Contra Costa Animal Services offers free spay and neuter surgeries, vaccinations and microchips to
local trappers and citizens who bring stray and feral
cats and kittens (community
cats) to CCAS that will later be returned to the community they came from.

local pet owners, community
cat caretakers, students at Hunterdon Polytech Animal Sciences, TNR
trappers and rescues — and, of course, the
cats and dogs.
Hmmmm... what might happen if we could park The Spay Station next to the Animal Technologies Building, involve the students in the process, invite the community and
local trappers to bring in their

PAWS works with two
local trappers: Aska Langman, and Gabby Murdock (who also took the featured photo at the top of the post) who will go to your property, trap the feral

cats to you.
Strategies for how best to deal with feral
cat populations differ depending on a variety of factors, including availability of dedicated feeders, skilled humane
trappers, spay / neuter funds, resources for food and vet care, health of the
cats themselves, impact on human community and
local wildlife, attitude of human community towards their presence, and more.
