Kitten Season
It's that time of year again....kitten season. We, along with every other shelter in the south, are overloaded with kittens. They come in with their moms and they come in without their moms. They come in with their littermates and they come in alone. Some have to be bottle fed, some can eat on their own. Some are tame and some are feral. What do they all have in common? An unaltered mama.
We want to remind everyone that we have a spay/neuter voucher program which allows residence of Franklin County to have their cat or kitten spayed or neutered for only $25.00. Kittens should be spayed by 5 months of age because that is when they can come into heat. We see babies having babies all the time.
If you are feeding a stray cat, you are responsible for it and that includes having it altered. If you don't have it fixed, you are contributing to the overpopulation of cats in the county. Remember, a fed feral is a breeding feral.
We applaud you for feeding homeless kittles, but don't stop there. Come to the shelter with your 25.00 co-pay and get your cat and the ones you are feeding, altered and a rabies vaccination.
We have donation jars in many businesses throughout the county. That money funds our voucher program so please donate when you see one of our jars. If you would like to mail a donation specifically for the program, please send to: 244 HWY 65, Eastpoint, FL 32328 and make a notation on the memo line.
If we all do our part, we can make a huge impact on the homeless cat population in Franklin County.
