Another dedicated Temple employee has been feeding 3 cats near Temple Hospital. She has 5 cats of her own and can’t take these guys in, so they need foster care!  We can take care of all of their veterinary care, but they need somewhere to stay until they’re ready to be adopted!  The two gray ones are very sweet, especially with each other. The black one is shy, but not unfriendly. We think they may all be male.  If you can help, please let us know – this is not a good neighborhood, and a lot of the cats that come out of here are in bad shape – and it’s getting cold! Let’s get these guys off the street and into a warm bed as soon as we can!

We had a great time at Outfest on Sunday, Oct 10. Simon was adopted, and we had several people apply to adopt Odessa – she’s not old enough to go home yet. Persephone also got picked up by her new mom, and Autumn won “Best in Show” at the Outfest Pet Show! We raised a good amount of money to help Cody’s mom pay for his surgery, as well! It was a great time, and we met a lot of awesome people! Thanks to everyone who volunteered, and to those who organized this great event and gave us the opportunity to get Temple Cats out there!

Sweet little Cody underwent surgery to fix an ulcer on his one eye last week. He was already missing the other eye and he had the surgery in the hopes he wouldn’t lose his vision entirely. The surgery went well, although we don’t know how his vision will be, and he’s not 100% out of the woods yet – he is on a lot of medication and needs your good vibes and prayers sent his way! Unfortunately, his vet bills & medication cost upwards of $2000, and his foster mom could use some help paying for that.
