RCR values the connections we have with feral cats

March 9th, 2024 was a hard day for RCR volunteers as we lost one of our own after many years. Abe was a long time community cat who appeared to be hit by a car, devastating many RCR volunteers who cared for him regularly.

Abe was born a feral kitten, one of 4 from his litter. At the time, RCR didn’t have many foster homes that would take on feral kittens to socialize, so he was trapped, neutered
when old enough and released.

Volunteers would drive by and look for him almost everyday, stopping to feed him
or drop off treats, which were his favorite.

Over the years, he lost his siblings, including his sister Mary, the garage he called home for 7 years burned down, and he always had to watch his back from the happenings on the street.

Abe stayed true to his feral nature, coming close to the people he saw weekly but always far enough to feel safe. He was a chatty cat, telling you about his day while waiting for his treats. Even though you can’t touch feral cats, they still become just like one of your own. They come when called, know your schedule and talk to you.

Abe leaves behind his friend named Bear that has been with him for many years.

No more struggles for you sweet Abe, rest in peace. We will always love you.
