Alumni Tails: Mama cat's breeding days are over

By Devon Jahn | Development Manager

Mama cat awaits her spay surgery and vaccinations

Carol and Michael of Vancouver, WA, contacted us after discovering how quickly cats can multiply. They told us, "We started out with two neighborhood cats. One became friendly over time and started living with us inside as a pet. The other had kittens... and started our little population explosion."

Right away Carol and Michael were able to trap and bring seven cats and kittens to our spay/neuter clinic, but Mama cat evaded all their efforts. Finally - success!

Carol told us, "We've been trying to get her for the last eight months. Every time we would bring home the trap she would disappear. This time she stayed around but was refusing to eat. Hunger finally won out last night! So after three litters that we know of (10 kittens), her breeding days are over."

FCCO's services for feral and stray cats allow kind people like Carol and Michael to continue to care for feral and stray cats living among them without worry that the cats will keep producing more mouths to feed. We have helped nearly 80,000 cats - funded 100% by donations.
