Dear Feral Cat Caretakers:
Who are we? According to the Humane Society of the United States, there are about 17.5 million of us, nationally, feeding and caring for homeless cats and kittens, referred to as feral cats and strays. It is estimated that one in five households are involved, and in so doing, many find themselves isolated and misunderstood by their friends and relativeand the communities they serve.
As it now stands, in most communities, the caretakers and feral cats are responded to in a fragmented manner. There may be other persons feeding the same cats and not know about one another. They would be willing to help but there is no network for contact. Our anonymity, lack of support and fear, all work against us and those we care for. We usually wait to contact someone when the situation is out of hand.
Many of us do not have the educational skills and tools necessary for successful long-term outcomes. But, we have the passion and commitment to care for the homeless feral cats and kittens under the most heartbreaking circumstances. Their presence gives us the strength and courage to endure.
WHAT CAN WE DO?–Now is the time for you to come together locally and organize into a cohesive, well informed group. A dedicated membership with a united cause will attract attention, local recognition and support. Begin by networking, share your resources and experiences and build a strong neighborhood constituency. No matter the size, it will be a forceful united voice for the feral cats and kittens.Do not be intimidated or discouraged. Set your goals, be creative and you can do what might seem impossible. I DID IT.
We have the collective material available to begin your project and sufficient information to form a Community Cat Workshop in your area. Attached is a Caretaker Membership Form you can use to recruit people and network. Feel free to copy or change to your specifications. If you have any questions, please contact me at info@feralcatcaretakers.org.
We conduct ongoing yearly workshops in the Los Angeles area. The time and place is posted here and in our newsletters.
If you wish to sign up for our newsletters, send your email address to feralcatcr@aol.com.
Thank you for caring and keep in touch!
