Nevis Feral Cat Project
The Plan
The Plan:
1. Identify areas where cats are commonly seen, assign areas to volunteers.
2. Gather needed supplies (in progress)
3. Ensure there will be people available to both check on cats after surgery and then transport cats back “home” when recovered.
4. There is a shortage of carriers (and traps) so we shuffle them best we can.
Flow of Events
1. Between 2-10 days before the clinic, begin feeding small amounts of food so cats become accustomed to
seeing food in a certain area where we will later be setting traps.
2. Begin trapping on the evening prior to the spay/neuter event
3. Transfer trapped cats to carriers and transport them Paws for a Cause the night before the s/n
surgery. Volunteers may be needed to help check on cats and give them food and water and clean area
until the surgery.
4. Traps must be cleaned and ready for reuse
5. After surgery, cats will recover in their carriers at Paws for a Cause and volunteers may be needed during recovery to help check on them and give them food and water and clean area
6. Male cats will be held for recovery overnight, and female cats will be held 24-36 hours. After this time, cats will need to be transported back where they came from and released.
Areas Identified for Cat Trapping:
This is a moving target and we rely on the communications of people in our community
