2. To help adoptable cats find forever homes in cooperation with our rescue partners.
3. To educate and promote the importance of spaying/neutering animals.
4. To educate the public on the importance of feral/community cats in our ecosystem.
5. To educate the public on how to care for feral/community cats.

OUR
FOCUS:
TNR
Stray Cat Project strives to curb the population of feral/stray cats in our community through a method called trap/neuter/return (TNR).
TNR is a process whereby cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated with the rabies vaccine (and usually FVRCP vaccine), ear-tipped and then returned to their home territory. TNR does not involve euthanization nor relocation of the cats unless their lives are in danger. TNR is the most humane and effective way of controlling the community cat population. It improves the lives of cats, addresses community concerns, reduces complaints about cats, and stops the breeding cycle.
Typically, a homeowner will call to inform us that he is concerned about a cat on his property that is not his. Stray Cat Project will set trap(s) on the property to catch the cat(s), transport them to a veterinarian for spay or neuter surgery, administer a rabies vaccination and perform an ear tip (the universally accepted method to identify a spayed/neutered and vaccinated community cat). Once the cat is ready to be released, the volunteer will return the cat to the area where it was found.
Stray Cat Project is able to provide these services due to the generosity of our volunteers and supporters. There is no fee for our services but we very much appreciate a contribution in any amount to help defray our costs.
Stray Cat Project does not maintain an animal shelter and is not a full-service rescue group in the traditional sense. Whereas our focus is TNR, we rarely have animals available for adoption.
