Our mission is to rescue, alter, adopt and care for homeless cats, including feral cats, in Brockton, MA. We provide resources, support and referral services to those interested in helping our feline friends. We intend to accomplish this mission in a humane manner one cat at a time.

What is a feral cat?

When an unspayed cat becomes lost or abandoned, she must fend for her self in the "wild" city. She will most probably meet up with a similar unaltered male cat. The resultant kittens will grow up without human contact and thus revert to wild behaviors and they are the first generation feral cats. Without human intervention they will continue to reproduce creating a larger feral population. This will continue for the rest of their lives, however long that will be. There are many risks for these cats; being run over, suffering disease and infection, animal attacks, starvation or  freezing to death, are only some of the perils they face trying to survive on the streets of Brockton and other cities and towns.

What can you do to help?

There are many ways to help the cats. You can join our organization by just attending our meetings. They are held the first Tuesday of the month in the community room at Stop & Shop at 7:30pm on Montello St. Brockton , MA.

We are always in need of money for food, traps and medical care. There are never enough foster homes. If you have feral cats on your property feeding them is a good thing to do but it is crucial that you have them spayed or neutered to stop the increasing population. Try to provide them with safe shelter. There are clinics available for low cost or free spay and neutering, just contact us for any help or information that you need.

What is involved in foster care?

There are many different fostering situations. When we do TNR we need a place to keep trapped cats for one-three days. They need to be in our possession the day before the clinic and sometimes need a day or two to recover from the surgery. We need temporary homes for strays that we have up for adoption. This could be from a week to several months. If necessary we can help with food costs and of course all medical care is covered. Ideally a separate room for them would be good but not necessary Having animals of your own is not a problem. And of course it would be up to you how often you can help.

What is TNR?
Trap Neuter Return is the method we use to manage feral cats. The cats are trapped and then neutered and vaccinated, they are then released to the place where they were trapped and someone feeds them on a regular schedule and shelter is provided. They are monitored to provide good health. If some cats prove friendly enough  they are fostered and offered for adoption.
