The Jacksonville Humane Society is having a “FELINE FRENZY” on Sunday, November 24th, and offering FREE spay and neuter for any community cat. Our goal is to fix 100 cats in 1 day to help stop the kitten crisis. Will you join us?
A community cat is a cat that lives outside. He or she may have more than one “owner” or may live in a colony with other cats. This is a program for community cats in Jacksonville.
All cats will be altered, ear-tipped, microchipped and given the rabies vaccine.
***All cats must be in humane traps, not carriers.*** First Coast No More Homeless Pets loans traps and provides trapping guidance. Call 904-425-0005 or visit their website for additional info. You can also purchase traps from Amazon. Alley Cat Allies has great tips for trapping on their website: https://www.alleycat.org/
Drop off is at 7 a.m. at 8464 Beach Blvd. in Jacksonville, FL 32216. You will be given a pick-up time when you drop off.
Come to the “Veterinary Services” entrance.
This program is made possible by a generous grant from Alley Cat Allies.
