Our vision is to have a community where no kittens are born wild on the street, no cat  capable of living in a home is lacking one, and no feral cats are wanting for food, water,  and appropriate care and concern.

CCAP FUNDRAISER UPDATE
 
We are almost there!

Thank you to so many of the supporters that have already given to our Community Cat Adoption Program. We are so close to our goal and are so happy!

Even though we've closed intake, we are still overflowing with kittens and are still in fundraising mode. These funds will help our CCAP volunteers and fosters provide for the cats/kittens currently in our care. 

Please consider donating now to help us reach our goal!  Click HERE to visit our fundraising page. Thank you!






Why should I donate?


Pictured here are Gigi and her mom, Gemma. SAFCC received a helpline call for pregnant cat stuck in a 
warehouse. SAFCC volunteer Sandy went the same day after work and caught cat to take for spay surgery 
the next morning. Mom had other plans and delivered five kittens that evening. Unfortunately, all but one kitten, Gigi, died. They were very tiny and were probably premature. 

Sandy is going to add mom to her back yard colony and CCAP is accepting the kitten to adopt out once she becomes bigger and healthy. This story encompasses all elements of what SAFCC does: trap, rescue, foster and adopt.

Please help us to continue to help community cats like Gemma and Gigi by donating to our Community Cat Adoption Program fundraiser HERE.

Thank you!


ADL clinic closures

ADL informed us they will need to cancel feral cat spay/neuter surgeries for:  

Wednesday August 16  and  Friday August  18.

Good news! Wednesday capacity has been increased to 30 cats per day! This is a combination of ferals and pets.

Thanks to SAPA! and PetSmart for donated carriers 

PetSmart donated more pet carriers than San Antonio Pets Alive! had room to store so being the generous partner that SAPA! is--they offered them to local rescue groups for free! Our Adoption Program will put these carriers to good use! Thank you SAPA!, for paying it forward! 
Please sign up to be a Petco volunteer 

We need to recruit more Petco cleaners for all four Petco stores. It is more important than ever for us to keep these stores going so we can promote our cats and kittens in foster care.


All it takes is two hours a week to make a difference in these cats' lives, providing fresh food and water, cleaning the cubicles and scooping litter. Our Petco volunteers enjoy spending time with the kittens and look forward to their day to clean! Please consider joining our group of Petco volunteers today!
