This was a momentous week for TUX. In November of 2019 he was believed to have been discarded at a rural Palmerton farm, where PCP had worked with the homeowners to TNR 29 cats.

Colony cats were not welcoming, because they instinctively protect their territory and food source from other roaming strays. Fortunately, the colony caretakers quickly realized that TUX was a friendly, gentle boy and provided him with food necessary for survival. They alerted PCP and an attempt was made to find him a home.

In early March, a former Palmerton resident inquired about his availability. TUX was then taken into PCP foster care for 8 weeks until medical issues were resolved. He was formally adopted on 5/26. He now has a wonderful forever home as a much-loved house cat.

ADOPTING A CAT MAY NOT CHANGE THE WORLD; BUT FOR THAT CAT, THEIR WORLD WILL BE FOREVER CHANGED. 😻 

Our recent plea for a home for RAGNAR was answered by a lovely family in Fogelsville. (He is the senior citizen trapped at a rural Palmerton colony location who was being bullied by the other colony members.)

RAGNAR was transferred to a double hutch and is becoming familiar with his new human caretakers. He is already showing interest in his new family as evidenced by the photos below, where he is peeking out at them.

In a couple of weeks RAGNAR will be moved into a common area where 4 other rescued cats reside. He will remain in the hutch as he acclimates to his new roommates. After approximately one month’s time RAGNAR will be able to access the full living area, which includes a secure outside catio.

Words cannot adequately express our thanks and appreciation for the compassion and kindness of RAGNAR’s new family, and for all of those who responded to his plight. He will never have to struggle to survive again. ♥️
