Ash was one of a batch of kittens that the Commune took in less than a week after Aries was found. At only a few weeks old they were slated to be put to sleep at Harris County due to a lack of space. There were 4 total. Eventually 2 were adopted – Sooty and Flame; Lumiere and Ash remained at the Commune. Ash stayed at the Commune due to some very strange issues with his front feet as a kitten. His front legs were bowed out and his paws did not work correctly.

Jason arrived on May 13, 2019 after a 2 week stay at a vet in College Station. Many thanks to BCS Spay for reaching out to us about his case. Jason is front declawed and was an indoor/outdoor cat in his former home. His owners brought him in to the vet paralyzed in his rear legs from unknown trauma. Tests showed no bone breakage, but a severely bruised abdomen and bladder.

Minerva came to us indirectly through another rescue group because she was unable to walk in her back legs. Our doctors could find nothing obvious except a possible deformity or trauma high up in her spine. She had also been shot twice in the shoulders with what appeared to be pellets or BBs, but those were not positioned to affect her spine unless they had migrated. She was prescribed steroids and bed rest.

Mr. Meowgi was originally found as a 6 week old kitten in a client's yard and brought in to the vet clinic where Mimi works. Almost immediately he was adopted by a former employee who had been looking for a kitten. She took him home and was raising him well, but he began exhibiting unexplained violent behaviors. She reached out to us for advice and followed it to the letter, but the situation did not get any better. When he started attacking children, she knew he could not stay. We gladly took him in knowing his personality was a sure death sentence in a shelter.

I (Mimi) was at home one day when I received a message from my neighbor about an unusual cat in her yard with a photo attached. The photo showed what appeared to be a Bengal! I immediately went over and captured her using a crate and some wet food then took her to the clinic to scan for a microchip figuring someone has lost a beloved pet! Nope. No chip, and one very wild and terrified cat. We were unable to find owners, so we started the process of vaccinating, spaying, chipping, and socializing.

In 2017 a homeowner/friend came to me and said that someone in her neighborhood had intentionally injured 5 out of 6 cats in her feral colony in less than a week. We immediately went to work and were able get all six of them trapped. At that point your generosity allowed us to pursue diagnostics and treatment on each cat as needed. All 5 injured cats had been shot at close range with an air rifle. One girl was paralyzed and had to be euthanized. The others have been treated and with your continued help, they are safe with us now.

Scooter used to belong to one of our neighbors, specifically to the husband. She was primarily an outdoor cat, but adored her owner. Sadly he passed away in early 2015. We noticed Scooter hanging around our property more and not looking as healthy as she once had, so I approached the wife one day and asked if I could take Scooter to the vet for her.
