It feels like just yesterday that Marble was a tiny, hungry kitten finally getting the nutrition and support she needed (and getting her meal all over her little face!). Now look at her! Thank you for helping us protect Marble and bring her to this exciting new chapter.

#Adopted! 🥳

We're so happy to send Marble off to her forever home with our best wishes! We're grateful to have been with her on her journey, from rescuing her as a tiny kitten from a dangerous shelter situation to providing the care she needed to grow up strong and healthy.

California, this is it! Assembly Bill 867 to BAN cat declawing statewide has passed in both houses. Now, all that's left is for Governor Newsom to sign it into law! 🐾

If you live in CA, urge your governor to sign the bill and #KeepCatsClawsOnTheirPaws: actnow.alleycat.org/page/82854/a...

- Human food and drink. Watch your chocolate, alcohol, coffee, tea, energy drinks, onions, garlic, gum, cooked bones, or anything with the sweetener xylitol. All are dangerous for cats.

- Insecticides. These chemicals can cause a problem if your cat grooms herself after walking or lying in a recently treated area.
- Cleaning products. Store all bleach, laundry detergent, surface cleaners, and other such products in cat-inaccessible areas of your home.

- Your medications. Assume all of your medications are poisonous to cats. If you drop a pill on the floor, pick it up quickly.
- Antifreeze. If you spill it, clean it immediately.
- Houseplants. Lilies, chrysanthemum, azaleas, rhododendrons, tulips + daffodils are all poisonous

Not all cats want to live indoors. For community cats, who aren't socialized to people, being put into an indoor environment can be very stressful. They are at home outdoors with their feline families.

The best way to help? Trap-Neuter-Return (#TNR)! 🐈

🐾 Some pills can be cut or crushed to make it easier to hide in food. Consult your veterinarian or pharmacist first!
🐾 The cat who needs medication should be monitored at all times to ensure she is the only one who eats the medicated food.

Medicating community cats is all about the hands-off approach! Learn more at alleycat.org/SickOrInjured

Our tips:

🐾 Prioritize oral medications: Ask for liquid suspension, powder, or granule formulas of medications. These can be mixed into wet food.

The truth is, community cats are healthy members of our communities. Plus, Trap-Neuter-Return (#TNR) is the number one way community cats receive rabies vaccinations!
