It was a really good clinic....many more females than males and alot of them were young..so no babies for them.

Only 26 were cats brought in by trappers (2 were euthanized and one died in O.R.), but the rest were cats turned in to PACCA--many of which were kittens and females....

How awesome-that is so wonderful to know!!!! I wish people were more active with wildlife and ferals around here, seems as though no ane cares anymore.

What you are doing is fantastic, and every one of them getting spayed/neuterd helps out so much. Thank you, from me, the cats you've helped, the one's that will be helped, and from everyone else-THANKS!!!!!!!

Just to dispell the old notion of cats captured by city animal control being put down automatically, let me say this: in Philadelphia cats are not captured by Animal Control but are turned into them. Some are euthanized, usually the sick and badly injured.

PACCA has an agreement with Petsmart--cats and kittens brought to them, when possible, will be spayed/neutered and then given to Petsmart for adoption--and they move pretty quickly....

Although I can appreciate the change in PACCAs approach to feral cats....the 'old notion' is still alive and active for most of the animal control facilities throughout the USA...which is why it is best to work with a TNR group whenever you have a feral cat colony.

Great job, TNR.

And, yes, sadly here both the humane association and metro animal control will still PTS ferals. I'm so glad the tide is turning in other areas though!
