What Are Community Cats?
Community cats are unowned, free-roaming cats who live and thrive outdoors, rather than indoors as pets. We use the term “community cat” because these animals are part of the community in which they live and are valued and often cared for by community residents.
Comprehensive Veterinary Care
Spay/Neuter Surgery
Professional sterilization procedures performed by licensed veterinarians to prevent reproduction and preventable diseases.
Essential Vaccinations
Rabies and FVRCP vaccines to protect cats and the community from preventable diseases.
Left Ear-Tipping
Universal identification showing a cat has been sterilized - a painless procedure during surgery.
Safe Return
Cats are returned to their outdoor homes where they continue to thrive without reproducing.
