Sun City Cats Did It Again…100 Cats Humanely Trapped This Past Weekend!

Our team had an incredibly busy weekend, and we're so proud to share that 100 cats were humanely trapped. Of those, 98 were sterilized and vaccinated through our program, helping prevent future litters and improve the health of our community cats.

A huge thank you to our amazing team members who continue to be the silent heroes on our streets helping the cats and the community.

If you've ever thought about helping, now is the time. We urgently need more people to:

Volunteer
Donate

We have several important situations we're currently working on, and we need more support so we can dedicate our time and resources where they're needed most.

Thank you to every partnership, volunteer, foster, donor, veterinarian, and supporter who makes this lifesaving work possible. We couldn't do it without you.

We Desperately need your help!

Sun City Cats is in dire need of dedicated caregivers, who can help feed colonies.

Every single day, community cats across El Paso depend on dedicated volunteers for something many of us take for granted: fresh food and clean water.

Right now, Sun City Cats is looking for compassionate volunteers who can commit to just one day a week (or another regular schedule) to help care for managed cat colonies.

You don’t need special experience—just a caring heart and a little time.

If you’ve been looking for a meaningful way to give back to your community, this is it.

Together, we can ensure no community cat goes hungry or without fresh water.

This Is How We Make a Difference!

A huge shoutout to our Sun City Cats team for another incredible few days of helping community cats!

Last Saturday, we held another successful TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) clinic, where 50 cats received care and a healthier future through our program. Every cat helped is one step closer to reducing overpopulation and improving the lives of community cats. We’re so grateful to everyone who made this clinic possible.

And that’s not all!

Yesterday, our trapping team took on a special assignment outside our usual service area—and they absolutely crushed it with a perfect 15-for-15 success rate! Fifteen cats safely trapped and recovering from TNR surgery.  We couldn’t be prouder of our dedicated trappers. Your hard work, commitment, and compassion make an incredible impact.

We have many more exciting updates to share soon, but right now, we need your help. Sun City Cats is in urgent need of additional volunteers to continue this lifesaving work. Whether you can help occasionally or on a regular basis, every volunteer makes a difference for the cats who depend on us.

Thank you for your continued support. Together, we're creating a brighter future for community cats—one cat at a time.

🎉🙌 Great job, team! 💪👏

100 cats 🐈 TNR'd in just two clinics!

A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers, caregivers, and veterinary staff for making our last two TNR clinics such a success. Thanks to your dedication and hard work, 100 community cats were spayed/neutered and vaccinated, helping create a healthier future for cats across El Paso and the surrounding areas.

We may be quiet on social media at times but that's because behind the scenes we're constantly trapping, transporting, fostering, educating, and caring for cats in need. Our team works tirelessly to help as many cats as possible, as quickly as possible—because every life matters.

We need your help! We're always looking for additional volunteers to join our mission. If you'd like to make a difference in the lives of community cats, we'd love to have you on our team. ❤️

If you're unable to volunteer, please consider making a donation. Every contribution, no matter the size, goes directly toward medical expenses and helps us continue providing care to cats who need it most. Your support truly makes this work possible.

30,000 Lives Changed…A Milestone for Sun City Cats!

Our vision of improving the lives of community cats has evolved into a tangible reality. Sun City Cats has officially humanely TNR’ed over 30,000 cats!

What began as a commitment to protect the most vulnerable and often overlooked feline populations has reached a significant milestone. Through our dedication and passion, we have now spayed, neutered, and vaccinated over 30,000 cats, ensuring they lead healthier lives.

This achievement represents more than just a statistic, it signifies a massive reduction in future overpopulation and the prevention of countless animals being born into hardship.

Our progress would not have been possible without the unwavering dedication of our volunteers, the expertise of our spay-neuter partners, and the continued generosity of our donors.

By reaching this milestone, we have successfully prevented a countless number of cats and kittens from ever entering the shelter system, breaking the cycle of overpopulation before it begins.

While we celebrate this success, our work is far from over. We are ready to begin the next chapter and set our sights on the next 30,000. We invite you to continue this journey with us.

Here’s to the next chapter of saving lives!

We NEED your help—right now.

Sun City Cats is in the middle of active Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) efforts across El Paso, and we’re running low on the supplies that make this lifesaving work possible.

Our Amazon Wish List is filled with the essentials we use every single day—food, p*e pads, and trapping supplies. These aren’t “nice to have” items… they are what allow us to safely trap, care for, and return community cats.

Every item donated goes directly into the field and into the hands of volunteers working tirelessly to prevent suffering and reduce overpopulation.

If you’ve ever wanted to make a direct, immediate impact—this is it.

We are incredibly grateful for every single donation, no matter the size. You are truly part of this work with us. ❤️

LET THEM STAY WITH MOM

Sun City Cats is asking everyone in our community to stop pulling or rehoming kittens from their mothers. Even if you think you’ve found them a "good home," taking them too early is a mistake that hurts everyone involved.
The bond between a mother cat and her kittens is vital; separating them before 8 to 12 weeks can be devastating.

Here is why that time is so critical:

🔴 Health & Immunity
Kittens get essential antibodies from their mother's milk that simply cannot be replaced. Removing them too early leads to "failure to thrive," making them vulnerable to severe illness and death.

🔴 Behavioral Issues
Between weeks 4 and 8, kittens learn "how to be a cat." Mom teaches them boundaries and bite inhibition. Kittens taken too soon often grow up to be aggressive, anxious, or poorly adjusted.

🔴 The Mother’s Pain
When kittens are snatched away, the mother cat is left in physical agony. Her milk continues to produce, which can lead to mastitis—a painful and life-threatening infection. She also suffers immense emotional distress searching for her babies.

🔴 The "Street Cat" Cycle
The reason our streets have many cats is a human problem. When people take kittens but leave the mother behind unspayed, she can become pregnant again almost immediately. This creates a never-ending cycle of homelessness and suffering.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:
The best thing you can do is keep the family together until the kittens are fully weaned. Once they are old enough, the goal is to ensure everyone—mom included—is spayed or neutered.

Do NOT take momma cats and kittens into the municipal shelter!

While municipal shelters do their best, they are often overwhelmed. The stress of a kennel can cause a mother to stop nursing, and exposure to common shelter viruses can be life-threatening. By keeping them out of the system, you are directly saving their lives.

Please, let them be. Let them grow. Let them stay with mom.

Sun City Cats will happily get you scheduled for TNR once the kittens are age-appropriate. Please email us at [email protected]
