Whiskers Rescue (Sayreville, New Jersey 08871) is dedicated to spaying and neutering feral, untamed cats and releasing them back to their environment, to live out their lives without contributing to the stray cat population.
Feral cats are cats who are born outdoors, with no human contact, and as such do not make suitable pets. Without any human intervention, however, they are doomed to live short, miserable lives, producing litter after litter of kittens who will experience the same fate. Trapping these cats, neutering, and vaccinating them, then returning them to their own territory, is the only effective method of helping. The cats are provided with shelter and food, and the colony is monitored for new arrivals, to prevent the cycle from starting all over again.
Whiskers Rescue available to anyone who wants to learn how to do this; it will show you how to use a humane trap, offer trapping tips and caretaking tips, and help find a vet who will work with you.
If you are unable to physically trap on your own, but you’re willing to fund the cost of surgeries and to continue to feed and monitor the cats, Whiskers Rescue will trap for you, as time allows.
If you are unable to physically trap and unable to contribute to the cost of surgeries, Whiskers Rescue will help you, as time and money allow.
If you are able to trap and fund the cost of surgeries but you need to borrow traps, Whiskers Rescue can lend them to you. You will be asked to leave a $100 deposit for each trap; the deposit will be returned when the trap is returned.
If you want feral cats permanently removed from your property, Whiskers Rescue cannot help you.
