Henrietta of Craigville Beach. While NESAA was rescuing a colony at Craigville Beach, a new cat arrived. She was a beautiful, long-haired, black & white cat watching our efforts. We noticed she was blind in one eye & had what looked like a severe injury to her nose. Fortunately, we captured her & we rushed her to the vet. She was confirmed blind in one eye, her nose injury was actually squamous cell carcinoma (an aggressive cancer). She had a large abdominal hernia that appeared to be due to an animal bite. It was also discovered she was in renal failure, her paws were yellow & stained from a chemical. She was transported to an oncology group near Boston where it was sadly discovered her cancer had spread through her lungs & 1 lung was partially collapsed. Our hopes were shattered for treatment. She was put in hospice care with a loving foster home for 6 weeks. She gained 1 lb. & received love that she had never seen in her life. We sadly lost Henrietta 3/16.
CeCe of Yarmouth. NESAA provided complete medical care to Cece. She belongs to a family in Yarmouth who were unable to afford the cost of spay/neuter/vaccinations. NESAA was created to serve abandoned animals and assit families who cannot afford medical care for their animal friends.
Avery is a feral cat from Plymouth. Complete medical care provided and returned to colony. He is doing great with a committed caretaker.
Benjamin is a feral cat from Plymouth. Complete medical care was provided to Benjamin and he was returned to his colony. He is doing great!
Christopher of Hyannis. A NESAA volunteer was watching & trying to rescue a pregnant feral cat, as she knew she was going to give birth any day. Christopher's mom suddenly disappeared. The volunteer, determined to rescue the mother cat & her babies, walked around buildings, & looked under bushes for hrs. Once dark she decided to continue her search in the a.m. At sunrise the volunteer headed to an abandoned, caved in, barn. She looked in every crawl space when she saw 2 cement blocks stacked at an angle agaist the barn. She knelt & saw something move in the crevice. She reached in the hole & felt thekittens. She pulled them out one by one (total 8), all with their umbilical cords still attached. No more than 12 hrs old, she wrapped them in her jacket and set a havahart trap. Within 6 hrs. she got mom, and reuinted her with her babies. All were fostered until the age for adoption & all were provided with medical care. Mom was returned to her colony site & she is being cared for by a wonderful caregiver.
Charlie Girl is a tragic story to remember so we as a community will strive for humane changes. Charlie came from Main St., Hyannis. When Charlie was a kitten her mother had gone into a abandoned local business for shelter with her kittens. When the owner of the business (in your community) found her and her kittens he then proceeded to stun her with a shovel then heartlessly and cruely stomped her to her death. Once finished he flung her by her tail into the dumpster. All to be witnessed by her babies and a elderly woman who had been feeding them. These kittens including Charlie scattered for their lives. This business owner could not catch them and proceeded to leave the building. The traumatized elderly woman went to a near by business for help! They were also horrified and fearlessly went into the building and rescued the kittens. This tragic story is why you as a community member MUST participate in making changes. We are pursuing how to press charges against this individual.
Blonde of Craigville Beach. A feral cat, she was given complete medical care and returned to her colony with a wonderful caregiver to feed and monitor her.
Mimi was found by a wonderful citizen in a basement window well in Hyannis. Mimi came to us starving and no more than a few days old. She was placed with a wonderful feral mother cat in foster care. This mother cat, named Molly, took mimi as her own. Mimi was nursed until she was weaned and adopted to a loving family in Yarmouth
Charlie of Hyannis. Charlie's mother came from Hyannis. She came into foster care ready to give birth, which she did within 24 hours in our care. Charlie and his 2 siblings were fostered and then adopted to wonderful families. Charlie's mother, Molly, was given medical care and sent to a sanctuary to live the rest of her life. Her colony area was too dangerous for her to be returned.
Big Boy from Craigville Beach is a feral cat we provided complete medical care for. His disfigured ear is from years of ear mite infestation which is the precurser to the deformity. His mites have been treated. Big Boy has been returned to his colony and doing great.
Tiny Tim was found by one of our volunteers while performing a rescue at a colony in Hyannis. She walked by a window well and she found curled up, lying on old shingles and leaves, a tiny tiger kitten, with remnants of his umbilical cord still attached. She wrapped him in her shirt. Luckily one of our foster families had a nursing mother cat and this wonderful feral mother cat without hesitation took Tiny Tim as her own. She nursed him until he was weaned and was of age to be adopted. Mother cats will take in abandoned kittens as their own. Another reason to understand the amazing complex lifes of feral cats .
Angel Boy from Hyannis was found under a truck, crying & soaking wet, one evening in a Hyannis parking lot. A brave volunteer crawled under the truck & carried Angel Boy to her car. He was brought to one of NESAA's foster homes. It was soon discovered that he had been declawed & could not fend for himself. He was skin and bone's & obviously had been starving for weeks or months. He had mattes, the size of baseballs, all over his body. Fleas covered his fragile body. Angel was brought to the vet first thing in the morning. The Vet confirmed our worst fears, he had been starving for a while. He was also anemic from having been infested with so many fleas. He was given complete medical care, bathed & placed in a loving foster family care to recover. As you can see Angel Boy has recovered beautifully & after months of eating right & receiving the love & care he deserves, he was adopted to a loving family in Mashpee.
Clementine came from a feral colony in Hyannis. One of NESAA's foster families helped to socialize her. After being treated for tape worms she was able to feel better and gain weight. Soon after, Clementine was adopted to a loving family. NESAA works hard to educate the public on how important it is to provide medical care to adopted animal friends and abandoned animals. NESAA ensures that all animals are given the highest level of care .

NESAA volunteers worked around the clock to capture, Louie, his 3 sisters and parents from under a porch in Osterville. Louie and his siblings were fostered medically cared for and adopted to amazing families. The parents were placed in a sanctuary (sanctuaries are reserved for very special cases were a feral cat would be in danger if returned to its colony).

Freddie was rescued from behind an apartment complex in Centerville. It was told to one of our volunteer rescue workers that Freddie was owned by someone for 11 years, when this person decided to move away they left freddie behind to fend for himself. For 3 additional years Freddie lived in a box under a porch of the apartment complex, getting handouts of food when he could from neighbors.
