Community Cat Guide For Municipal Leaders
Community Cat programs are widely supported by the majority of voters. These programs allow shelters to run more effectively, saving money and boosting morale. Learn more about the benefits of community cat programs and how you can easily start a program in your area.
Is your Community Cat Program working with Mobile Home Parks and Multi-Unit Dwellings? Our Community Cat Guide for Indiana Mobile Home Parks & Multi-Unit Dwellings can help!
Is Your Rescue Group or Shelter TNR'ing This Winter? We Can Help.
To help get a head start on the spring kitten season, Pet Friendly Services has pledged $50,000 in matching grants to assist rescue groups that are actively and safely trap-neuter-returning during the winter months. Winter is a challenging season, but warm days frequently occur. Finding vet appointments can be difficult as well. If you’re able to do both, we want to help you get them fixed.
Caring for Community Cats and Need Assistance?
If you’re caring for feral or free-roaming cats and need guidance or assistance, please start by contacting the Community Cat program in your area. You’ll find a list at the bottom of this page. Most of these programs are all-volunteer and are funded by community donations. Please be patient as you seek assistance from these organizations. You’ll find a list at the bottom of this page. With Covid-19, vet offices were closed and reopened slowly. This gave Community Cats lots of time to bring about new litters of kittens, so everyone is very busy this year.
