Cats have been around for thousands of years, but it wasn't until the mid-twentieth century that it became practical to keep them indoors. Cats in the wild are a natural component of our environment.
Cat Rescues use Trap-Neuter-Return to humanely control the population, enhance the lives of the cats, save money for the government, address neighbors concerns, and work with the entire community to find a solution that benefits everyone!
If you want to aid us and the cat population, consider giving to our ongoing fundraiser to expand our capacity for community impact!
