Feral Cat Policy

kitten and puppy
We care deeply about the well-being of all cats—however, currently our facility is not equipped to safely handle truly wild, feral cats. That’s why we encourage anyone considering bringing in a feral cat for spay or neuter services to first ask:

Is the cat truly feral?

If the cat can be safely handled and placed in a carrier, we can spay or neuter them. For these outdoor cats, we offer ear tipping upon request. Ear tipping is a universally recognized sign that a feral cat has been sterilized—it involves the removal of a small portion of the ear tip under anesthesia during surgery. This helps prevent the cat from being trapped and taken in for surgery again.

What if the cat cannot be handled?

For cats that are truly wild and cannot be safely transported, we recommend contacting SNYP (Spay Neuter Your Pet) in Talent, Oregon.
