This is very sad for our community. Pets become stray or are surrendered for various reasons. If you choose to be a good samaritan and pick up a stray it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY from the moment you do so. So have a plan:
- Try to find foster care
- Contact local organizations such as Monroe animal league (570-476-8444) or Animal cruelty officer (866-601-spca)
- For purebreds, look to AKC or purebred cat organizations
- Advertise in local newspapers
- Call local veterinarians to alert them and get resources.
- Having problems with feral cats? “Operation Catsnip” is a low cost spay/neuter program available to you. Sponsored by No Kill Lehigh Valley. Call for details (484) 695-6829
PLEASE do not drop animals on your vet’s doorstep. At HVC we do not have the space to house these animals nor the resources to place them.
