KATZ KRUSADE

Every day stray cats and kittens are starving, sick and/or injured or killed by cars and animals. Every day stray cats breed adding to the problem. Lack of funds especially during difficult economic times prevents may pet owners from getting involved in helping strays fearing they may get stuck with the bill or animal knowing they can't provide on-going care.

Kritter Kountry's Katz Krusade will develop a permanent cat refuge providing a permanent home where cats can roam, play and sleep in complete safety, indoors and out. All medical care including spay and neutering will be provided. Adoption provided if possible.

We can make a big difference in our communities by providing a safe haven for stray and feral cats and kittens by getting them off the streets, by giving then proper health care and by reducing pet overpopulation. Community members can take an active role and feel good about saving a stray from an uncertain future without worrying about financial burden and providing long term care.

Project Goals:

1. Provide a life home for stray, feral and abandoned cats and kittens.

2. Provide on-going medical care including spaying and neutering.

3. To engage communities in rescuing stray cats.

4. Behavioral work with all feline residents.

5. Provide adoptions for all adoptable cats and kittens.

Chance was found dumped in the middle of the street unable to walk and pregnant. Three days later she gave birth to 4 kittens of which 3 survived. Here she is nursing Sigmund, OMG and Pudge.

Charity was caught with a rabies pole by a humane officer who was about to put her down on the spot stating she was vicious. Actually she was giving birth at that very moment; one newborn in the mud the other in the birthing process. We luckily happened by as this was going on and rescued her and her kittens from the humane officer.

This is Mugwai, one of Charity's two kittens; the other named Kim Chee. Both were bottle fed and despite their traumatic start to life, both are happy, healthy kittens.

Felix was an outdoor cat who was neglected by his owner. He had internal parasites including round and tape worms as well as numerous abscesses from fight injuries. Now he is a plump, happy attention seeking love bug.

As a kitten, Taz was being chased down an alley by a driver trying to run him and his brothers Kody and Mocha (not pictured) over. At great peril, a good sumaritan clad only in her underwear saved all three kittens just in the nick of time. All were bottle fed and are now happy young adults, although Taz is still very leery of people. Do you blame him?

The Kritter Kountry Refuge would be located on approximately 20 acres. Phase One would be the Katz Krusade Kamp consisting of a series of special Feline Yurt housing facilities. All Yurts will be free roam where the cats can play, sleep and behave like cats. The Yurts will be interconnected around the main Medical and Nutrition Yurt. All incoming felines will be temporarily housed in the medical yurt until spayed or neutered and medically cleared. They will then be assessed and slowly introduced in with the appropriate feline residents. Connected to the Yurts will be a secure enclosed outdoor play area. This concept will allow for on-going expansion as needed.
