Programs

Trap Neuter Return (TNR): We are active supporters of TNR animal control programs and implement our version of TNR in all of our colonies. 

We will help you trap your feral cats/kittens, arrange for transport to/from either the Alabama Spay-Neuter Clinic or to one of our vet sponsors and then help you release your animals back into their environment once they have been fixed.

We do not have a facility to house rescue animals so we can't take unwanted animals off your hands.  You need to have a plan for what you want to do with your rescue cats/kittens before we will stat the trapping process.

Also, we will not transport rescue cats/kittens to an animal control facility.  These facilities have a history of immediately destroying feral cats which is a practice we do not condone.

So what is the big deal about TNR?  In two of our colonies we have been able to stabilize the feral cat population (actually reducing the population by 25% with adoptions in one case). We were experiencing a 30% growth in these colonies before aggressively implementing the TNR program. 

Bottom Line: It will save us hundreds of dollars per year in food and has reduced the number of vet trips for serious injuries from cat fights , etc.  The quality of life for our colonies has also improved drastically.  All of our feral cats have experienced weight gain and are much healthier than in the previous 12-18 months.

Basic Kitten Care - Tools to help you with successfully integrate your new kitten into your family. 

We will provide assistance with orphan kittens that have not been completely weaned from the queen.  We don't have a location to house and care for these newborns yet but we can offer practical advise based on "been there, done that" experience.  We can share with you how to care for the newborns to give them the greatest chance of survival.

Trapping 101 - Educational program to share with you how to successfully trap kittens/cats and how to develop a plan for their survival.  If you have an interest in doing something practical to address the cat overpopulation problem please come and help us trap and fix unwanted cats/kittens.

You Are Not Alone - We are setting up a Blog so that you can get support and advice from other local people with experience in taking care of feral cats/kittens.  It seems that he hardest thing to find is someone that can help with simple, practical advice.
