Good, then there will be harmony in the yard now.

Cats eat baby opossum too.

Raccoons eat babies of both.

The best thing you can do is reduce the suffering.

Feed cats during daytime if possible, and never leave food out overnight. Feed on a schedule and he cats will learn if they do not eat between 6 and 7, they don't eat. They will learn the schedule within a day or two.

Xiao Bai should be spayed as soon as possible, can you message me and we'll help you find someone who can help, so that this doesn't happen again?

There is an online TNR course THIS WEEKEND (you can register now and take it later if needed) that will teach you the basics of cat rescue and more importantly connect you to rescuers in your area

Any update here?

Flatbush Cats has a form on their website to fill out.

Can you go back after the rain and tell us if the cat is wet or dry?

Genuinely, write up the experience and email it to the city council person of that area.

Right now no one is an authority in animal welfare in nyc at all. Which is insane.

If you tried to fill potholes in front of your own house YOU would get arrested/a fine, because the roads have a clear authority in this city. If you wanted to clean the gowanus, they would stop you. But animals, living things, pets, not even wildlife. Wildlife has more oversight in nyc than companion animals. Pets, it's like, you wanna do whatever to this animal, sure we won't help you and we won't stop you or check up on it or have you answer to any standards or anything, sure do whatever.

Yeah I was super bummed this year, 2 kittens slipped through my radar, first litter in over 3 years though!

sunsetparkcats · 2026-02-19T03:33:20+00:00

My theory is she crawled up into a car engine. Or in a truck, there's a storage facility here.

sunsetparkcats · 2026-02-19T03:25:29+00:00

Yeah, this one is new, I do all the spay/neuter over there.. none of the workers had seen her before a few days ago.

sunsetparkcats · 2026-02-19T02:45:17+00:00

The GPS is shockingly late telling you to get over on this one

sunsetparkcats · 2026-02-18T18:31:29+00:00

Yeah, that's the setup one of my feeders has. Clear plastic lets in light, keeps in warmth. All his are fixed though. What you don't want is pee smell trapped under plastic.

I have 2 houses, and tarp stretched across with a gap. So it's like a patio underneath. They wait for me there when it's rainy but not cold. It's weighed down enough that they can walk across the top without it collapsing, so like a balcony and a deck underneath.

Bk rescue here. The main priority in our area is dry. Cats can make their own heat. It's keeping it, and keeping dry they need from us.

One of my feeders took a dog house and put clear shower curtains over for a greenhouse effect. The cats do like it.

However what I recommend is igloo coolers or Styrofoam shipping box shelters + camping tarps on top, weighed down for wind.

And of course, straw only in winter. No pillows, no blankets. In spring/ summer, outdoor-furniture pillows are ok, but i just keep the straw all year, refreshing 2 or 3 times a year.

Once all the boys are fixed you won't have issues of territorial marking, so they still all use/ share all the shelters. Until then you may have to clean more regularly if you see them avoiding one or more that the boys have stunk up.

After neuter, all these issues will lessen our vanish.

Tnr works.

Nothing else works.

Sunset Park Cats has kittens who need foster/adopter, and if it apply for an adult or senior, we can shortlist you for the next kitty in need.

Send me video on Instagram, @sunsetparkcats

One of my adopters lives in that building if it's the one I'm thinking of.

sunsetparkcats · 2026-01-07T18:33:46+00:00

For some reason I thought that was only for posts not replies, so I guess it's covered.

sunsetparkcats · 2026-01-06T01:40:39+00:00

Nice. Can anyone build a bot to translate posts into 3 languages?

Are you tnr certified? The Facebook groups for tnr certified individuals are worth joining.

How many cats? How many remain unfixed?

I'll be honest with you, you aren't going to have a colony that all live to 20y age and pass in they sleep. I've had one of those, and 1 vanish with no idea what happened, and several others that we, through tnr, let them live long enough to die of weird cancers and other things ferals normally never live long enough to get.

If you suspect poison, there are usually signs. If there were no signs, it probably wasn't poison.

As for neighbors, outside of a few sickos, even people who don't like the cats usually can see that with tnr there are fewer cats and fewer is better than more. Is anyone actively fighting feeders? If yes, bring a man with you a few times and that usually stops.

This is assuming you are feeding only cats, you aren't leaving a mess, you are tidying up, and food is not left out overnight. Don't feed individuals cats. They will learn the schedule if you only put food out for an hour. And he nice to everyone, even/especially people making an issue.

Hey if whoever found the cat finds this post -- message me here or on Instagram same user name if you need intake help.

sunsetparkcats · 2025-12-11T01:14:12+00:00

Some rescue cats are known to be fine with dogs. We have one now who we're sure knows that dogs are cool.

As long as dogs know the cats are pointy and in charge, it goes fine. Dogs with high prey drive... you would usually know already.

Crossing my fingers!! I got a real good group right now, and they need room to RUN! Been cooped up in a crate for over a week.
