slow the birthrate and improve the lives of existing feral catsC.A.T. (Cat Assistance Team)

Our HAPPY CAT  program combines strategies to limit population growth while providing warm, dry shelter, clean bedding, and fresh food and water daily to existing feral colonies.

To control the population explosion of stray and feral cats, we employ a safe-trapping strategy, minimizing the time a cat spends in a trap, and ensuring the trap is covered to limit their fear. Cats are promptly taken to one of three area vets where they are examined for health issues, spayed or neutered (altered), given shots to prevent disease, and then released back to their own colony as soon as possible, which we are assured provides the best recovery opportunity for the cats. In the absence of sufficient funds to alter 200 cats at once, on vet advice, we are focussing our efforts on males first, as they will continue to defend their colony from non-fixed males, thus further reducing pregnancies.

With less births, better health, and daily comforts, we are truly making HAPPY CATS.
