We need foster homes!
Can you provide temporary loving home to some cats or kittens? We provide the food and litter, and you get a say in which cat you foster. If at any time you need to bring our foster back, we'll accept him/her without judgment and thank you for all you have done.
Iggy (adopted!), Edie (adopted!), and Twiggy
Please call 852-CROW or email to apply to become a foster carer for these wonderful felines.

Asymmetrical Edie
When Edie gets drowsy, her eyes get lopsided. It's actually quite charming in real life.
Edie's a snuggler who loves beds, chasing dogs twenty times her size, and chin rubs. She's ready for her home anytime now.
A Growing Iggy
Iggy is growing and happy, but would really love a forever home.
Iggy is going to grow up to be a gorgeous cat. He is very sweet, loves other cats, and has a hearty appetite. He growls when he eats, but is all "bark" and no bite.

Twiggy, the Four-Eared Cat
Wait, do the ears coming out of her rear count?
Heh. Those are Edie's (and Iggy's) ears behind her.
But here's a real four-eared cat. (Only two of his ears are functional.)

Rudy's almost here!
Here's Rudy in a motel in Denver with some C.R.O.W. folks, after traveling almost 1300 miles. He'll travel his last 230 miles to his new home at C.R.O.W. tomorrow.
He is eight months old and a petite 4 pounds. Because he has grown up in a cage, he hasn't mastered the wide legged CH walk and the skillful ruddering of his tail. He'll get there, though. Right now he's sleeping in a blanket nest, resting from his journey.
We'll share the details of his travel log after we receive them from his original transporter. In the meantime, thanks to Colleen in TN and Tom the Trucker for getting him 1300 miles closer to us. You rock!

That's Devotion
I gave my cat a bath the other day. They love it. He just sat there and enjoyed it. It was fun for me. The fur kept sticking to my tongue, but other than that...

Cat Saga in Southern California
Have you heard about this?
For years over 130 feral cats have been living in the old buildings of the Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center. Volunteers with Fail-Safe 4 Felines have been caring for them, feeding them, microchipping them, and getting them fixed. In the past year only 2 litters were born, both of which were pulled out by volunteers and quickly adopted out. They're good!
However, now the Los Angeles County animal control officers are trapping the cats with the intent of clearing out the entire colony. They have no plans to relocate them, but rather to have them killed. Fortunately, the battle has been raging between the county and the cats for long enough that Fail-Safe 4 Felines has gotten many of the cats microchipped.
When shelter staff scans the cats and get the information from the microchips, they call Fail-Safe 4 Felines who comes and bails them out. This won't get all the cats, so volunteer are also watching the animal control traps and then bailing out cats once they get brought in. In addition, they are doing some trapping of their own and have saved over a dozen cats.
Fail-Safe 4 Felines is working hard to prevent the mass killing of this feral colony and we applaud them for their efforts. The rescued cats are all getting adopted or going to foster homes. Some will go as mousers to a vineyard, and the rescuers hope that more people will step up to help out.
To any Californians reading, please consider fostering or adoptiong some of these cats, and call your senators today and encourage them to replace trap-kill methods with trap-neuter-release.
