Cat food and donations needed for sustaining and neutering free-roaming cat colonies in Garden City

Save to Favorites

There is a huge population of free-roaming cats in Garden City because of the history of the temporary community members in some areas. The responsibility for the city’s free-roams cats has fallen on to the caregivers who have taken on the overwhelming tasks of their care.

Though we have always had a caring few who maintain their own colonies, this is a low-income area, and caregivers are using the little money they have to pay for spay and neutering surgeries, fostering, intake fees for adoptable kittens and cats, along with medical care and food. These efforts of a few are not sustainable. Cats are multiplying faster than they are being trapped.

The cats belong to the whole community, not to just the few people who have taken on the responsibility.

The Garden City Community Cats Project shares in the management and expense of Garden City cats. We believe in Trap Neuter and Return (TNR) as a way to show compassion to our cat community, and work with the caregivers to incorporate this into their colony's management.

Please drop food donations off at ROOTS, 3308 West Chinden Boulevard Garden City.
