Our Feral Cat Team is in need of volunteers to help feed and trap stray and feral cats in the city.
Feral cats are un-socialized cats that may have been tame once but have been abandoned by their previous families, or have been born in the wild an never socialized. Feeding feral cats is very rewarding and a tremendous help to those poor unfortunate creatures that have been left to fend for themselves and their babies on the streets. Without a regular source of food, or shelter, they can easily fall prey to other animals, and are vulnerable to parasites, diseases and of course, the harsh winter weather conditions we experience.
As a feeder, you would deliver food and water to PFA feeding stations, observe the cats and report any sick, injured, or new arrivals to the Feral Team Leader. The reward comes in realizing how appreciative the cats are to have food delivered on a regular schedule and how many of them eventually come closer and look for attention.
Feeders are assigned a route with several stops and a day of the week on which they are responsible to feed.
As a trapper, you would work with the Feral Team to humanely trap intact cats so that they can be sterilized and released back to the colony.
Training is provided for both roles.
Please consider helping us care for these needy cats and kittens. We can use the extra hands. And the feral cats will thank you for it.
