Folks, we are nearing the 2500 mark for cats TNR'ed! That is absolutely amazing!
We've been helping with more than TNR, too. A few cats that we've picked up have had some health problems. Two of them have a condition called "pododermatitis", which is either hypersensitivity or an auto-immune disorder resulting in swollen pads. It can get quite severe, but medications do help. Here's a .pdf to read more about it, and see some examples:

Another sad little kitten was found by some concerned neighbors, who contacted Safe Cats Coalition. It was thought that the kitten had a broken jaw, but the vet said it was a degloved jaw. Her jaw has healed nicely, and she (Martha) lives and plays with Kiki. Here are Kiki and Martha:
