Dasher trapped August 2013
Trap, neuter, return is a humane alternative to trapping and killing feral cats.

Helping trap cats to get them neutered is a great way to keep feral cats out of shelters. Most feral cats picked up by animal control end up killed in shelters as not adoptable. But they can continue to live where they are and not create a nuissance if they are fixed so that they do not reproduce. People contact BCS Spay for help getting stray cats on their property spayed/neutered. In many cases, we simply drop off a trap and explain the basics of cat trapping, such as withholding food for 24 hours proir to trapping and being sure to cover the trap to keep the cat calm. For the elderly/disabled or large colonies of cats we sometimes help with the actual trapping and transporting trapped cats to the vet to get fixed. If you have transportation and a few hours to spare most months, we can train you to help with trapping. Brazos County (Bryan, College Station), Texas

Mission Statement

Our mission is to remove any barriers to spaying/ neutering pets and stray cats in Brazos county, Texas. By reducing the number of unwanted litters, our spay/neuter voucher program helps reduce the number of companion animals and feral cats entering our local shelters so that more pets will be able to find good homes. We subsidize spay/neuter surgeries, and provide assistance with transport and trapping stray cats. We also rescue some cats from trapping locations when they are in immediate danger.

Description

Residents of Brazos County who need help getting pets or stray cats spayed/neutered contact us to request vouchers. The vouchers, with whatever copay they are able to afford, covers the spay/neuter procedure, rabies vaccine, and microchip for identification. Ferals cats are eartipped to mark them as fixed before they are returned. We fix 350-450 cats and around 50 dogs each year. We are an entirely volunteer organization with no paid employees and rely on private donations to pay for the surgeries.
