🐾 TNR Never Stops — And Neither Does the Need 🐾
Last week, we had a Feral MASH clinic hosted by SpokAnimal. These clinics are made possible through private donor funding secured by SpokAnimal, allowing feral cats to receive spay/neuter surgery, vaccines, deworming, and flea/tick treatment at no cost to rescues unless additional medical care is needed.
We are incredibly grateful to SpokAnimal and the donors who make these clinics possible.
Unfortunately, there will be no MASH clinic in June. The next clinic is tentatively scheduled for July 2, assuming the necessary donor funding comes in to make it possible.
☀️ Meanwhile, kitten season is in full swing.
Every day, we receive requests for help with feral colonies and feral/community cats. The reality is that we cannot adopt our way out of the homeless cat crisis. Shelters, rescues, and caretakers are overwhelmed, and the most effective way to reduce suffering is to prevent it before it starts through TNR.
While kittens are often viewed as the happy side of kitten season, the reality can be heartbreaking. Many outdoor cats become pregnant while still kittens themselves and spend their lives producing litter after litter. Countless kittens never survive their first year due to disease, predators, starvation, exposure, or lack of medical care.
We currently have access to 16 feral/community cat surgery spots every week. However, we are often unable to utilize all of those spots. Funding for surgeries, transportation, recovery space, and volunteer availability are often the factors that determine how many cats we can help each week.
We also have the opportunity to access additional standing surgery appointments beyond those 16 spots. If we had the funding and volunteer support to make use of them, we could help even more feral/community cats every week.
🚨 Right now, the biggest limitations aren’t clinic access—they’re funding and manpower.
💲 The cost to fill all 16 weekly spots is approximately $560 per week for spay/neuter surgeries and vaccines alone.
Many of the cats we trap also require additional medical care, including:
🐾 Wound and abscess treatment
🐾 Long-acting antibiotics
🐾 Dental care and extractions
🐾 Enucleations (eye removal surgery)
🐾 Other medical treatment needed to safely return cats to their colonies
🙋 We also need more than funding—we need people.
Additional volunteers are needed to help transport cats to and from surgery appointments and provide temporary holding space before and after surgery. A lack of transportation and recovery space often prevents us from helping as many cats as we’d like.
If you’ve been looking for a meaningful way to help community cats, we’d love to have you join our team.
