Last Sunday morning, I noticed a plea from a neighbor, about an injured community cat.
I messaged, saying I have humane traps to share.
My neighbor lives two blocks away, so I dropped off the trap and showed them how to use it.

I was texted that the trapping was successful, and they were on their way to the lost cost spay/neuter clinic nearby a day later.
Word was that Eightball's injury was severe, but some antibiotics, stitches, and a day or two of rest would do the trick.
He was also neutered, the 'N' in TNR.
I picked up the trap after Eightball was released Friday morning, with his info written on a piece of tape.
And surprise!
While on my evening walk that day, I spied Eightball a street away.
Black cat, with a huge shaved area...that's him!
I'll keep my eyes peeled for future sightings while out and about in the 'hood.
I've made a donation to All About Animals Rescue in Eightball's name; they are a important resource for our community.
I've turned off the comments for this post, as this was all handled by Eightball's carer; she feeds about four community cats, plus has four cats inside.
Our trap may have made it possible, but we did little to make this one cat's life better; our neighbor did the heavy lifting.
Purrs for Eightball.

The Hubby and I thank all who wished him a Happy Birthday!
