While Stray No More's Low Cost Spay/Neuter Program accommodates only domesticated dogs and cats, we often get questions asking, "Where can I go to get feral cats fixed?". The following information will address that issue. Feral cats are "wild" cats; that is, cats that cannot be easily touched by humans or who avoid human contact altogether. Alley Cat Allies, an advocate group based in Bethesda, Maryland, provides extensive information on feral cats, including how to Trap, Neuter, and Release (TNR).
Contact Alley Cat Allies at www.alleycat.org OR by calling 240-482-1980.
Feral cats require specialized care when taken to a vet due to their extreme, sometimes violent, reactions to being handled and transported. Most facilities require that feral cats be transported inside a trap as opposed to a cat carrier. It is advised to NOT attempt to transfer a feral cat from one container to another, as they can easily escape or injure themselves or you.
The following area shelters or veterinarians will spay/neuter feral cats:
