Feeding a few strays or a barn colony? Getting them fixed is what stops the kittens.
Kittens alone outside are often not orphaned. Check before you move them.
Every fixed cat means no more litters born outdoors. 90% of every gift pays for spay/neuter surgery and vet care; 10% covers traps, transport and running costs.
Every printable you buy funds our spay/neuter and TNR programs, in Cattaraugus County and through grants to partner groups across the US.

Cats go home to their colony, where caretakers feed and shelter them, and the colony stops growing.
Beyond Cattaraugus County, the same 90% funds board-approved grants to partner rescues and TNR groups across the US for spay/neuter surgery, vaccines and TNR costs. How partner grants work →
