Sidenote: AI absolutely refuses to let these cats be outside without collars, no matter how we word it. Even artificial intelligence has an opinion!

Winter is brutal and 2025-2026 looks like it could be exceptionally cold and wet. Just as the chaos and rush of kitten season winds down, we start to see freezing cats. Kitten season is a lot, but we know what's coming: KITTENS and a lot of spay/neuter surgeries.

Winter is different. From frostbite to hunger, injuries caused by climbing icy surfaces or running across busy icy roads and upper respiratory infections, winter is the Bring It On season that we truly have to brace for. Every day is a grab bag with the potential to bring joy or horror in equal measure. We tear into it, anyway, because they need us. And they need you.

All donations to this fundraiser will be used to supply shelters to colony caretakers and cover TNR and vet expenses for colony cats. Our hope is to reduce Kitten Season 2026, get as many friendly cats off the street and out of harm's way BEFORE harm finds them and make sure that those who can't come in are as safe and warm as possible outside.
