A-PAL's Community Cats program

In January of 2013 A-PAL began the Community Cat program, led by Jeff Holman. Cats that were turned in at the shelter in traps as feral were no longer held for 72 hours and euthanized.

These cats were spayed or neutered, had an ear clipped to identify them, then given a rabies vaccination prior to being evaluated. The results were surprising!

Of the 361 cats that went through this program in 2013, 199 were determined to be feral and returned to their colony in the community. 112 others were placed in 'barn homes', in which their skills as 'varmint hunters' were put to good use. The remaining 50 were quite tame, and were placed into adopted homes as pets. 
NEED A BARN CAT? These cats need homes! call us at 209-223-0410 if you're interested.
