HOW YOU CAN HELP:
1. Love cats? If so, join with other
Heart of Texas Feral Friends volunteers by attending Thursday’s feral forum. Learn more about helping the local cats in a compassionate way.
2. If you are unable to trap and care for ferals, perhaps you can support the trappers’ and caretakers’ work financially. Tax-deductible donations can be made to:
ABC Clinic
1531 Wooded Acres
Waco, Texas 76710
Please make payments out to “ABC Clinic TNR Program”3. Another way to help control the feral populations is to please be sure to have your own companion cats spayed or neutered. Even indoor-only cats occasionally escape, and if not sterilized, can become a part of the pet overpopulation problem.
