HELPING HOMELESS CATS IN MANY WAYS
The Palo Alto Humane Society believes that the most effective and humane way to respond to homeless cats in our communities is by spaying and feeding, not by impoundment and killing. Homeless cats can be cared and provided for, just like housecats. They can be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and cared for when sick. The Palo Alto Humane Society’s CatWorks will show you how. CatWorks is a spay/neuter program for people who care for homeless cats, or who would like to learn how to take care of them.
CatWorks offers its members
- Subsidized spay/neuter vouchers
- Tips on the care of homeless cats
- Occasional meetings to discuss matters of common concern
- The backing and reputation of the Palo Alto Humane Society
Whether you have one cat or a whole colony living in your backyard, near your office, or in your neighborhood, CatWorks will give you spay/neuter support and advice.
How to join CatWorks...
For homeless cat rescuers, we ask a yearly membership fee of $65, which entitles you to request unlimited vouchers for a copayment of $12 per voucher. For individuals on a fixed income who require only one or two vouchers, we will provide these at no cost. These spay/neuter vouchers are redeemable at selected spay/neuter clinics in the mid-Peninsula and Bay Area.
