About Us

We are an IRS approved 501©3 charity (05-05-13435) and a United Way Agency # 8587.
We are in critical need of volunteers. If you can help in any way, please visit our volunteer page, where you will also find our volunteer application.
Trap Neuter Return (TNR)
Our Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) center serves as a resting stop for free-roaming cats to recuperate after surgery as they go through the TNR process. Feral cats arriving at the CCC receive the necessary food, medication, and love (of course) before they are returned to their outdoor homes.
Why TNR?
Cats without indoor homes are what we call free-roaming or community cats. These are simply cats that live in the community. In your alley ways, backyards, and parks. These cats have no owners but are no less deserving of the love and care we give to our indoor pets. When these cats are left alone, they breed A LOT! Thousands of kittens are born outside and many don’t make it. That’s where TNR comes in.
Community TNRM Program
TNRM stands for “Trap, Neuter, Return, Monitor.”
Trap-Neuter-Return is the humane, effective approach for feral cats.
Feral cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and ear-tipped (the universal symbol of a neutered and vaccinated cat), and then returned to their outdoor home.
