Meet The Ferals, Happy, and Miracle.
The Ferals belong to one of the many feral cat colonies FFoM provides assistance to through our trap, neuter, return program (TNR). After trapping, neutering and releasing them back to their colony, the colony caregiver then provides food, water and shelter so that the cats can live out their natural life. Due to attrition, the colony will shrink over time.
Happy is an innocent. He and his five other - day old siblings and mother were left abandoned in a box by a dumpster New Year's Eve day 2013. They were found by the dumpster owner who administered warming procedures by the instruction of a local veterinarian. Forgotten Felines of Maine was called and the family was taken for emergency vet care. Since this time, 4 of the kittens have died due to negligence and abuse by the person who left them outside to freeze to death. For weeks, Happy and his sibling, Faith, struggled to survive despite round the clock care from FFoM's Executive Director, Pamela Hansberry.
Miracle is truly that. Miracle was hit by a car and did not receive veterinary care for 10 days. He was near death and required a shunt for collapsed lungs, tail amputation and special care for his severely damaged leg. He is recuperating still.
