Our Current Project PDF Print E-mail
Over the last two years, Seminole County feral cat advocates (including all of us at Spay N Save) have been working together to ask for changes on how the county currently handles feral cats.  This grassroots organization, Friends of Ferals (FOF),  has met with the Seminole County Animal Control Board in meetings and workshops to discuss the implementation of TNVR (Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return).  As the first step necessary, FOF has asked for a rewrite of the current Seminole County Ordinance 20-17.  FOF would like to see cats exempted from this ordinance so that feral cats, once spayed and vaccinated, can live out their natural lives outdoors.  FOF would like the county to agree to refer those residents interested in TNVR to Spay N Save or other spay/neuter clinics for assistance.  And lastly, we ask that animal services stop using killing (which is costly and does not work) as their only means of attempting to control the feral cat population.

Last fall, Spay N Save was asked to help Crescent J Ranch Forever Florida (www.floridaeco-safaris.com/crescent-j-ranch.php ) get control of a colony of cats on their eco-friendly property.

Lisa Reddy and Phyllis Ayoob drove down to St. Cloud with their van loaded with 24 humane traps.  When they arrived, the traps were set up in a barn where the cats were accustomed to being fed.  They left the area for 90 minutes to give the cats time to “take the bait”.
What a pleasant shock they received when we returned to find 24 cats trapped! A few of the cats were transferred to carriers and those traps were reset and left for the night. 
When Spay N Save returned the next morning along with Dr. Rossen and his staff, there were 4 more trapped cats waiting!  In the end, only 1 wiley cat and a couple of small kittens were not sterilized that day.  Those were altered in the spring when Dr. Rossen returned.  Even now we can’t believe how successful our trap and neuter day at the ranch turned out.  We wish the Crescent J cats could be a good example to all the other kitties out there!

Spay & Neuter Clinic PDF Print E-mail
On January 3rd and 4th we're holding spay/neuter clinics out in Geneva.  If you would like to volunteer to work recovery, check-in or check-out please let me know and I'll be sure to get you signed up.  We can always use help, even if it's just a few hours, and the clinics are a good way to get hands on experience working with the kitties.
