feral colony and, over time, reducing it. At the same time, nuisance behaviors such as spraying, loud noise and fighting are largely eliminated and no more kittens are born. Yet, the benefit of natural rodent control is continued. TNR also helps the community's animal welfare resources by reducing the number of kittens that would end up in their shelters—TNR creates more space for the cats and kittens who come to them from other avenues.
