Encouraged and endorsed by Project Purr, a nonprofit volunteer feral cat advocate organization in Santa Cruz county, the “Friends of Watsonville Animal Shelter” (FOWAS) has implemented an unlimited FREE spay/neuter program for the feral cats/kittens of Watsonville and Freedom. .

Feral cats are unsocialized cats that are born outside or have strayed from home and, over time, lose their domestication and revert to a wild state. Residents must agree to keep and feed the feral cats on a regular schedule. Vouchers, humane traps and details are available at the Watsonville Animal Shelter located at 580 Airport Blvd. Their phone number is 831/728-6078.

FREE SPAY/NEUTER FOR FERAL CATS OF WATSONVILLE/FREEDOM

More than thirty years of documented proof shows that trap-and-kill policies have no lasting effect on reducing feral cat populations. Trap and kill is expensive, cruel, and ineffective. A feral cat management plan called Trap/Neuter/Return, such as the one offered by “Friends of Watsonville Animal Shelter”, has a dramatic impact on ethically solving neighborhood feral cat problems. It is effective, responsible and humane. The breeding stops. Populations are gradually reduced. Nuisance behaviors associated with mating and breeding are virtually eliminated. The cats are vaccinated against disease. The quality of life for these feral cats improves. Thousands of people are helping feral cats, and you can, too!
