Aside from generous donations, we depend on grants for all our programs to survive. We need your help! If you have taken advantage of our TNR Programs by getting traps and cats fixed using our low cost spay/neuter services, please email your story .

All final grant reports must have stories with photos illustrating how grant funds were spent, and your story can really help the cats and kittens we’ve yet to rescue.

If we have helped you with our Cat Crisis Fund or taken in kittens for adoption, we want to hear from you! If your story is selected to be used in one of our final grant reports, your story will be featured in our Newsletter and you’ll get a free SAFCC tee!

Stories should say how SAFCC helped you do TNR or helped with your cat situation. Before and after pics are highly encouraged!

Please send submissions to info@sanantonioferalcats.org

We look forward to receiving them!

The Feral Shelter Program may not survive if we do not get more Styrofoam soon.

Be involved in a humane project at the same time when you contribute Styrofoam to our Feral Shelters Program.

If you or someone you know works in a hospital, clinic or pharmacy that receives regular shipments of large, sturdy Styrofoam boxes, let us take them off their hands! Don’t throw away perfectly good boxes that can have second lives as shelters for homeless cats. The cats need these shelters for all harsh weather conditions. Thank you, Animal Care Services for your donations!

If you have Styrofoam you can donate, provide your name and phone number by emailing Robert at: feralshelters@sanantonioferalcats.org

Thanks Anita!

We know we have the best volunteers! They dedicate their time to bettering the lives of cats, and support other organizations like Daisy Cares.

We recently volunteered at Daisy Cares food distribution with District 3. We invited our friends at District 3 to attend one of our free TNR classes. Next class date will be September 14th!

Thank you SAFCC Volunteer, Anita!

Thank you Jan and Lorraine!

When two sisters, Veronica and Emily, were getting an eviction from their complex, they scrambled to rehome their rescues. They successfully rehomed nine cats and had just three days left to rehome their last three rescues, Miss Kitty, Lilly, and Milo (not pictured). From posting on multiple social media platforms, to knocking on doors, Veronica and Emily tried all they could think of. One of our volunteers saw their pleas and our organization stepped in to ensure these last three rescues got spayed, before connecting Veronica and Emily with SCAT. Our volunteers work miracles every day. Please donate to our organization so we can continue to look out for these precious cats.

Thank you Jan and Lorraine for stepping in to help!

Welcome back home, Cece!

When one of our feeders went to feed their cat colony, they noticed a new face in the bunch!

Since the cat was not ear-tipped, we assumed it was not fixed and trapped it. We later found out that the cat was a female named Cece, microchipped, but not fixed. We contacted the phone number on her microchip and learned that Cece had been missing for several months already.

Her owners allowed us to get her spayed and fully vaccinated, and drove over 20 miles to retrieve her. Microchipping and spay/neutering your pets is the most important thing pet owners can do. Welcome back home, Cece!

Fosters

Can you open your home to helpless kittens who have no where to turn?

We need more fosters including one-time fosters who can help. With our growing plea list, our Helpline volunteers have been asked to refer callers to other resources for placement.

Please consider providing shelter so we don’t have to turn lovable and perfectly adoptable cats away.

Petco Feeders/Cleaners

Got some free time on Fridays? Our Petco location on Austin Hwy really needs two feeder/cleaners to tend to our cats and kittens who are patiently waiting to be adopted. We are requesting at least two volunteers in case we need a back-up for this location. Please take time out of your Friday to stop at Petco and make sure our cats and kittens are fed and comfortable in a clean environment.

Please fill out a volunteer form and we will contact you to discuss these volunteer positions in more detail.

Our classes cover crucial material from start to finish. Credit for the class will not be given to late arrivals. This means you will not be able to take advantage of our resources ranging from trapping supplies, subsidized clinics, and more.

In August, 149 people took our course in person or online. Please bring your friends and family this free class if they are ready to address the cat overpopulation issue in their neighborhoods.

The Big Give – Early Giving Begins

Early Giving with Big Give starts on September 11th. All donations, no matter early or on September 18th-19th, will help countless cats and kittens. Our Helpline receives call about cats and kittens who need medical care, including emergency intervention. Any cat that is not fixed and also needs assistance from our Cat Crisis Fund, will get everything done so only one sedation is required. Our Cat Crisis Fund allows us to help people with vet bills so their cats can get the help they need. Please save this date on your calendar and keep an eye out for more information.

We are ready for a world that’s free of needless suffering. Big Give is an annual 24-hour day of giving that connects South Texas non-profits to loyal and new supporters. Our organization is taking this opportunity to raise funds for our Cat Crisis Fund. Our Cat Crisis Fund is dedicated to sharing the cost of vet care for sick and injured outside cats within Bexar County. Every day, our volunteers step in to give cats and kittens in need a second chance. This is not possible without the support of generous donors. Please keep an eye out for more information to come.
