Community Cats (Feral & Stray)
All cats must have a reservation prior to trapping.
If this is an urgent matter regarding a feral or stray cat who is sick, injured or pregnant, please fill out this form so we have all your information and then call us at (855) FCC-CATS to leave a message. This phone line is reserved for urgent calls and we will return your call as quickly as possible. If it is after normal business hours and a true emergency, please click here link: emergencies.
Trap-Neuter-Return is the only proven and humane method for controlling the feral and stray cat populations. Removing cats is not only cruel, but it is almost always deadly for the cat and only leaves space for new cats to come in and take their place. Spaying and neutering will help eliminate unwanted behaviors such as spraying, fighting, in-heat howling and overpopulation.
Our TNR program is for unowned free roaming cats who are living outdoors with no known owner and will be returning back outside after surgery. This program is free to the community thanks to the generosity of our donors. Every community cat will receive spay/neuter, an ear tip, tattoo, vaccines, flea treatment and occasionally deworming. They will also have minor medical needs addressed.
