CORE Program Guidelines
What we do:
-
Provide information to help feral cat caregivers through the TNR process, including:
- A list of veterinarians who perform low-cost feral
cat sterilizations (between $20 and $55 per cat)
- Humane trap loans for the purpose of TNR
-
Offer adoption placement for
friendly strays and
socialized kittens from feral colonies.
-
When resources allow, assist senior citizens
and those on disability with their TNR efforts -- including trapping,
providing transportation and care for feral cats while they recover from
surgery, before they are returned to their environment.
-
Funds permitting, supplement or pay for feral cat sterilizations of elderly caregivers
or those on disability.
- Provide food to senior feral cat caregivers or those in financial need, when
available.
- Offer creative, flexible options to help
defray costs of sterilizing larger colonies.
In the past some have:
- given PACT post-dated checks
- asked PACT to request a payment plan with one of our
veterinarians
- had their band perform a benefit concert for PACT
- exchanged services for some veterinary costs
What we do not do:
- Trap and transport your feral cats to the veterinarian.
- Trap and remove unwanted cats.
- Take feral kittens found outside for bottle-feeding or
socialization.
- Take unwanted cats to "the barn" (because
it doesn't exist).
What you can do:
- Make a commitment to manage your feral colony.
- Get started with TNR.
-
Socialize feral kittens under the age of 10 weeks for adoption placement.
-
Rescue friendly
strays from feral colonies for adoption placement through PACT Humane
Society.
