Community Cats of Charlotte is an all volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Charlotte County's homeless cat population. Through no fault of their own, stray, abandoned, and feral cats exist in our county. Estimates put their number at 30,000.
Community Cats of Charlotte is the only organization in Charlotte County with this purpose. Our plan is effective, long term and humane.
OUR MISSION is to improve the lives of feral and homeless cats living in Charlotte County by humanely stopping their breeding through a no-cost Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program. With TNR, the cats are humanely trapped, spayed/neutered, vaccinated against Rabies, left ear tipped, and returned to their original location. The breeding stops and the behaviors associated with mating (spraying, fighting, yowling) stops.
Each 10 cats sterilized with this program prevents the birth of 150 additional cats in the first year after spaying and neutering. With perseverance, we will make a difference for the cats and the community.
OUR PURPOSE AND COMMITMENT are to: *Facilitate the work of caregivers caring for feral and homeless cats in their group (colony) and controlling the population growth with TNR. *Provide a viable, humane, and cost effective alternative to euthanasia at the animal shelter. *Build a dialogue with people having issues with feral and homeless cats and reaching out to help resolve the problems.
Educate people in Charlotte County about Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) and its positive impact in the community.
OUR VISION is to have a community where no kittens are born wild on the street......where no cat capable of living in a home is lacking one......and where no adult feral cats go wanting for food, water, and appropriate care.
THANK YOU FRIENDS........over 1000 pounds of dry and can food were collected during our second annual food drive for stray, abandoned, and feral cats in Charlotte County......With the devastation created by hurricane Irma, we are happy to be ready to supplement the food our colony caregivers need to feed their cats and to continue to partner with them when needed.
