Fires a dart that puts an enemy to sleep. If that means nabbing and fostering kittens or leaving them all in place, we will have to judge on the basis of our resources at the time.

The landlord discovered this and said they had to go. We were contacted 4 days before the deadline. Luckily one of our volunteers had the use of space to house them temporarily.

Most were able to be loaded into carriers by the caretaker, one had to be trapped. These 8 cats would sing okay, yowl most of the night for the first 3 nights — this happens as cats try to make themselves feel better about such a huge change.

They suddenly became more settled on the 4th day, only one continuing to yell — but that seemed to be because she wanted to be petted! A man was threatening to shoot the ferals in his yard. He wasn't going to change, cats needed to be trapped and removed. They seem to come from down the street, we'll be pursuing that location as soon as we can for TNR. First cat turned out to be quite friendly, 2nd is not super feral, we'll see.

With these, we've done 11 cats so far in February, 15 for , our grand total is 12,! Again, we are dragging our feet on further surgeries until the weather improves around the end of March. Another Microchips Are Forever Story — In May , we removed a total of 19 cats from a trailer in Plainfield, back when we were more likely to do hoarding situations. Those cats had a range of outcomes. Some were too feral and were relocated to a pig sanctuary that needed cats to cope with mice in the grain storage area.

Microchips are forever and we have new information about Honey. She was adopted thru Feral Fixers. We had no place to put her ! What a long road and we're very glad to have played a part in it! We knew there was more to petting a cat than just making the CAT happy, right? Turns out it increases our endorphins, making US happy, too! Does having one cat make us want more because of our physical response? I will admit to wanting more snow than in previous years so that we could have some great candidates for our Holiday card this year.

I did not ask for this much, I'm sure of it! Please don't waste this opportunity to catch pictures of your ferals and have the opportunity to share your special feral with thousands of others! Please send your high definition, clear photo to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Make sure we can see the eartip and there is some snow in the pic, our only criteria! We first rented our storage unit in after "The Flood.

Then the rental cost went up every year. Low and behold, there's a Public Storage on the corner, less than two blocks from the building! Indoor facility, so the unit door won't ice up, and we're starting out 40 bucks cheaper a month.

We have so much equipment that doesn't get used year-long, we need this! Hmm, would anyone like to donate specifically for our storage unit?

Not earth-shattering change, but we now have a dumpster! And a contract for our snow-plowing! I'm figuring that most people don't have any idea what those things cost when you own a building? The snow removal, now, that was an eye-opener. Additional cost for heavier snowfalls. Again, these are consistent expenses, and any help with them would be greatly appreciated!

While we are not actively trapping, things happen. One caretaker did not get the memo and brought an older kitten past taming into his bathroom and wanted her spayed. Another feral had severe bite injuries to both front paws and one ear but was otherwise healthy. The January total is 4 cats, year-to-date is four cats, and our total since our start is 12,! We do not plan to do additional surgeries until the end of February, and those are situations we already know about.

We will still be saying no, wait until the end of March. Ziggy is the feral who was neutered at Glen Ellyn Animal Hospital, and at the same time his injuries were cared for. Winter is very hard on us at Feral Fixers, so many animals end up sick and injured at the end of the year — it's like they have used up all their oompf.

It sounds like a lot but has been life-saving for Ziggy. As with most ferals when first coming in from the outside, he ate like crazy after surgery but has since relaxed and started eating a normal amount now.

No indication that he wishes to be an indoor cat, but we'll see. That shouldn't always be what we rely on to make our decisions. Intoxicating chemicals in catnip and silver vine protect felines from mosquito bites. The results also demonstrate that engaging with nepetalactol, which the study identified as the most potent of many intoxicating iridoid compounds found in silver vine, activates the opioid reward system in both domesticated felines and big jungle cats.

While nepetalactol had been previously identified, these studies directly illuminate its extremely potent effect on cats. And by revealing the biological significance of well-known feline behaviors, the study opens the door to further inquiry into how nepetalactol's twin effects - pest repellence and intoxication - may have driven the evolution of these behaviors. I had never heard of silver vine before this article — it's indigenous to China and Korea, but since this article, I have seen advertisements of cat toys made with silver vine.

I had also heard of people rubbing catnip on themselves to repel mosquitoes. So glad there has been more research on the effects of catnip — there's a reason for everything!

Plant a patch for your ferals! If nothing else has come of this year it has brought us all new appreciation for what we have, what we have lost and what we are able to do to make things better for ourselves and others.

We appreciate all the people who have continued to care about the cats. Many new caretakers had the time to resolve the cats around them.

Extra time spent at home led to lots of new fosters and some foster failures as those families adopted their fosters, unable to part with them. People spending more time at home led to many more kittens being brought in and the longest "kitten season" we've ever experienced with the extended balmy weather.

We formed tighter bonds with the area rescues as we all went thru the same challenges. There were individual kittens that actually received 40 — 50 inquiries EACH! But each of these kittens go to the best home possible for them as individuals and the alumni stories we receive validate the effort put into that goal. Please take the time to read the foster story included in this newsletter, we have some very impressive volunteers.

Thru it all we kept going as our physical interactions with people are limited and usually outdoors. Our ability to fundraise has been greatly impacted as cat people are much more social with other cat people than one might think and they greatly enjoy our in-person events! We try to wash and disinfect our traps before they go into Winter storage so they can be used immediately in the Spring. We were able to transport them all to the building, the railing spacing on the ramp made it very easy to get them into the building, the new washtub was able to hold 4 traps 3 large, 1 small at once, so simple!

And there was plenty of room for spraying with a blast of disinfectant, rinsing and shipping off to storage! Raffle helps to replace our Frosty Claws event and provide something our donors will enjoy participating in.

For many reasons, I receive emails from a great many non-profits. That means that I see how they promote their organizations and ask for money. We do our very best to be different, low-volume and specific about our needs. I can't imagine how weary some of you must be, bombarded on a daily basis by every group for human, environmental, political and animal needs.

I could say negative things about those other groups but would instead reaffirm that funds donated to Feral Fixers work to benefit the cats in this geographic area. Surgeries, medications, food, transportation, supplies, a building to house them in, it all goes towards the cats. The percentage of funds used for fundraising administrative costs are often a high percentage of total costs is minimal.

We will never be able to give up fundraising but promise to keep the annoyance to a minimum! Thank you all for your personal messages this year, they are greatly appreciated. Although Dragonite is best known as a bulky attacker, it can fill the role of a defensive Pokemon as well thanks to its natural bulk and great ability. It also becomes Max Airstream during Dynamax, allowing Dragonite to support its team by boosting their speed by 1 stage. Roost is Dragonite's most important move, restoring half of its maximum HP and also removing it's Flying-type for the turn it's used.

This is useful for when you're expecting a super effective Ice or Rock-type move, allowing Dragonite to survive a potentially fatal blow.

We're using a modified defensive EV spread for this Dragonite to capitalize on its natural bulk. Def EVs round out Dragonite's bulk, allowing it to take hits from both its physical and special side. The remaining 8 EVs are split between Sp. Atk and Spd - 4 EVs in Sp. Atk and 4 EVs in Spd , to slightly boost Dragonite's offensive capabilities. We're giving this Dragonite Heavy-Duty Boots. Dragonite faces stiff competition from stronger and faster Dragon-types, so capitalize on its unique traits - its bulkiness and wide movepool.

Dragonite excels as a lead sweeper - the first Pokemon you send out at the start of the battle.

Both Swampert and Scizor appreciate the Dragon Pokemon's key resistances to Grass and Fire-type moves respectively, and both of them can quickly pivot to their partner using Flip Turn and U-Turn.

Swampert fills the role of a hazard setter, setting up Stealth Rock and phazing opposing Pokemon with Yawn. Scizor, on the other hand, threatens both Swampert and Dragonite's checks and counters with its dual Bug and Steel-type moves.

Tier List Updated for March Season! Comment 3 Anonymous 4 months. However, the longer she lived here, the more she realized that Overwatch was responsible for the problems plaguing Cairo.

Thus, Ana rejoined the fight to protect her country from the forces that would destabilize it, and most importantly, to keep her family and her closest allies safe. Continuing her fight for justice, Ana operated under the alias of "Shrike," and was wanted for espionage, assault, and theft in Egypt. Hamid Faisal. She had come back to Egypt in part due to her guilt over the fallout of the Anubis project. Though Ana sided with Jack and forced Reaper to retreat after unmasking him, she was disturbed by his visage and parting words, reminding her that Overwatch had been responsible for their suffering.

Following the encounter Ana explained that she cared about Jack, not the war he was fighting, and resolved to watch over him as the two departed. Ana was left with the realization that Jack and Reyes were actually alive. Still, living or not, Jack had been wounded by Reyes. Hearing the sound of police sirens , they went to ground, staying out of sight.

Still suffering from his wounds, Jack passed out, forcing Ana to take him to her base in the Necropolis. She gave him tea after he woke up. The wound was still giving him trouble, despite his enhanced healing abilities.

Ana suggested that they contact Dr. Angela Ziegler , but Jack refused. The two discussed their pasts and their objectives—Jack was going after Reaper and Talon. However, he needed her help. Ana told him to rest first, and despite Jack's protestations, he passed out—Ana had drugged the tea. Jack was out for two days, over which Ana spent time gathering supplies. She explained her motivations for her actions in Egypt, but claimed that Jack's crusade against Talon was based on revenge.

The two disagreed on how to approach things, with Jack focusing on the larger threat of Talon, while Ana wanted to focus on Cairo.

Jack gave up and stormed out, leaving Ana alone to use his computer. She could see that Jack had been tracing Reaper's movements. Jack returned later in the night, and made a deal—he'd help Ana capture Hakim. After that, they'd go after Reaper. Ana accepted under the condition that they also apprehend Hakim's associates.

Jack agreed. Within a week, they'd rounded up a number of Hakim's associates, whittling away at his organization. After the initial burst, Hakim went to ground, turning their hunt into a waiting game. On stakeout, they finally caught sight of Hakim, at which point Ana took out her Bastet mask. She explained that Jack's Soldier: 76 persona had inspired her.

As "Bastet," she wouldn't be a hunter, but a protector. A week later, Hakim had been captured and his organization dismantled. Ana's actions as "Bastet" had caught the attention of Egypt's media, and even forced the government to act.

At the Necropolis, Ana stated that she'd leave most of the items she'd collected behind, that they'd stay here until she found a caretaker. Jack asked her about Fareeha, pointing out that it would be awhile before they were in Egypt again.

Ana gingerly replied that she'd left a message. Jack told her that Fareeha would come around in time. The two left the Necropolis, Ana still carrying her Bastet mask.

Morrison was still suffering from the gunshot wounds he'd suffered from Reaper, so the two of them were forced to visit Angela Ziegler , currently based in Cairo. Ana made herself at home while Ziegler treated Morrison. That night, an explosion rocked Cairo—Talon had attacked the Temple of Anubis facility. Ziegler relented, and flew overhead as Ana and Morrison made their way through Cairo's streets to the site.

Ana and Morrison engaged in a firefight with the Talon soldiers. During the battle, Morrison caught sight of Reaper. Over the radio, Ziegler told him that Reaper wasn't their concern, that they had people to save, but Morrison wasn't listening. He headed into the smokey haze that covered the site, with Ana warily covering his back. They later found Ziegler, helping her and the children she'd helped rescue from the rubble.

The next day, they met up with Ziegler again—they planned to pursue Reaper into Europe. Morrison asked if Ziegler would join them, but Ziegler refused, stating that her place was in Cairo. Ana and Ziegler discussed their respective choices post-Overwatch, including the matter of the recall that Winston had sent out, but she followed Morrison in his pursuit.

Ana was the first hero added to the game after its launch. Blizzard began with the knowledge that they needed another healer, since Lucio and Mercy were showing up in every game. A concept was the Alchemist, a character who could drink from a decanter and then jump really high, or provide an extra-long heal over time.

Her backstory positioned her as a crack sniper, but the game already had Widowmaker. It was thus decided that the hero would be both a healer and a crack shot, using her rifle both offensively and defensively.

The Alchemist concept was phased out within a few weeks. The designers wanted to show her as someone who was rugged and resourceful, living on the edges of society. Her "Wasteland" skin is based entirely around this idea. Strap, pipe, and cannister designs in the skin were used to emphasize a character that was scrounging anything she could to survive. Prior to being revealed, it was widely speculated that Ana and Sombra were the same character, resulting from the photographs of her Shrike mask being misidentified as Sombra.

Several PR assets on Blizzard's press center website for Ana are labeled "Shrike" instead of "Ana", suggesting that her placeholder name during development was Shrike. Ana was teased on Temple of Anubis , with an opened document picturing her wearing her Shrike mask. Biotic Grenade. Developer Comment: A significant number of Biotic Grenades are blocked by allies accidentally intercepting it.
