Feral Cats

IF YOU HAVE A FERAL CAT THAT YOU ARE FEEDING OR ON YOUR PROPERTY, CONTACT US FIRST. PLEASE DO NOT TRAP THE CAT UNTIL YOU HAVE THE VOUCHER AND AN APPOINTMENT AT THE VET.

Humane Solution Spay-Neuter Program offers reduced cost vouchers for spay-neuter surgery to underprivileged pet guardians and feral cat caretakers. If you need help with the rescue or placement of animals or are in need of veterinary assistance beyond spay-neuter, please visit our Community Resources page to find fellow organizations that may be able to help.

Starting on January 1st Feral vouchers will be $45. The ear tip, vaccines, and flea treatment are still included with the voucher.

Humane Solution Feral Cat Program

Humane Solution’s mission is to end euthanasia as a means to control the pet overpopulation crisis. This philosophy also applies to feral cats. Humane Solution believes that feral and community cats should be able to live out their lives in their habitat and that controlling their population is crucial to their health and welfare. If you would like a paper version of the application, please email us at info@humanesolution.org to request one.

Is Your Cat a Feral Cat?

Is your cat(s) friendly or approachable by humans other than the feeder/caretaker in any way?
Will the cat let anyone other than the feeder/caretaker touch it?
Will the cat allow you to place it in a carrier safely?
If you answered “NO” to these questions, then your cat would be considered feral and eligible for this program and you may fill out the application at the bottom of this page. If you answered “Yes” to these questions, please apply for our Pet Spay Neuter Voucher at this link (Pet Spay Neuter)

What is TNR (Trap, Neuter, and Return)?
