Spay & Neuter

About the Program

When COVID struck in 2020, the shelters in the bay area stopped or decreased performing S/N. The population for feral cats has grown immensely over the last 2 years. D/t our zoning limits for farm animals, our Sanctuary has been focusing on helping with controlling the feral cat population boom. We have been building a team to help trap, find low cost S/N appointments, recover, and then release the cats to their original location if they are not fit for adoption. We have been trapping colonies of cats to keep the mom and her kittens together while we wait to find S/N appointments.

Joybound Spay and Neuter Clinic Extended Partnership

We are in an ongoing partnership with Joybound, a local non-profit animal rescue. Part of this partnership involves a series of four spay and neuter “Feral Fix” days aimed at fixing 80 to 90 feral cats each day over a period of four months. This is an ongoing effort to make an impact prior to kitten season to prevent an even larger unhoused cat population.

Trap, Neuter, Release - "TNR"

Trap, Neuter, Release (TNR) is the act of trapping, spaying or neutering, and releasing feral cats into the environment with the hope to decrease feral cat populations over time.

Supporting our Spay and Neuter Program

As a sanctuary, we are passionate about preventing an even larger unhoused cat population through spay and neutering. To do that, we partner with some other non-profits, receive money from grants, and rely on support from individuals.
