Becky Crowell Cummings

Becky Crowell Cummings

Secretary

Becky has always loved animals, especially cats since she was a child! Her family always had them growing up. But her passion for them truly began when she was 10 and her neighbor’s cat had kittens. Becky visited every day and one of them decided he was Becky’s. “Fluffy” followed her home. He was a solid white “Fluffy” Ragdoll mix that lived to be 15.
Becky became a volunteer 19 years ago doing TNR with Forgotten Felines of Forsyth. Since then Becky has trapped hundreds of kitties, many of them not feral and worked to find them homes. Becky met Lydia Hall through a mutual friend and began fostering for TTR.

Becky presently assists TTR with monitoring messages, posting on FB and managing the TNR (trap-neuter-return) program for TTR.

Becky has 4 kitties of her own, a dog and 8 “cat house kitties” that include Tiny Tigers, Teagen and Boyd.
She has 2 grown children, a son and daughter, and 4 grandchildren, 2 girls and 2 boys, ranging in ages from 3-19.
