So sad to see so many homeless animals. Meow Ministry supports TNR to ease the rate of cat reproduction and overpopulation.

Janine was recently hit by a woman while she was on a round of feeding. She fell backward and was seriously injured, breaking her hip and an arm. She was hospitalized for a week, and is now recovering at home. Meanwhile, Meow Ministry has dropped off dry food, cases of wet food, and several cat mats knitted at Messiah Lutheran Church. Janine's feeder fill-ins will not be empty handed. Please send healing vibes and prayers to her. 🙏💕

Janine of Janine the Bean Rescue was recently attacked on April 1, while feeding a long-time colony of cats. A woman viciously attacked her, running up and smashing her face, followed by Janine falling and breaking a hip and a wrist. The Rochester Police were notified. This was unprovoked and outrageous, and justice needs to be served. Prayers for all involved, and help for these feral cats.

I’m writing this from the hospital after a very traumatic morning.

I was trying to help an animal, on my way into work, doing something I’ve done many times before—leaving the only food these cats (on Parsells Ave) would be able to eat for another 24 hours. Before I even reached the porch, of what I believed was a vacant house , a woman rushed out and violently attacked me. She smacked me as hard as she could on my face causing me to fall down an incline backwards onto the sidewalk, breaking my hip and wrist. I didn't even have time to say stop. I lay in the mud and pouring rain for 10 minutes before a man heard me and came to my aid..

I’m shaken, hurt, and honestly heartbroken for the four cats that will now not have food. No act of kindness should end this way.

Please be careful. And please remember—compassion should never be met with violence.

Ps, she told police I tripped and fell.
Pss, going into surgery soon.
