How does HCP find cats in need of services?
When our program began, people discovered our existence mainly by word-of-mouth. As we became more firmly established, we started to get referrals from veterinarians, shelters, businesses, individuals, and media exposure. The Homeless Cat Project, once notified of groups of cats, assesses each site to ensure that a human caregiver will feed the cats daily, provide adequate shelter, and monitor the animals for injuries and suspected illnesses. Calls come in daily from people who want “their” cats spayed and neutered. We maintain a waiting list of sites to receive HCP services.
