HOW YOU CAN HELP

“Can You Find A Home For Our Cat?”

It would be wonderful if we could help every cat that we are asked to take into our program. However, our foster home capacity is reached or exceeded most of the time. We face the public's ire when we aren't able to take an indoor cat who is no longer wanted. Please try to understand that sometimes we have to prioritize and make difficult decisions. If you have considered all options and it is still necessary to give up your family pet, we would really appreciate if you would foster the cat while we will try to fiend the home for them OWNER/FOSTER . Homeless outdoor cats are often ill and have an immediate need, and when faced with these decisions we have to ask the public to do what they can on their own. At least the indoor cat has a place to stay, however temporary; many of the cats we work with do not have that luxury.
 

Cats and the (not so) Great Outdoors

We urge people to keep their cats indoors. The hazards of outdoor life are many and increase all the time. Our roads are busier than ever with vehicle traffic; more and more of our neighbours use pesticides on their lawns; predators such as coyotes are becoming more common in urban areas; and the list goes on. None of these hazards are within an individual cat owner’s control and you may not even be aware of them. To let your cat outdoors because “we’ve always had outdoor cats” is an old way of thinking. Everything changes, and the old way of thinking about whether pets should be outdoors needs to change too.
