Community Cat Program
In an effort to best utilize our resources and make the most significant impact for the animals we all care about, we have made modifications to our program.
We are currently supporting community cats in the following ways…
- Facilitating barn cat/working cat adoption placements in our community so that semi-social or unsocialized cats have the opportunity to live out their lives in a setting they prefer while being cared for.
- Taking in outdoor cats from overflowing shelter partners who oftentimes do not have programs to help unsocialized or semi-social cats.
- Collaborating with groups in Western NC to provide spay/neuter services to community cats through our mobile spay/neuter clinic.
- Taking in very young kittens who are found on the streets in Buncombe County so that they can be socialized and cared for until they are old enough to be adopted into a loving home.
