Spay Day USA

 

February 23th marks the 16th annual Spay Day USA, and to celebrate, Alley Cat Rescue will be hosting a low-cost spay/neuter clinic on February 25th and 26th.  The event will assist both domestic (family pets) and feral cats. For $30 per cat, individuals will have their cats sterilized and vaccinated. For individuals practicing trap-neuter-return, a limited number of traps are available, so please contact ACR to reserve one. For more information and to sign up for Spay Day, please contact ACR.

 

Free Feral Cat Spay Day (FFCSD)

 

On April 27, 2010, Alley Cat Rescue is launching Free Feral Cat Spay Day to encourage the veterinary community and individuals to get involved in putting an end to cat homelessness and decreasing euthanasia rates at local shelters. ACR President and TNR pioneer, Louise Holton, sent out a plea to veterinarians across the US, asking them to participate on this important day by offering at least TWO FREE SPAYS OR NEUTERS of FERAL CATS to the public. For more information on ACR’s new national initiative and to find out if your veterinarian is participating, please click here.

Our Mission Statement:

 

Alley Cat Rescue is helping to solve the crisis and tragedy of unwanted and abandoned cats.

Alley Cat Rescue (ACR) works to protect cats on several levels: locally through rescue, rehabilitation and adoption of cats and nationally through a network of Cat Action Teams.  ACR is dedicated to the health, well-being and welfare of all cats: domestic, stray, abandoned and feral.  ACR also assists the international animal community.

 

PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR COMPANION ANIMALS. This will save millions of lives, and stop the killing in the nation's shelters. Six million healthy, unwanted animals are killed in shelters each and every year. ACR is striving to lower these numbers and to put an end to the suffering and unnecessary death of innocent animals. ACR also works to PREVENT feral colonies from forming. Spaying and neutering outdoor cats helps to stop new cats from joining and forming feral colonies.

Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic
Alley Cat Rescue is offering a low-cost spay/neuter clinic to low-income residents of Maryland and Washington, DC. This program is made possible from contributions provided by The Snyder Foundation for Animals and from individual contributors.

 

Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) Clinic for Feral Cats
Alley Cat Rescue operates a TNR program for feral cats. Feral cats are sterilized, eartipped, vaccinated against rabies and distemper, and are treated for internal parasites and fleas. For more information on TNR, scheduling an appointment, and borrowing a trap, please check out our Programs.

Adoption:
ACR has many domestic cats in need of good homes. Please visit the PETsMART at 12020 Cherry Hill Rd. in Silver Spring, MD to meet our cats up for adoption or call (301)586-8262 to speak to a manager about our cats. You can also view them online at Petfinder or Pets911. Barn homes are also needed for feral cats; please check out our Programs for more information.
