So you have been adopted by a stray cat?
You are not alone!
A large number of the calls we receive for assistance are from
folks feeding a cat that has been hanging around outside.

We can help you in spaying or neutering a cat that you may be feeding near your home, work
or other place. If you have not handled the cat or do not know if the cat is friendly to people, we can provide a live trap
for you to trap the cat to be taken to the vet. - Live trap deposit of $50
per trap, refunded upon return of trap.You may pay with a personal check, it
will not be cashed unless the trap is not returned or is returned damaged.
- Sign
up for one of our transport days to the vet, we will transport the cat to the vet in the live trap and return to you after
surgery. The cost is $35 which includes a rabies vaccination and ear tip. Ferals are ear tipped so that they can be easily
identified as a fixed cat from a distance.

We do not provide adoption services. With the large
number of homeless cats, we focus our efforts on prevention through spaying and neutering.

Shelters and rescue groups are usually full to capacity with cats. Please realize that cats
and kittens that are feral or that are unfriendly to humans are always euthanized if taken to a shelter . Period. Please
make the committment to get the cat fixed and to provide it with food and shelter, and continue to allow it to live on your
property.
Cats can reproduce at 5 months of age! Mother cats with kittens still nursing can get pregnant
while still nursing the first litter. Do not delay getting the cat fixed. In July we had a mother cat with kittens
that were 7 weeks of age, the mother cat was pregnant--again. We also had a cat this summer with 10 kittens. We work with spay/neuter
veterinarians who are trained to spay/neuter kittens at 8 weeks of age if they weigh 2 lbs. We will gladly transport your
stray mother cat and all of her kittens at the same time to be fixed.
