The owner had just bought the home and the garage came with tons of feral cats that the owner wanted removed. Metro cat had trapped most of the cats but Callie was destined to be trapped by Street Tails. Metro Cat went out of business and Callie was the last kitten left. ( maybe 6

Helping Ferals Become Family
I had a crazy, busy, day but the end of the day melted my heart. ❤️ I asked Donna, to give my neighbor her Siamese kitten. Crazy story… the Siamese is polydactyl and my neighbor was born with 6 fingers and had one removed???? Whaaaat? The kitten loved Alejandra right away. She kept calling the Siamese kitten her prince 🤴 😻😻 Alejandra’s whole house is white and light gray like this cat 🐈⬛

Street Tails advocacy group has two new volunteers and animal advocates
Street Tails advocacy group has two new volunteers and animal advocates; Paige Miltenberger & Cyndi Brewster. They understood the assignment and have donated time, money, love and resources. Our core team is small but mighty just like the kittens we save off the streets of Aurora. We are looking for more like minded people and volunteers. There’s lots of work to be done before the harsh Winter!!! We also need donations for two events we will be hosting in early November
