Hi everyone, it’s Friends of Feral Felines with an update on Project 28216 — and how your support is making a real difference right here in our community.

We first received a call back in July of 2025. A resident in the neighborhood was doing her best to care for 20+ cats on her own. We met with her, built a plan together, and started stabilizing the colony.
We were able to spay and neuter the adults, and I personally fostered many of the kittens and found them safe, loving homes.

Just as we began wrapping up that site, another call came in — this time, from just around the corner.
This caretaker was feeding five cats. We were able to get four taken care of pretty quickly. But while I was searching for the fifth, I discovered something bigger: an apartment community with many more cats and kittens living outside.

This is when we knew we needed backup.

We partnered with the apartment management and began doing neighborhood outreach — passing out information, speaking with residents, and building trust so that we could help the cats and the community.

With that collaboration, we launched our first Targeted TNVR effort in the area. We trapped 12 cats for clinic day.
Two of the kittens were too small, so I fostered them — and thanks to our partners at the Humane Society of Charlotte, they were able to enter an adoption program. The remaining 10 cats were TNVR’d and returned safely.

Now, we’re heading into round 2 of Targeted TNVR in this same neighborhood — and we have 22 clinic spots reserved to keep moving this colony toward stability.

This is how you change a community. Not just one trap at a time — but by building relationships, supporting caretakers, and committing to long-term solutions that prevent suffering and future litters.

And that’s why Giving Tuesday matters.

When you support Friends of Feral Felines, you’re supporting projects just like Project 28216 — where we can go into underserved neighborhoods, work directly with residents, and stop the cycle before kittens are born into hardship.

Your donation helps us keep showing up — for the cats, for the caretakers, and for the neighborhoods who want to see positive change.

💛 If you believe in this work, please consider supporting FFF this Giving Tuesday. Every dollar helps us continue stabilizing this zip code — and the next one.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We couldn’t do this without you.
