New York, NY • City Veterinary Care
These cats are part of a feral colony in Queens in the Richmond Hill Section. They are cared for by a community member that feeds them, provides shelter (car tires, boxes with straw bedding), and a winter water bubbler to prevent the water from freezing These cats are feral so they are always at a distance. They stay in the colony neighborhood because resources are provided. We can however, see relationships (good and bad) between them All cats are special.:). The feral ones require a lot of empathy because they are wild animal and do not want our assistance. They are terrified of humans, so trapping them for sterilization surgery is stressfull but we make it a kind and humane as possible These cats, left on the street, sexually intact, breed and multiply. The chances of a kitten making it through the winter is only about 20%, so by sterilizing them before that happens, truly saves lives! The supply of feral cats in the 5 boroughs of NYC are seemingly endless. Every dollar helps to get to them all. The assistances goes to paying spay/neuter veterinarians, support staff and supplies
Feral Cat Spay & Neuter Program
Feral Cat Spay and Neuter Program in New York, NY needs $2,000 for TNR Sterilization.
New York, NY • City Veterinary Care
Join The Toby Project's mission to control the feral cat population by donating towards their spay and neuter program. Your generosity can provide a better future for these stray kitten and cats. The Toby Project provides free spay and neuter, by appointment only, for feral cats brought to us by registered 501C3 nonprofit TNR ( Trap, Neuter, Release) rescue groups in New York City. We've set a goal to raise $2,000, which will cover the cost of 16 cat sterilizations each month. By reaching this goal, we can ensure that more feral cats receive the care they need, helping to control their population and improve their overall well-being. Each year, approximately 6,000 cats taken to municipal shelters in New York City are killed simply because there are not enough homes to account for the overwhelming number of cats in need. This intolerable problem exists because the City's uncontrolled stray population reproduces naturally -- and too many pet owners allow their cats to breed without contemplating the consequences. Sterilization is essential when it comes to managing the population of feral cat communities. This not only helps control the population but also prevents the spread of diseases that can harm both humans and animals. Donate today! Every little bit helps.
