Spay & Neuter Information
Feral Cats and kittens
A feral cat is a "wild" cat that is not domesticated, they are like any other wild animal. These are cats whose past relatives were good old fashioned strays that had kittens that never came in contact with humans. They are unable to be touched or handled. If you or your neighbors are feeding cats living in your neighborhood, it is best that you get them fixed and return them back to your neighborhood. They can live out their life in the environment they have been acustomed to. Over time the colony will reduce in size and no longer exist. We are at capacity with cats and require a phone call to schedule dropoffs. If you choose to rent a humane trap from Dessin, the fee is $60 for a two-week rental. The shelter retains $10 if the trap is returned empty; if the trap contains a cat the shelter retains $25. Thank you in advance for your understanding! If you have questions or concerns, please call the shelter at (570) 253-4037.
Spay & Neuter Clinics
Help STOP the multiplication by spaying and neutering your pets! It's the most responsible decision an owner can make. Have a few feral cats on/near your property? Consider TNR. It will help in reducing over population. There are so many benefits behind this surgery:
- A healthier and happier pet
- they won't go through heat cycles
- a major reduction in the threat of cancer
- they won't feel the need to roam the neighborhood
- they will less likely mark their territory
