I’ve had a soft spot for cats for as long as I can remember. Long before
I ever trapped my first feral or bottle‑fed my first orphan, I was the person
who stopped for every stray, checked every porch for kittens, and made sure no
animal went hungry on my watch.
My rescue work began in Florida, where I first learned the realities of
outdoor cats, colony dynamics, and the importance of spay/neuter. When I moved
to Missouri in 2004, that quiet compassion turned into something much bigger hands‑on
rescue, TNR, colony caregiving, and neighborhood education that has now spanned
decades.
Over the years, my husband and I have cared for countless cats: ferals,
strays, abandoned pets, seniors, special‑needs cats, and the ones who simply
needed someone to show up for them. We’ve hiked through woods to feed colonies,
trapped in snowstorms, bottle‑raised the fragile ones, and provided medical
care at home when no one else would. Every cat has taught us something, and
every rescue has shaped the work we do today.
This blog exists for one reason:
to share practical, real‑world guidance for anyone who wants to help cats whether
that’s a single stray on your porch or an entire colony depending on you.
Here you’ll find:
- TNR tips and colony‑care basics
- Seasonal safety guides
- Rescue stories and lessons
learned
- Advice for rehoming, adoption,
and behavioral understanding
- Myth‑busting rooted in veterinary
science and lived experience
- Community‑focused advocacy for
responsible pet ownership
I write under the pen name Susang6, but the work is very real,
very local, and very personal. Southwest Missouri is home, and the cats here especially the forgotten ones are part of my
life’s purpose.
If my experience can help someone else save a life, prevent suffering, or
feel less alone in the hard parts of rescue, then this blog is doing exactly
what it was meant to do.
