Why people hire us?
Many
people find themselves in a situation of having too many cats
that are not spayed/neutered, and are breeding out of control.
Often when this happens many people don't have the ability or
time to trap, and remove the cats themselves. We are not
out to trap people's pets but we do advise people to make sure
their pets have collars on so that we don't accidentally
remove someones pet.
We do understand that a cat with a tipped ear has been
spayed/neutered. already.
What's
TNR? Trap Neuter Return- Some people with feral
colonies want to keep their cats, but they don't want
them to continue to breed so TNR is an option for some people.
What
happens if the cats go to Kern County Animal Control?
Once the cats are delivered to Kern County Animal Control it it
up to KCAC to determine their fate.
What's a feral cat?
Cats that have
never been socialized or have been abandoned
by their owners.
I have some pet cats that I no
longer want, can you take them? If you are the owner
and the cats are friendly then we prefer
that you take the cats to KCAC yourself. If you are
disabled and unable to care for the cats or they are friendly
strays that wandered onto your property then yes we will be glad
to help you. Kern County Animal Control charges a
surrender fee for pets so expect to pay for their charges and
ours.
Why can't you find homes for
the cats instead of taking them to KCAC? We are not a
rescue. If you want the cat to have a new home then it is
suggested that you call and find a rescue to take the cat(s).
