19th Ward Community Cats was hard at work in 2015!!! In 2015, we were able to spay/neuter 287 free roaming cats in the 19th Ward as part of the City Kitty project. They were also vaccinated, and treated for fleas, worms, and parasites. That's 287 outdoor cats who've received vet care and will no longer be reproducing on our streets or be vulnerable to disease! Approximately 80 of those cats/kittens were placed for adoption with our City Kitty partner, Four-Legged Friends Animal Adoptions, Inc., and they're now in loving forever homes- off the streets entirely! Members of this group and colony caretakers volunteer their time and bear the financial burden for much of this work. If you'd like make a financial contribution to this group please take or mail your donation to the 19th Ward Community Association Office, 216 Thurston Road. Every dollar is spent on vet care for our community cats. If you'd like to help in any other way, please let us know! Thank you!!

Donations to help out with expenses are appreciated but not necessary.

He hasn't been neutered but has all his shots, she says. She had adopted him as a stray but then discovered he set off allergies badly. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

I work with a poor and uneducated family who has a beautiful long haired calico with muted colors of grey and orange. She is not spayed and very loveable. They don't want her anymore and I urged them not to drop her off at a barn like was their plan. Please let me know. SHe would need to be spayed. She is less than a year old
Thanks

Seriously, this is a great cause and it has potential to positively impact our neighborhoods- not just in terms of cats but also for people, property, etc.
The program we're attempting to create offers a humane way of dealing with an escalating problem with feral cats. Implemented properly we'll eventually cut down on the feral problem in our community.
Thanks to Alice and Pat who initiated a community wide response.
