We've all seen feral cats. They're the free-roaming cats who often live in colonies somewhere in our neighborhood. But left unchecked, these feral cats will cause a population boom that won't be good for them or us. So we're happy to be the only organization in Austin offering free spay/neuter of feral cats.

In fact, since the program began in 2007, our clinic has sterilized more than 14,000 feral cats. Considering just one unsterilized female cat can be responsible for 400,000 offspring over the course of seven years, we think this program is pretty important to the health and safety of Austin's feral cats!

In order to trap, sterilize and return feral cats to their colonies, we need your help. It's as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Attend one of our monthly Volunteer Orientations.

2. Receive training on how to use our safe, humane cat traps.

3. Make an appointment and bring the ferals to our clinic, where they'll be sterilized and vaccinated.

The Feral Cat Program is for anyone in Central Texas who wants to make a difference and save some lives. Consider becoming a Feral Cat Trapper for the Austin Humane Society. Whether it's just one time or many times, you can help save feral cats and prevent a future population boom.
