Sage is a tortie West Paris TNR community cat with bright, intelligent eyes and an independent streak. She looks like she belongs in the woods, and honestly she does. She was trapped, neutered, and returned to the West Paris colony where she is doing well.
Torties like Sage are almost always female due to the genetics of coat color, which makes them particularly important to TNR efforts. Neighborhood Cats notes that spaying female cats is the highest-impact intervention in any colony stabilization effort since a single unspayed female and her offspring can produce dozens of cats over a few years. Sage is one less multiplier in the equation.
Sage came to us through the West Paris TNR Program. For more on stray cat law in Maine, see the Stray Cat Law in Maine post.
