On Wednesday, December 4, 2024, we helped our 140,000th cat at FCCO!
Our milestone kitty is "Minnie Winnie". He came with his sister, Oreo, from Battle Ground, WA, today. They were spayed/neutered along with 72 other cats at our clinic.
Minnie Winnie's story, as told by his caregiver, Jaime:
We have a very large feral cat population in our neighborhood. We had four generations at one point. Minnie Winnie and his sister, Oreo, came from a litter in the summer of 2023.
Oreo was pretty easy to name but we struggled with the little orange one so we called him "Minnie Winnie" because he looked like a smaller version of another cat we named Winston. It was supposed to be a temporary name until we could come up with a better one, but here we are! While we’ve lost other cats, Oreo and Minnie Winnie have held on. They have been very apprehensive about human contact which has made it very difficult to domesticate them, but they live on our back porch.
Minnie Winnie is definitely no longer mini, weighing more than 11 pounds on our scale, but he and Oreo are now both vaccinated, treated for parasites, and spayed/neutered. And they are among 140,000 cats helped at FCCO because of compassionate caregivers, as well as volunteers and donors who make our services possible. Thank you!
