Helping you help community cats
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,
teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit that is run by volunteers and relies completely on donor support for our programs. Our mission is to provide a high standard of care for community cats and the necessary Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) resources to successfully manage and reduce the community cat population in Loudoun County, Virginia.
We work with partner organizations and volunteers to make a positive impact in the community - not just with cats, but the people who care for them. We believe the best way to create social change is by investing in the community and providing sustainable solutions and educational opportunities that enable people to care for the cats on their own.
Here are some of the ways we make a difference:
We've trapped, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped over 1,000 cats through our Fix Me TNR programs. Our Fix Me clinics are run at a reduced cost by all-volunteer staff and partner veterinarians. Sign up to help with our TNR clinics.
We've trained over 100 volunteers and caretakers on how to safely and humanely trap community cats.
Sign up for one of our workshops to learn how to trap in your community.
Helping people help themselves is a big part of what we do. Sometimes situations can be financially and physically overwhelming for those who look after colonies. We work with caretakers to provide the resources and training they need to manage their community cats effectively.
We work in partnership with Loudoun County Animal Services to help to place cats that are more suited for the outdoors and otherwise would be displaced with people and businesses that need rodent control. Find out how to employ a fuzzy exterminator for your barn.
Our volunteers sometimes find lost pets while trapping. Read about some of our heart warming reunions.
The Kitten Rescue Team is comprised of trained volunteers that temporarily foster young kittens that have been found during our TNR efforts. Members are required to go through training offered by the Coalition and must be pre-approved as a foster with our partner rescues as well as Loudoun County Animal Services. This helps to expedite removing the kittens from the field to ensure their safety and to decrease the colony population. Find out how to become a member.
