Kitty Cat P.A.L.S

have more than 100 kittens. In only seven years, a single pair of cats and their offspring can produce as many as 420,000 kittens. With over 6000 cats spayed in only 10 years, it has made a huge impact on the local cat population.

Cats are caught, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms and returned to the colony. Sick cats will be removed from the colony and treated. The colony cats are given food, and provided with a place to sleep.

It has proven that such managed colonies are healthier and eventually “age out”. It is a win/win situation for property owners and cats. If cats are living in unsafe situations or cannot remain on the property, we move them to a farm that is looking for “working cats”. Working cats take care of rodent situations for farm owners.

The program has been in operation 10 years and has helped at least 800 feral cats.

In 2017 alone we had over 150 cats enter our TNR program. Since our organization has become more known in the community, the request for TNR has increased by 30%. A single TNR cat can cost our society approximately $400.00 for medical expenses (not inclusive of food, utilities, or other related costs) and this cost is reflected appropriately in our budget.

The program is delivered entirely by volunteers. There are trappers that go out to catch the cats, intake volunteers that take care of the cats while recovering from surgery, and volunteers who return the cats to their colony post recovery.
