Help Spay & Neuter Feral Cats on my street

I’m working on my own to care for a group of feral cats living on my block. Over the past two years, I’ve managed to get the original mother and father cats fixed, as well as two out of three kittens from their first litter, with help from the local shelter. One female from the original litter of three and one female from the second litter of two were not spayed, and each of them had a litter about 6–8 weeks ago. These two females now urgently need to be spayed to prevent further litters. I’ll be bringing their babies to the shelter so they can find homes, but it’s urgent to stop the cycle of repopulation.

Every month, I go through about 30 pounds of food and make sure the cats have clean, cold water, especially during the extremely hot days. I’ve been able to trap and transport the cats for their procedures, following the local T&R (trap and release) policy, which means I return them to their original location after they’ve been spayed or neutered. The main challenge now is covering the costs, since the shelter can’t help anymore.

Spaying and neutering these cats will help control the feral population, reduce the mess in yards and flower beds, and prevent the spread of packs to other neighborhoods. In some areas, there can be hundreds of feral cats, so every procedure makes a difference. Your support will help me continue this work and make our neighborhood a healthier, safer place for everyone.
