free feral cat spay/neuter clinics, which are offered several times a year

subsidized spay/neuter certificate program, which runs year-round

training sessions, which teach effective, safe trapping of feral cats

loaning of humane traps to allow people to safely catch and transport cats to a clinic or vet office for sterilization and vaccinations

How Is the Cat Project Funded?

We rely on volunteer labor and donations from the public to keep our programs running. Our handful of dedicated volunteers work very hard to raise the money to fund our clinics and subsidized spay/neuter program. Please see our Ways to Help page for more information on how you can help us continue to offer this service.
