Diana

Many of the cats we are helping to get adopted who were caught near Temple Hospital are part of “Project Diana.”  We are helping Brenda Malinics, an experienced trapper and wildlife rescuer – and Temple employee, as well, with her quest to rescue the cats of Estaugh Street. Diana was a tiny cat rescued by Brenda who didn’t make it due to the abuse she had suffered, and she decided to help more cats from Diana’s street in her honor. Brenda is working with Forgotten Cats to trap and care for the cats, and we are helping to place these cats in both foster and adoptive homes. Around 20 cats were caught, so we desperately need help! Donations to help pay for the cats’ veterinary care, as well as food, litter and supplies, will enable us to continue to care for these cats. Please contact us for more information on how to help!  If you can adopt or foster, or if you have any time to help in any other way, please let us know.

Here are a few of the cats that we’re helping who were caught around Temple Hospital. Stay tuned for more updates and more cats!

Rocky, around 5 years old. This affectionate and mellow white male with two difference color eyes, has had a hard time on the tough streets. Although his gums are not diseased, he has only three teeth, perhaps from a blow to the head or mouth. He also has a deep scar on his front leg joint. Despite all this, he is a love bug and is neutered and fully vetted.

Lila, about 2 years old. This young female was pregnant when rescued. She has had several litters of kittens as a youngster and grateful to finally be spayed and vaccinated. She loves to eat and be rubbed.

Murphy, around 8 months old. This young affectionate male can’t get enough attention. This guy is an “in your face” kinda cat who wants all the love he can demand. He has been neutered and vaccinated.

Elvis, around 2 years old. This is a gentle giant who is quite a lover—on and off the street. He was well known on the street for fathering so many kittens and he has many scars, including an eye injury, and scratches to prove it. He has been neutered and fully vetted. He wants nothing of his former life.

Pippin, around 12 weeks old. This little boy is shy and coming out of his shell. He has discovered toys and loves to play in his water bowl, making a constant mess of his cage.

Emma, around 1 year old. She is very sweet and affectionate. Shows evidence of having been pregnant. Her ears have been scratched raw from probably mite infection for which she has been treated. She wants be rubbed as often as possible.

Athena was adopted by a Temple grad, and we got a picture of the happy pair as Athena left for her new home.
