So this would be a good month to put your cat in a harness and on a leash and walk her into your local veterinarian\u2019s office for a health checkup. If she hasn\u2019t been spayed\u2014have it done now. If you\u2019re aware of a stray in your neighborhood that isn\u2019t being cared for, arrange to trap the cat yourself\u2014you can get the use of![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/catgraygoldeyes-300x225.jpg\")
traps and instructions from your local humane society. Or involve a cat rescue organization. They\u2019re everywhere\u2014in every county and many cities within those counties.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t physically help, donate\u2014cash, unused cat beds and bowls, blankets and towels, etc. to local rescue groups or individuals who work with neighborhood cats. Pick up cat trees and other cat items at yard sales. Watch your local give-and-take facebook page for free or inexpensive cat supplies you can donate. A friend bought a HUGE cat tree from Craig\u2019s List in great shape and had it delivered last week, all for $30. New it would have cost her at least twice that.<\/p>\n
A friend recently celebrated her birthday on behalf of a local rescue organization. She asked that everyone who wanted to celebrate with her donate to the shelter. She collected $500 for the shelter.<\/p>\n
These are some of my ideas and suggestions. I\u2019ll bet you can add to this list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
