Adding some complexity to the situation, a neighboring cat colony has joined the group of abandoned kitties. With most of these 40-50 kitties not spayed or neutered, and kitten season fast approaching, our mission has become even more critical.
With the help of our rescue partners, we are evaluating each cat’s individual needs to determine the best course of action. Whether it’s Trap Neuter and Return (TNR) for the feral kitties, placement in our adoption center for the socialized cats, or enrollment in our Cat Care and Enrichment program for the less-socialized kitties in the group, we are prepared to help however we can.
As the situation unfolds, we’ll need to have resources available. The medical needs of the abandoned cats have already been significant. The colony cats also need veterinary exams and routine care, and many may require more involved medical treatment. Providing spay and neuter surgeries costs us a few hundred dollars per cat. And housing cats at our Adoption Center — and providing food, litter, and other necessary supplies — costs much more than what their adoption fee covers.
In short, we need your help. Your donations will immediately be used towards this complex and costly effort. Can you help us give them a second chance?
