Seeing stray cats? We can help -- for FREE!

Our Community Cats Program is the humane and effective way to reduce the number of cats living on the streets in Pima County. Community cats are the un-owned outdoor or feral cats who live in our neighborhoods.

Our Community Cats Project provides:

• Spaying or neutering and vaccination at our Tucson Veterinarian clinic. Over time, their numbers are reduced -- at no cost to the caretaker.
• Ear-tipping of spayed or neutered cats. A painless procedure, an ear-tip is the universal symbol of a spayed or neutered outdoor cat.

The benefits include:

• Prevents unwanted litters;
• Saves taxpayer dollars by keeping cats out of our county shelter;
• Decreases the number of cats being euthanized in our shelter;
• Helps improve the health of outdoor cats; and
• Reduces nuisance behaviors like spraying, fighting, howling, and roaming.

To be fixed for free through this program, cats must meet the following criteria:

• The cat lives strictly outside.
• The cat has no known owner (must not have a collar with ID or microchip).
• The cat appears to be healthy.
• The cat is at least 2 pounds, which is roughly 8-10 weeks of age.
• All cats must be returned to their original colonies after surgery (dumping cats is illegal).
