a volunteer non- profit feral cat advocacy organization that supports non- lethal population control of feral and stray cats
through a well-managed trap- neuter- return program.
Vision
Statement for Feral Cat Assistance Program:
FCAP respects
the sanctity of life of feral cats. By implementing a trap- neuter- return program
the feral cats are able to return to their outside homes under the watchful care of compassionate caregivers thereby improving
their quality of life and reducing the feral cat population.
Feral Cat Assistance
Program(FCAP) is a nonprofit, all volunteer organization that provides an avenue for the sterilization, adoption and placement
of feral cats and kittens, and colony care in this community. Many
people do not spay or neuter their cats and too often the results are kittens that are unwanted and left to fend for themselves.
These kittens and their offspring form the feral colonies that can be found in communities all over the country. Did you know that 1 female cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 cats in 7 years? As you can
see, spaying and neutering is essential in keeping the cat population under control, therefore, limiting the number of kittens
and cats that die from disease and starvation.
FCAP was created to help people who are trying to relieve the suffering that
many of these unfortunate and unwanted feral cats and kittens face. The mortality rate for kittens can be very high as they
succumb to parasites, lack of proper food, exposure and cruelty at the hands of people. FCAP helps by providing free spay
and neuter services, as well as vaccinations. The organization also provides assistance to individuals who want to place rescued
and socialized kittens and cats into loving, permanent homes by sponsoring adoption fairs, promoting the animals on the internet,
and showcasing animals at local pet supply stores. Cats that cannot be re-socialized remain in the colony with daily care
provided by their caregiver. Through the dedicated work of Feral Cat Assistance Program, the plight of feral cats continues
to improve.
