Update: thank you to everyone who has purchased plates off the wishlist or offered to pick up some at the store! We are set for a while and greatly appreciate it!

The HCMT clinic goes through at least 30 plates a day and even more on clinic weekends. That is almost one full pack!

We could use some help back filling our shelves. While any kind of dessert plate (with the exception of styrofoam) is appreciated, we love the compostable ones on our wishlist! 🐾 Using so many, we want to minimize our paw print as best as possible.

Must register for clinic--no walk-ins!
Caretakers and cat guardians MUST pre-register. To register, email [email protected] or call 412-321-4060 and follow the prompts. You will receive an email or call confirming your spot.

🐾 By Email : Email [email protected] with your name, number of spots you need and which date you are registering for. You will receive a confirmation email ONLY if you are registered.

Please note that No Charge Clinics fill quickly and on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Feral cats must arrive in a standard humane box trap (Havahart, Safe-guard, Tomahawk, Tru-Catch, etc.) for the safety of all involved.
Pet and owned cats can arrive in carriers, one cat per carrier. They will be placed back in their carrier or trap for recovery after surgery.

🐾 🐾 FERAL vs PET CAT (please read!) 🐾 🐾
HCMT treats both feral cats and pet/rescue cats.
- A FERAL is a cat that will be returned to the outdoor location where it was trapped after surgery and WILL receive a mandatory ear tip.
- A PET is a cat that either has been or will be adopted as a pet after surgery.
- ONLY FERAL cats are eligible for No-Charge clinics.
- Both feral and pet cats can be treated at Fast Track Clinics.
- FAST TRACK CLINICS are for any cat who needs a low-cost spay or neuter.

Summerween trick or treat 🍬💩

While it goes on their skin, deworming is actually a treat for community cats!

Deworming helps prevent intestinal parasites, reduces the risk of disease transmission, and improves overall feline health. For a low cost, caretakers have the option to add on a deworming treatment at our spay/neuter clinics.

By deworming your cat, even if they are living outdoors, you're giving them a healthier life!

🐾 To register for a clinic, email [email protected]. You will receive a response confirming your spot. Reminder- we DO NOT schedule through social media!
