Feral cat spay/neuter program offered by HSPC
In an effort to reduce the number of feral kittens, the Humane Society of Putnam County operates a TNR (trap, neuter, release) program.
TNR vouchers are available to residents of Putnam County which will pay 100 percent of the cost to neuter feral cats, sometimes referred to as community cats. In some situations they can assist in trapping and transporting these cats to a veterinary office.
TNR allows these cats to be returned to the neighborhoods where they have been living, but they will no longer be able to reproduce. Over time the population of these community cat groups will decline.
Because they haven’t been properly socialized with humans as kittens, they aren’t usually adoptable as pets.
For more information about this program, see Don Williams at Rescued Treasures Thrift Store, 1021 Indianapolis Rd., Greencastle during regular business hours. The store is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
