Folsom Feline Rescue advocates Trap, Neuter/spay, and Return (TNR) programs to help reduce the feral feline population and control future growth. Visit the feral cat resources page for more information on this National method of reducing feral cat populations. This page discusses our trapping policy and provides additional trapping resources. Feral Spay/Neuter Program (FSNP) This Program Has Been
Since August 1999 the spay and neuter of feral cats in California has been free thanks to a generous program provided by the CVMA and Maddies Fund. The Feral Cat Altering Program (FCAP) ended May 2002. Folsom Feline Rescue is now providing free spay and neuter procedures for feral cats. This program is based on limited funds and may end at any time. Residents of Folsom City qualify for this program. The cats must be feral (wild) and in a humane cat trap when delivered to a participating veterinarian. The program will cover the spay or neuter, Rabies, and 3 in 1 vaccination. After a recovery period the cats must be returned to the area where they were caught and released. This is called Trap Neuter Release (TNR) and is becoming the National method of dealing with feral cats. Contact us for more information or
