When Gail Churchill’s beloved kitty Bertie died, it hurt so much she swore she’d never adopt another cat. Then along came Jonesy.
After the surgeries she brought them home to recover and be fostered. Three turned out to be too feral for adoption, so they went back to the kind man’s backyard, where they will likely be fed and cared for every day for the rest of their lives. However, the last kitten was a little orange male tabby that was loving, friendly, engaging and as sweet and can be.Fall in love she did, though, and she fell hard. She named him Jonesy, after Sigourney Weaver’s orange cat in the “Alien” movies.
“Want a hot tip for adopting a cat?” she says. “Make it an orange male. My vet calls them the golden retriever of cats.” There’s just one solution: Attack the problem from the supply side and prevent those unwanted kittens from being born in the first place. That’s what ICRA does. Volunteers humanely trap cats and kittens and whisk them off to a vet for spay or neuter surgery and medical and dental checkups.
