Tioga County Cat Project reaches milestone

ELKLAND — More cats and kittens in Tioga county have received a second chance at a better life, including the 1,000th cat spayed on Friday, July 22 at The Hub on Main Street, Elkland.

Thanks to the Tioga County Cat Project, a total of 38 felines were to receive their surgery, a rabies vaccination and get their left ear tipped, if requested. Ear tipping denotes a sterile feline when found outdoors.

Unfortunately, one kitten was too sick to receive treatment and did not survive.

Another, an eight-week old female calico named Reese, became the 1,000 cat “fixed” by TCCP, formerly known as the Elkland Cat Project.

“Reese didn’t start out with a very good chance at living a full life, or maybe even a life at all,” said Linda Jeffery, one of TCCP’s board members and foster to Reese.

“At only three days old, Reese was found by my cousin. A large male cat on Grimmes Road in Sabinsville was walking with her in its mouth.”

With no other kittens nearby and no mother in sight, Jeffery and her cousin saved Reese from what could have been a cruel death.

Jeffery, now calling herself and her husband “foster failures,” have officially adopted Reese.

“We have fostered many animals and Reese was to be no exception,” Jeffery said.
