🐾 63 MORE CATS. 63 MORE LIVES CHANGED. 🐾
Last week, 63 more cats had their lives changed because of Friends of Ferals and your support.
Our primary focus remains what it has always been: targeted spay/neuter for our local community cats and the people caring and living amongst them.
Last week, 57 local community cats were spayed or neutered, meaning 57 cats will no longer contribute to the cycle of reproduction and overpopulation.
At the same time, 9 kittens were taken in by our incredible rescue partners at Division, Homes Rescue Connection, and House Rolla affiliates. ❤️
A few additional cats were also included in our surgery funding and then placed with rescue partners. This is not our normal model. Typically, cats going into rescue have their veterinary expenses covered by the receiving organization.
In these particular cases, circumstances changed at the last minute, had they not, we would have been legally required to return these desperately needy kittens to where they were caught. 😿
Sadly, one kitten has passed away. 💔
Two required eye removal surgeries.
And we're hoping for a much better tomorrow for the survivors.
These situations are a reminder that spay/neuter is prevention.
When we sterilize cats before more litters are born, we reduce the number of kittens who face illness, injury, homelessness, or the need for emergency rescue.
📊 LAST WEEK'S IMPACT
57 local community cats spayed/neutered
- 32 Spays
- 25 neuters
🐱 9 kittens placed with reputable rescue partners

Every spay/neuter represents fewer kittens born into hardship.
Healthier colonies.
Healthier cats.
Healthier communities.
And that's exactly why we believe prevention is the smartest and most compassionate solution.
This work is possible because of the people who support it.
Thank you to everyone who donated, trapped, transported, volunteered, shared our work, connected us with caretakers, or helped make these surgeries possible.
