walk-in feral spay/neuter days

Feral caregivers may bring in free-roaming community cats without an appointment on these days. Attendance on these days is limited to community/free-roaming cats residing in Windsor and Essex County. 


Please arrive between 8AM-9AM.


Community cats must arrive in a live humane trap. You can bring more than one cat, but they must each be in their own trap. Please cover the trap with a towel and place a sticker label on the towel with the cat name and your last name.

 

Surgery consent forms specific to the walk-in date will be posted for you to print (please bring the entire package) and have it filled out prior to arriving. *Do not use old forms, you must use the current walk in days form*

 

Standard $50 fee (or voucher payment) required. A community cat package will be provided at no charge: FVRCP Vaccine, Rabies, Flea Treatment, Microchip and Ear tip. Due to the volume of surgeries NO additional services will be offered, nor can a service in the package be declined.

WALK IN DAYS

Please check back for walk-in day announcements, and be sure to follow us on Facebook!

In an effort to prevent spring litters and accommodate a higher demand for feral cat surgeries (due to the recently released municipal feral cat vouchers in Windsor/Essex County) we have released bookable appointments for the month of April.  These appointments are not intended for publicly owned cats and will not replace feral walk-in days moving forward.

What is a humane trap?

NOT Acceptable:

Acceptable: 

Cat carriers are NOT accepted. If a cat comes in a pet cat carrier, you will be turned away. The cat itself must weigh at least 3lbs or they will be declined for surgery. ONE cat per live humane trap. We cannot accept multiple cats in one trap. We cannot transfer cats to other traps for you. This needs to be done before you arrive. This is not safe for staff or the cat. There will be no exceptions.

If your trap door breaks and you want to bring your cat in a crate or cat carrier ( as this does happen) you will need to find a trap to put the cat into before arriving. We cannot make any exception for cat carriers because if we make one, we have to do the same for everyone. These rules apply for any community cats here for surgery.
