- All cats must come either in a carrier (tame cats) or a humane trap (feral cats)
- Cats should have no food after midnight the night before surgery. Water is fine.
- Check-in time is 7:30am to 8:15am. No cats will be accepted after 8:30am.
- A maximum of two cats per household per day are accepted.
- Pick-up time is from 4:30-5:15pm the same day. We close at 5:30pm.
- On particularly busy days, some cats may be held overnight for surgery on the following day.
- All feral cats will receive an ear-tip to show that they have been altered.
- The fee to spay/neuter feral cats is $15. The remaining cost is generously subsidized by our donors and by I Care for Animals Car Tag funding.
- For tame cats, the regular fee is $50 for males and $60 for females. If you cannot afford our regular fees, we will work with you to find a price you can afford.
- Rabies vaccines ($13) are required if not current.
- Please do not mislead our staff by putting a tame cat in a trap in order to use the special feral price. Tame cats who arrive in traps will be charged the full fee of $55/65.

FacebookColony cats are neither wild nor tame but somewhere inbetween, dependant on humans to feed them. Not suitable for indoor lap pets, dullard hunting skills and hard pressed to survive on their own.
Most will allowing petting during feeding but if you try to stuff them in a carrier they will slice you.
Community cats are the sum of all the above including domestic cats who have reverted back to a feral state, and/or neglected outdoor pets, who may or may not be friendly with varying degrees of socialization., but when reliant upon humans will usually behave tame but fearfully.
All of these are OUTDOOR free roaming loose cats. Usually kept to an area by a food source, intentional or not such as dumpsters or mice/rats from a plant or farming feed storage, garbage of wasteful people who throw away meat…etc. When clustered in a colony and fed, without fixing this causes a population explosion.
All of the above should not be allowed to make more outdoor cats and NEED TNR.
