ALLEY CAT RESCUE NATIONAL FREE FERAL CAT SPAY DAY

MILLCREEK ANIMAL HOSPITAL TO HOST SPAY/NEUTER CLINC FOR FERAL CATS IN COLUMIBA, SC

CLINC HELD IN HONOR OF NATIONAL FREE FERAL CAT SPAY DAY

 

Columbia, SC -On April 27, 2011 Millcreek Animal Hospital will hold a spay and neuter clinic for feral cats in Columbia, Sc.  This event is being held in honor of National Free Feral Cat Spay Day, to advocate for the use of humane management practices of feral or “community” cats. 

A feral cat is simply a domestic cat who was born outside and has never lived with humans, or one who was a house cat, became lost, and went without human contact long enough to become unsocialized to humans.  Feral cats revert back to living on instincts and become less dependent on humans for survival.  Feral simply means “wild” or “untamed.”

Trap-neuter-return (TNR) is the humane management of feral cat colonies, where cats are caught in traps, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, ear-tipped and returned to the site.  “TNR- stabilizes populations at manageable levels and eliminates common neighborhood complaints regarding mating behaviors, like spraying and fighting,” said Dr. Cameron Barkley.

National Free Feral Cat Spay Day was launched in 2010 by Alley Cat Rescue, the National Cat Protection Assoication located near Washington, DC.  Alley Cat Resuce is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the welfare of all cats: domestic, stray, feral, and wild.  Alley Cat Rescue’s award-winning handbook on feral cats and TNR has helped save the lives of thousands of cats. 

To celebreat National Free Feral Cat Spay Day, Millcreek Animal Hospital plans to work with the community and Catnip Cats to trap, neuter, return feral cats at our clinic on April 27, 2011.  After recovering from surgery, cats will be returned to their outdoor homes.  For more information on this event and how you can get involved, please contact us at 803-359-1933

“TNR stops the breeding cycle more effictiently than catch-and-kill.  In catch-and-kill, other strays will enter the vacated territory and start breeding all over again.  Spay and neuter is the key to preventing cat homelessness,” said Louise Holton, president of Alley Cat Rescue.
