Do You Need Help With Feral Cats?

San Antonio Feral Cat Coalition is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Corporation formed to help people involved with managing feral/outdoor/free-roaming cats. These cats can reproduce quickly and so if you are concerned, and especially if you are feeding outdoor cats, we can help.

ATTEND A FREE WORKSHOP JUST ONCE FOR A LIFETIME OF BENEFIT!

In order for us to help you and to qualify for the advantages of access to low-cost spay/neuter surgeries, free trap loan and advice on how to control the outdoor cat population humanely - you must first attend a FREE Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) workshop. The workshop also gives safety tips on how to complete your TNR project without getting hurt. You only need to attend ONE workshop ONCE, to qualify to use our program. Once you attend, there is no need to attend a second time, unless you want to. Please refer to the schedule for dates and locations of upcoming workshops on our Events page.

The workshop will answer most of your questions but you can also refer to our Frequently Asked Questions.

Changing Minds in 2009

San Antonio Feral Cat Coalition has received $12,000 from the Aid to Helpless Animals Trust and Gaynelle and Gene Rankin Endowment Trust of the San Antonio Area Foundation. This grant will enable us to continue our efforts to educate the citizens of the San Antonio area about Trap-Neuter-Return through our free TNR Workshops. It will also allow us to increase our ability to loan traps to people who have attended our Workshops so that they can more easily perform TNR on the colonies they are managing.

We cannot thank the San Antonio Area Foundation enough to express our appreciation for the support they give to the groups in San Antonio who are working on the front line in the battle to reach the No-Kill goal set by the City of San Antonio.

Calendar of Events Update

We are now offering our popular Feral Cat Workshop 4 times a month at various locations around San Antonio. The dates, times and locations vary to make it possible for everyone to attend a workshop within a reasonable distance and to suit different schedules. Check out our events page for information.

Partnership With Purrfect Haven

San Antonio Feral Cat Coalition is partnering with Purrfect Haven, another San Antonio nonprofit organization that helps cats in Brackenridge Park. Purrfect Haven has for many years cared for stray and feral cats in Brackenridge Park. Together, we are collaborating with the City of San Antonio Department of Animal Care Services and the Department of Parks and Recreation to form the San Antonio Coalition for Trap Neuter and Return (SACTNR) Program to implement a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) pilot program in Brackenridge Park. The program will advocate a nonlethal method to control and reduce the number of feral cats in the park.

Many of the cats in Brackenridge Park are not feral and are suitable for adoption. Volunteers from Purrfect Haven have been working hard to find homes for these cats but many still remain that need good homes. If you are interested in adopting any of these cats, or would like to volunteer to help Purrfect Haven in managing the feral cat colonies in Brackenridge Park, please contact Liz Skipper at 210-690-1407.

Cats for Adoption

San Antonio Feral Cat Coalition cats that have been rescued by volunteers are available through Petfinder.com (shelter ID TX841). You may view a current list of our adoptable cats. Please note that all animals that SAFCC adopts out are already spayed or neutered and are current on vaccinations.

Traps

We have a limited number of humane animal traps available for loan on an individual basis. Call the Help Line at 210-877-9067 if you would like to check out a trap.
