Feral Fam Lost and Found
Hisses to Kisses Initiative
TNR and homeless cat adoption story
Peace Corner Community commits to humane treatment and care of feral cats. Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs. Supplying essential needs for local community cats. Ensuring these animals can live healthy lives. Without contributing to overpopulation. While enjoying a safe space to rest.
When a cat shows interest, every effort made to socialize for family life indoors. If the cat is friendly, shows up at all hours over a period of time with no ear tip (meaning not TNR), is scooped and taken to a foster. Checked for chip.
We contribute a donation to the adoption fee. Helping the new family with a kind beginning to indoor love.
Tax deductible donations made via the link in the footer, or in person are very welcome.
100% of funds are for care of the cats in Wellington Heights. Hisses to Kisses initiative rehab and socialization program, or TNR neighborhood cats.
We are working to support Animal Care and Control's new legislative push to TNR, not euthanize. This opens doors. Like, for feral mamma caring for her kittens to be TNR'ed if she struggles being friendly. Colony care teams can continue to work on socialization.
Please let us know if you have any questions via text or email.
Floofe' Ramen Noodle Flower's Story
How a kitten changes a community.
Inspires a need for Hisses to Kisses Initiative.
In 2022, lying dead on the curb is a kitten. Deceased before we could get back from dropping off a neighbor. Having heard about kittens under a porch planned to borrow a small trap, get the kittens, and find homes.
Sad to say we lost one. The other, trapped within an hour. Because neighbors came together. Donating use of a kitten sized trap. Starving and depleted in appearance. Above is the day one picture. And, one year later photo. Floofe' is on a 5K mile road trip to the west coast and southern states.
A commitment to TNR Floofe's mom is made if we can find her.
In summer of 2023, a tiny kitten shows up needing water. Who brings her mom. The rest of the colony shows up. Care is provided. This is the birth of the Hisses to Kisses Initiative.
Floofe's three-legged mom became known as Mamma Cat on a neighbor’s porch when she began eating with a bonded pair being socialized in winter of 2024-25. Estimated at six years old by the vet, mothered a large portion of local cats over several years is discovered.
On Mother’s Day 2025, Mamma Cat brings two kittens to meet the neighbor. One is successfully scooped. The other is too allusive to trapped. The scooped kitten meets her older sibling.
Both Mamma Cat, renamed Chiquita for her tiny frame and what a darling she is, and daddy were trapped and are enrolled in the Hisses to Kisses socialization program. SmokE Nator and Chiquita Nator are doing very well as of this posting and will continue to be supported to thrive as couple.
Several neighbors have different set ups on the Hisses to Kisses team, both indoor and outdoor.
If cats are pair bonded they are adopted together. Social life is important to former colony cats. Helps them thrive and their new family care for them socially.
Peace Corner donation garden offers shaded spaces during exhaustive summer heated days for community cats. When you walk or drive by may see one on a garden bed, resting under trellis shade, or napping on a hidden cushioned bench in the paver garden surrounded by produce.
Feral and stray cats in the garden offer lessons in compassion. Local children take an interest in the well-being of the homeless cats. Education of feral and stray cat support helps reduce community cats and colonies. Finding homes for the homeless. And, a happier neighborhood of helpers caring for the disenfranchised felines.
