Information Wanted - animal neutering program

A County resident asked me if I knew of a feral cat "trap, neuter and release" program.

She had already contacted McHenry County Animal Control and had been told it did not operate such a program. There are 12 new kittens near her property now.

Does anyone know of such a program or any agency or non-profit that could help?

Gus--see the Feral Fix on this link. Our humane society gets funding from Maddie's fund for ferals. Maybe there is an option for funding down by you.http://www.giveshelter.org/sitemgr/snap

Ellen, thanks for this information. What a great program. I'll see what I can learn about any similar program here in McHenry County, Ill.

And you might make it over to today's (9/19/09) fundraiser in McHenry at the Moose Lodge on Route 31 at Johnsburg Road. 4-8PM. All-you-can-eat pasta dinner.

I think it might be a little too far this late in the day:)

The Animal Outreach Society does have a feral cat Trap-Neuter-Return program, although it's not free. Thanks to two participating veterinarians, the cost is low. For information, call 815.385.0005 or email info@animaloutreachsociety.org
