This update is long overdue, and I sincerely apologize for the delay.
The year 2024 marked a significant shift for GFF. With the shelter closed, we redirected our efforts towards assisting low-income households in getting their cats spayed or neutered—households that otherwise would not have had the means to do so. We issued 491 certificates, and out of those, 454 successfully had their cats fixed in 2024. We anticipate processing the remaining certificates within the first few months of 2025. Of the 454 cats that were fixed last year, 277 were females.
Additionally, in 2024, our foster rescue program helped 50 kittens, and we managed to spay or neuter 170 community cats. This brings the total to 674 cats that were fixed in 2024. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who donated to our organization; without your support, we wouldn't have a TNR program, low-cost services, or a rescue initiative. Your contributions are crucial to ensuring that more cats can be fixed.
Our low-cost spay and neuter program is a proactive measure, while our rescue and TNR efforts are reactive to existing issues. By encouraging cat owners to fix their pets, we can prevent the birth of kittens that contribute to feral colonies or require rescue. If you have a cat in need of spaying or neutering but cannot afford it, please reach out to local organizations for assistance.
In the meantime, God’s Feral Felines is urgently seeking funds to maintain our programs, as donations have decreased by 75%. Already in 2025, we are working with two feral colonies housing 60 cats between them, with additional requests for help coming in. We have already issued 45 certificates. Your support for these cats is urgently needed. Donations can be made via Venmo at -Cats, through PayPal at [email protected], or by mailing a check to P.O. Box 1065, Arab, AL 35016. The cats are depending on you. Picture for attention.
